The troubled daughter of “The Mamas & The Papas” singer John Phillips said Wednesday her late father raped her as a teen before the two later had a consensual incestuous relationship. Mackenzie Phillips, 49, a former child star with a history of drug abuse, made the claims in a memoir “High on Arrival” published Wednesday and repeated the allegations on Oprah Winfrey’s television show. In her book Phillips, best known for her roles in the 1973 film “American Graffiti” and sitcom “One Day at a Time”, recalled how she first had sex with her father on the eve of her wedding in 1979. “On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it,” Phillips writes. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed. This was disclosed by Mckinsey Phillips in an interview on Oprah Winfrey show.
