0925elliotIn the ongoing volley of finger-pointing and denials following actress Mackenzie Phillips‘ shocking allegations that she had been involved in an incestuous relationship with her father, music legend John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, Mackenzie’s best friend has come out swinging in her defense.

Owen Elliot, the daughter of John’s bandmate Cass Elliot tells Extra, “Mackenzie is my best friend. She speaks her truth, and it’s not a pretty truth. She has lived with this for 30+ years, and talking about this now is an important part of her recovery. I am very proud of her. Her bravery in telling her story is bound to help others.”

The Discussion

  1. irene says:

    She is a drug addict and appears to be still. Is anything she says worth listening to?? Who cares?

  2. blank says:

    She was a victim, and that’s not her fault. Her father was toxic and selfish. He shot her up and had sex with her. Come on, why are people so mean to victims. If she’s doing this publicly that’s her choice. If it’s just for money, I don’t fault her for that either. She’s doing what she can to survive now, and her past hurt her terribly. Why would someone lie about those kinds of things unless she’s completely insane. And what if she is? If she is insane wouldn’t the right thing to do be to have empathy for her and be caring? I know her family is upset about the publicity, but they are feeding into that by getting involved too. I, for one, empathize with her as the victim of abuse and believe her story and wish her peace and kindness from family and strangers. I wish her the best.

    If she needs to speak about it as part of her reovery, why not do it with a psyquiatrist like everyone else. Why let the whole world know abou this ?? If she thinks she might go to hell for having sex with her dad, then go see a priest. What ’s the point of going on TV and writing a book about it. How is that going to make her recover? She should get mecical help and some psycho therapy like everyone else with similar problems. But then, of course, that doesn’t sell and I suppose that what she needs/wants is to make money out of this.

  4. Karen Lee says:

    SHE WAS NO MORE A VICTIM THAN HER FATHER. SHE WAS NINETEEN YEARS OLD … OLD ENOUGH TO BE A MOTHER AND AN ADULT.
    SHE HAS SPENT HER LIFE WHINING ABOUT HER “POOR CHILDHOOD” OF DRUGS, SEX, ROCK N ROLL.

    WHY DID SHE WAIT THIS LONG BEFORE TELLING THIS TAWDRY TALE? SHE WAITED UNTIL HER POOR FATHER WAS DEAD & UNABLE to defend himself.

    SHE IS A SKANK — AND SO IS OPRAH FOR GIVING HER A NATIONAL FORUM. THERE IS NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE …
    BUT THIS ENTIRE FIASCO IS TASTE-LESS, CLASS-LESS AND BOGUS.

    SHAME ON THIS SPOILED HOLLYWOOD BRAT … HER LYING PUBLICITY-STARVING SIBLINGS — and especially OPRAH. OH, HOW THE MIGHTY O HAS FALLEN ,… into the GUTTER.

    • outrage says:

      yes KAREN, because the BEST way to get publicity is to LIE about having an incestuous relationship with your own fucking father. that is really the way to go, and that is why she did it. please do everyone a favor and get an education

      • elsa caceres says:

        she can have confessed the truth to the counsellor…now her two sisters are faced with embarassment…it is selfish…called selling books

  5. Helen says:

    Two sisters Myeka and Imani had an insighful discussion about Mackenzie Phillips on Friday on BlogTalk Radio. They thanked her for her coming forward and had an indepth discussion on incest. You can listen to it at anytime at:

  6. Christine says:

    oh good greif. Ya’ll need to get a life. if you don’t like it then don’t participate simple as that. no reason you can’t turn off yr tv or tune out yr radio’s or NOT buy her book… Either if it is true or not true everyone is feeding into it & as a result she makes more $ & gets more attention.
    This world is geting so pathetic. find more positive thing to focus on & MAYBE then this world CAN be a better place.
    SHEEEEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
