Phillips Family's Controversies Over the Years: Incest Allegations and More


The Phillips family’s history is full of dark chapters, from Mackenzie Phillips’ incest allegations to drug and alcohol addiction

In her 2017 book, Hopeful Healing: Essays on Managing Recovery and Surviving Addiction, Mackenzie recalled “being 16 or 17 and knocking on the bathroom door, looking for my dad, and hearing him say, ‘Not now, darling, Daddy’s shooting up.’” John’s second wife, Michelle, publicly slammed the claims, telling The Hollywood Reporter that Mackenzie had “a lot of mental illness” and “had a needle stuck up her arm for 35 years.” “I understand Mackenzie’s need to come clean with a history she feels will help others, but it’s devastating to have the world watch as we try and mend broken fences, especially when the man in question isn’t here to defend himself.”
