Former "One Day at a Time" child star Mackenzie Phillips opened up to Oprah Winfrey about her alleged incestuous relationship with her father, The Mamas and the Papas lead singer John Phillips. Phillips said her father started a sexual relationship with her when she was about 18 years old and claims the relationship continued for 10 years. "It didn't happen every day, didn't happen every week, but it did happen many times," the actress told Oprah on Wednesday's "Oprah Winfrey Show" of the incest. "It became a consensual relationship over time." Phillips attributes the incest to her claim that both she and her father were heavily into drugs during the course of their alleged sexual relationship. Phillips said of her father, "He was a man who lived in a world where the rules didn't apply." The actress told Oprah that what ended the incest was when she became pregnant and had an abortion. "I did not know who the father was," she said. Phillips said after the pregnancy scare, she no longer allowed her father to touch her. The actress' story can be found in her memoir High On Arrival, in bookstores now.
