Mackenzie Phillips' Stepmother Speaks!

Filed under: Drugs

wenn274735mp__opt1.jpg

The shocking story of Mackenzie Phillips' incestuous relationship with her father has had many people coming forward in either defense or anger towards the actress.

One such person in dismay over her allegations is her former stepmother, Genevieve Waite. She released a statement directly to the Oprah Winfrey Show after the show aired, denouncing Phillips' story:

"I am stunned by Mackenzie's terrible allegations about her father. I would often complain about her overly familiar attitudes towards him, and he said it was just her way. John was a good man. … He was incapable, no matter how drunk or drugged he was, to have sexual relations with his own child."

Since John Phillips isn't alive to defend himself, there is no real way of knowing if Mackenzie is telling the truth. But what a terrible thing to live with if it is true and how hard it must be to share.

      "But what a terrible thing to live with if it is true and how hard it must be to share." she's making money out of it, so i guess it's not that terrible - for her.



    2. 2

      Holy shit mario … this fucking quote was right on the Oprah show …during the show. What ? did you think you were giving us breaking details….



    3. 3

      A daughter who makes statements against her father is bad, but so is a mother who defends her dead ex over her own kid. I am not picking sides here, just saying that it appears this girl had a beyond messed up life either way.



    4. 4

      She didn't seem to have much difficulty sharing her story on Oprah. I cannot tell you how many times they repeated the books title and showed the book to the camera.



    5. 5

      Poor Mama Cass. She's probably rolling in her grave over this mess. May she rest in peace. Papa John, you're a pig if this is true.



    6. 6

      So just cutting and pasting another article from another news source. Why do you even bother with the website anymore? Is it just so you can advertise Sliimy?



    7. 7

      either way— its obvious mckenzie just wanted to sell books



    8. 8

      I believe it.
      No one could ever make up some sh!t like that.
      That man was a monster.



    9. 9

      For reals, who would fuck this mutt with her hot sister Chyna in the other room? And that Mick Jagger shit…… BITCH PLEASE! Now run on down to your corner and suck another dick for dimebag!

      I hate it when people come forward with horrible stories about a person after they are dead. This woman is a former drug addict who is unable to find work. Her only means of support is selling her story. Nobody would read it if she didn't juice up the story. If it is true she should have kept it to herself or told her tale when her father was alive to defend himself.



    12. 12

      "overly familiar attitudes…." Yeah, it's called schtuping — and not in a good way.

      ergh who knows the truth. It seems like she was so messed up on drugs that I doubt she even knows. Either way its good publicity for her book



    14. 14

      John Phillips was a delusional scum bag and doesn't deserve to be forgiven by her even in death.



    15. 15

      I don't know who to believe.



    16. 16

      Yup, this bitch Genevieve Waite was DEFINITELY involved.. but heck, it isn't a shocker is it?



    17. 17

      And if it isn't true (come on, try both sides of the hypothesis), then how horrible of a daughter to discredit her father.



    18. 18

      I don't know who to believe. I guess that's how it's supposed to be because I don't know these people…of course, mackenzie thrust it into the public by talking about it. She says it's to help others, but then why not just do the interview and not promote the book? It's also very convenient that this is all happening when her father is dead and therefore cannot tell his side of the story.

      every one knew her father and her drugged together and her sister confirmed her story



    20. 20

      Sadly, some children become overtly sexual when they have been molested.



    21. 21

      What happened to her real Mom?



    22. 22

      Who is the hell would make this shit up?? Child molested where it is not her fault, and blame her father, I can see someone lying BUT to admit that as an adult you had a consensually sexually relationship with your father, no one is hell would make that up.



    23. 23

      Mackenzie,
      I hope you have many happy days and forget the terrible past. Good luck to you.



    24. 24

      who would lie about it??? She said it was consentual at one point people, she is not making herself out to look good that is for sure. If she just wanted to sell books and it is all a lie I think she would make herself look a bit better in that lie.
      What I want to know is why would her mother let her go and live with such a fucked up druggie at age 13? She would have probably have been better off if she was raised by wolves.
      And comparasons to her sisters don't really count because they are 1/2 sisters and as far as I know raised by their mothers.



    25. 25

      Re: Big Black Dick – LMAO, good observation.



    26. 26

      i believed that mackenzie was telling the truth



    27. 27

      YOU KNOW MACKENZIE COULD BE TELLING THE TRUTH. THERE ARE SOME GIRLS/WOMEN OUT THERE WHO HAVE BEEN RAPED OR MOLESTED BY THEIR OWN FATHER/STEP-FATHER AND THE MOM/STEP-MOM DENIES IT. EVEN IF THEY KNOW IT'S THE TRUTH.



    28. 28

      jphn Phillips of course would deny it

    29. 6one9 says – reply to this

      I 100% believe MAC!!! Trust me on this~~~~~
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      My father didn't have to be on drugs to molest me. Unfortunately, some fathers molest their daughters!! like MYSELF!! I ALSO DIDN'T 'COME OUT' WITH IT UNTIL I WAS 24 YRS OLD. Sometimes the molester threatens, and tells lies to get the 'molested' to keep quiet!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      So once I grew up and had 2 daughters of my own did I nailed the bastard to the wall,, called him out, etc.. Of course he lied and denied!! ~~~~~~~~~
      Years later “` KARMA got him baby!! He got sick and stayed sick for about 3 years, then after being in the hospital for some time, he had a heart attack and died!!! HOPE he rots in HELL!!!!! :)



    30. 30

      DUH…her "her overly familiar attitudes towards him" is a sign of sexual activity, and obviously with her father. If it looked like a duck and walked like a duck, it was probably a duck. \



    31. 31

      Sounds like she is in some heavy denial! Besides, Mackenzie already had told her sister years earlier, so this is not a new story. Well, it is for the public, but not to Mackenzie. And I'm sorry but considering how much of a druggie and alcoholic he was, how would she know what he would and wouldn't do? You lose a lot of your inhibitions when you are that inebriated. Not surprised she is denying it though. Awful story.



    32. 32

      There are two sides and the truth to every story. I don't believe anything I see or hear. It's fun to visit and read junks once in a while, but I wouldn't take what she said seriously.



    33. 33

      Re: lizsmith – Have you ever thought about the fact that now that she is trying to stay clean all these memories are eating her up? That's why people start talking as they get older. I myself have been a victim of molestation and believe me, it's not something you ever forget. But if you don't talk about it….it will eat you up and that is more than likely the main reason WHY she turned to drugs for so much. I would too in her position. Part of writing a memoir is getting out ALL the memories…good or bad. So, that's what she did. And of course she will be interviewed and asked the hard questions. To say she is only doing this for $$ is wrong and insensitive. You have NO IDEA how hard it would be to tell that story on live tv. But at least she can now hopefully excise her demons and live a better life. Have some compassion.



    34. 34

      I find it odd that all of this is coming out when she has a book to sell.

      If she really wanted to help others she would have revealed this long ago.

      Personally, the man is not her to defend himself and I am ALWAYS skeptical when kids claim this after the parent is dead.



    35. 35

      Any father who drank and drugged in his young daughter's presence is certainly capable of pretty much ANYTHING.
      I believe her. Chynna Phillips confirms that Mackenzie had confided in her years ago.
      It's sad that her disgusting Dad was not held accountable for his sickening behavior. Death was too good for him.



    36. 36

      It makes me sad to see the insensitivity and judgement of people. My father did the same to me. It is something very hard to talk about. Whether the father is alive or not it makes no difference. They will always deny it just like my father did anyway. I too did not say anything til I was older. Good for her for making money on this. Its the least she deserves. Any man who is going to be rude about this probably has sexually hurt other individuals.



    37. 37

      screw the ex wives, they are embarrassed and guilty, what about her bio mother letting her live with that shit?



    38. 38

      So sorry, Mac. Your story is heart wrenching.



    39. 39

      Well I watched Oprah and she didn’t look like she was lying. I think her family needs to be there for her and try to figure out what the truth is. If she is telling the truth then they need to be there for her and help her heal. If they find out that it is not true then they still need to be by her side and get her some help.



    40. 40

      It is impossible for a healthy, "whole" person to have a consensual sexual relationship with his/her parent. Mackenzie Phillips obviously participated in this relationship knowingly, but everything about her childhood and adolescence was skewed, twisted, and completely backwards. She, for lack of a better word, was programmed by her father to behave in a certain way and taught to accept things that were unacceptable. For anyone to blame her for what she did to cope with her family life, lack of being parented, etc., is heartless and shameful. Many unspeakable things happen behind closed doors in seemingly "normal" families every day. If this is the first time you've heard of such abuses, consider yourself lucky but don't visit your ignorance on the survivors of such horrors.



    41. 41

      Re: MyOpinionOnly – Very well said!



    42. 42

      I believe her too.



    43. 43

      He was obviously drunk and drugged enough to share drugs with his own children. What makes it so absurd that he wouldn't have a sexual relationship with his daughter? Doing drugs with your own children is as absurd as it gets, and I'm sorry, but a man capable of that is capable of anything! I totally believe the story!



    44. 44

      mhm, she was due to marry the next day. and if that didn't make her angry of this and stopped her from further sex with him, i don't know what could have. i believe her, but i can't immagine that a 19 year old, who already stood on their own feet, isn't able to stop stuff like this, but goes on living like this for another 10 years. we will never know the truth, as her father is dead - and to be honest: i don't care about the truth nor did i want to know about any of this. this is not a typical child abuse story, this is 100% weird. maybe she should've asked a shrink first before writing a book and using this very story to promote it.
      btw: wohooo i have been first!! have you seen that?? what an honour!



    45. 45

      All that Genevieve Waite did was confirm that Mackenzie is telling the truth. Wake up Genevieve why do you think she was familiar? And of course he is going to deny it.

      What a dip sh!t you are.



    46. 46

      I love Genevieve Waite, she was so hot back in the day! I listen to her record all the time.



    47. 47

      why the f would someone "claim" their bio father molested them unless it was true???????? how fucking embarrassing….obviously he is a damn pedophile like most of the fucking loser men in this world….stepmother- can we say 'denial>>>>>"



    48. 48

      Sadly, I believe her. Her own sister believed her. Her step-mom even admits that the daughter was overly close with her father. I don't believe in taking it to such a public forum, but that was her choice, probably guided by money.



    49. 49

      Her mother or step mother who ever it is. Is just like a lot of women . in denial. I belive Makenzie . I am also a survivor victim of child sexual abuse and rape. I saw her in me. the shaking hands , that happens when we peak about the abuse it like its happening right now.
      The Wife of her father should be ashamed . Victims dont speak out because they feel they wont be belived. I belive her. Who would put themself through this hell. And we need more to be brave enough to speak out .



    50. 50

      Re: juicycampus – the book will help us survivors/victims



    51. 51

      Re: Race Bannon – your wrong did you see her hands shaking , I was waiting for a full blown panic attack. It was very hard for her to do this. And she may help others like myself know we are not alone. It happens far to often. And the effect are life altering. Mentally, physically. They say abused child stay mental at the age the abuse happened. And I belive her abuse was far before she said.



    52. 52

      So she banged her dad, at least she didn't reveal that she did the nasty wil Schnieder the maintenance man now that that would have been SICK! :-)

      (One Day at a Time for all you pube-less)



    53. 53

      The stepmothers probably didn't notice their husbands was having an improper relationship with his own daughter because they were probably too high themselves! If they married a piece of s… like him that drugged his own children, do you really think these women are sane? They are just as bad. They are probably accomplices, so they will continue their denial.

      Unfortunately, a lot of women prefer to side with the husbands. Shame.

      Funny how her sister Chyna spoke about it 11 years ago and there was NO DOUBT in her mind! NONE! She witnessed one act of it.
      Michelle Phillips feels bad because she was a lousy wife and a lousy step-mother who was more than willing to look the other way.

      Step mothers like yo make me sick

      Furthermore, saying that Mackenzie was too familiar with John? Classic sign. His indifference also classic



    56. 56

      Nobody wants to believe the ugly truth because everybody is a little bit GUILTY, aren't they Mama Genevieve? It's so easy to pretend that you didn't know. Not so easy now though, is it? As Papa John introduced hard drugs to his 10 year old daughter, what do you think the odds are that he violated her in another way? Let's stop playing games, shall we?

      It is - obviously -100% TRUE.



    57. 57

      Oh, NO, the MONEY is disappearing!!! Mackenzie must be lying!



    58. 58

      oh who gives a fuck either way? People are so uptight about sexuality. The drugs were much worse than any sexual thing someone was doing….she wasn't a baby when this happened, if it did. None of these people has much credibility (alive or dead) and it's all so trivial; leave it to Oprah (aka Jerry Springer) to put it up there as if it is world-breaking news. Shame on you Oprah, you've descended to sensationalism and tabloid garbage. I remember the days when you tried to illuminate important issues. Mackenzie Phillips was on a television show a very very long time ago. Jeez, she has a kid herself, must be fun living THAT life.

      Shut the door on all of it, who cares?



    59. 59

      This is just f*cked up all the way around !!



    60. 60

      Bottom line most of you are missing here is …… She LIKED having sex with her dad! This is not a molestation here, this is a 19 yr old grown woman that DID NOT have to have sex with her father. She WANTED to! I also think she was probly already into drugs when she started doing them with her father. She did drugs for 35 yrs cos she LOVED drugs. You can't blame her dad for that either. And anyone that would tell the world she wanted & had sex with her father is just an idiot. p.s. I'm a yr older than her & when I was young, I went out & got drunk alot, did pills & dabbled in drugs & pot & got very loaded. Being very loaded NEVER made me want to have sex with my father. Nor would I EVER have ended up in bed with my father if he did come on to me. There's just some things you don't do even if you're high out of your mind if you're of a certain caliber kind of person. She willingly went to his bed fully knowing what would happen. Stop blaming the drugs Mackenzie. You had sex with your dad because he turned you on apparently. You should have kept all this to yourself & lived life without having money opposed to this despicable confession.
