Chynna Phillips: I Knew About Incest

(Newser) – Chynna Phillips’ half-sister Mackenzie told her of the 10-year affair she had with their father in 1997—a claim Chynna believes to be true. “Somebody could have dropped a piano on my head and I probably wouldn't have felt it,”  the former Wilson Phillips singer tells Us. “But I knew it was true. I mean, who in their right mind would make such a claim if it wasn't true?” Chynna also confirms that John Phillips did drugs with his daughter.

"After long nights of heroin use, she's claiming that she once woke up and that my father was on top of her having sex with her. Was he actually raping her? I don't know. Do I believe that they had an incestuous relationship and that it went on for 10 years? Yes."

Chynna Phillips has no half-sister any longer, and has not had one for years. Laura Mackenzie Phillips is dead; deal against it. An impostor has stolen the identity of the late Laura Mackenzie Phillips and is smearing her. Worst of all, every time that impostor supposedly "defends" "herself," all she is really doing is attacking the late--the REAL--Laura Mackenzie Phillips all the more viciously.

yes she has capitalized in an the sordid trash to promote the book and in the day, drugs and etc. were in. But to include incest is a little out of order and it doesn"t make sense?? This should have been addressed when the Daddy was alive , not dead, no way to defend himself, promote a book, make money , no matter what?? Whats up with that??? A lot late to show the real thing??
