Many of you youngsters probably do not remember the excellent televised ode to single motherhood and moustachioed building supers, One Day at a Time, so you don’t remember Mackenzie Phillips as Julie Cooper. Mackenzie is the half sister of Bijou Phillips and the daughter of John Phillips, aka Papa John from the Mamas and the Papas, whose drug use and amoral lifestyle were well-chronicled until his death in 2001. Mackenzie, who has battled drug addiction since the ’70s, has a new book out today called High on Arrival in which she drops a really horrifying, Josef Fritzl-sized bombshell (via People):
“On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it,” writes Phillips, who was 19 and a heavy drug user at the time. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed.”
“My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father. Had this happened before? I didn’t know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it.”
She goes on to say that the sexual relationship lasted ten years. This is honestly too sad and depressing to post about anymore. We thought better of Papa John. His Cinnapies and helpful dipping sauces for pizza crust are so delicious!

OH, JESUS!
A little respect for the victim of abuse, please. That ‘Papa John’ joke was uncalled for. The creep committed a crime against his own daughter! That bastard should be strung up and quartered.
Nobody’s disrespecting Mackenzie! We’re just trying to turn a really ugly story around a little. That’s our job!
Yeah, but the Papa John joke…Cripes! Couldn’t you guys test it amongst yourselves to make sure it didn’t cross a line unnecessarily? All you need is someone from Papa John’s management to read that and all Hell will be break loose, satire or not.
That’s what CNW does, they report something horrible and then make a joke so it doesn’t completly depress us. If all there was were depressing stories then we might just start blowing our brains out after reading the days news.
Papa John won’t mind. He’s been dead since 2001
Never mind that deceased creep. I’m more worried about the company Papa John’s getting wind of this and taking offense. You know how corporations are. Bastards will move Heaven, Hell, Earth and New Jersery to get theirs back, by hook or by crook or by court order.
Man, if that’s the secret to good fast food pizza, we’ve gotta get Jonathan Pizzahut III and his daughter together.
I’m not going there. No friggin’ way!
What’s grosser than having sex with your daughter? Having sex with Mackenzie Phillips
In other book release news, I heard that Miley Cyrus has stopped the release of her new book due to a nervous breakdown of her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
