Michelle Phillips: “Mackenzie Has A Lot Of Mental Illness”

Somehow we knew this story just wouldn’t die.

Michelle Phillips doesn’t believe her step-daughter Mackenzie’s “consensual incest” allegations. The former Mamas and Papas singer is pissed at Mackenzie – and Oprah! (Oprah? That’s like taking on the FBI!) Phillips released the following statement:

“John was a bad parent, and a drug addict. But f**king his daughter? If she thinks it’s true, why isn’t she with a good psychiatrist on a couch? I think it’s unconscionable that Oprah would let her do her show. I have every reason to believe it’s untrue. Oprah should be more judicious about who she has on her show.”

“Mackenzie has a lot of mental illness. She’s had a needle stuck up her arm for 35 years. She was arrested for heroin and coke just recently. She did ‘Celebrity Rehab’ and now she writes a book. The whole thing is timed.”

“Mackenzie is jealous of her siblings, who have accomplished a lot and did not become drug addicts.”

And Mackenzie’s response? The troubled actress told Meredith Viera on the Today show this morning:

“I love Michelle and I wish I had [my family’s] support, but I don’t. My heart goes out to them.”

“These things can destroy a person and I think they may be slowly eating away at the fabric of our country and I certainly am an example of both sides of it and I hope to continue to be of service.”

Stay strong Mackenzie!
