Usmagazine.com quoted Mackenzie, 49, as saying on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" this week that the improper relationship ended when she had an abortion because she didn't know who had impregnated her.Click Here For The Full Story......

NEW YORK -- "I am sharing my truth," says Mackenzie Phillips, "in the hope that it helps other incest survivors." But just how true is her new book, "High on Arrival"? In this explosive new memoir, she defends her father, the Mamas and the Papas leader John Phillips, as a good man while claiming they had an incestuous affair that, over time, became consensual. Two of her stepmothers, including Mamas and Papas singer Michelle Phillips, say she is lying and just trying to cash in with her book. ... Phillips, 49, who as a teen starred on TV's "One Day at a Time," claims the sexual relationship lasted a decade and ended when she became pregnant and didn't know who had fathered the child. She had an abortion, and her father paid for it.
