Mindy McCready, Mackenzie Phillips inset Access HollywoodAccess Hollywood
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- There has been plenty of fallout from Mackenzie Phillips' shocking revelations last week that she had a decade-long sexual relationship with her father. And for the first time, her "Celebrity Rehab" roommate, Mindy McCready, opens up to Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson, revealing what Mackenzie told her about the "One Day At A Time" star's dark family secret.
"Did she ever tell you about what happened with her father?" Shaun asked in Access' exclusive interview with the country star, who will appear on the next installment of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab," which begins airing in January 2010.

"During the taping she so kindly and graciously let me read the book. I was the only one that read it," Mindy said. "Just knowing her, how I knew her from the show, it was really touching. The book? Just woah!"
Never doubting Mackenzie's shocking confession that she had a 10-year sexual relationship with her father, John Phillips, an emotional Mindy revealed that while taping VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" in June, a Phillips family feud was already brewing.

"During 'Celebrity Rehab,' the family was finding out that she was going to discuss these things and of course, you know, no one wanted her to discuss them," Mindy said.
The Phillips family is split on whether to believe Mackenzie. Half-sister Chynna does while Mackenzie's former stepmother, Michelle Phillips, does not.
And unleashing stinging words of contempt on Twitter, Mackenzie's other half-sister, Bijou Phillips, wrote, "When I was young my sister told me about this, It ruined my life and my relationship with my father."

She added, "Exploiting the history of our family and the death of our father John Phillips for the release of a book is disgusting."
On Tuesday afternoon, Bijou's Twitter account had been deleted and the posts removed.
But Mindy stands up for Mackenzie's right to speak out.
"Nobody has the right to say what they do or don't believe," Mindy told Shaun. "Dealing with a 30-year long drug addiction problem doesn't just encompass the drug, 'cause there's a reason why she went to that in the first place."
"Since the book came out, has she said to you that she regrets going public, because she's been under so much scrutiny?" Shaun asked.
"No, she has not said that and she better not say that. In order for you to be better you have to get real with yourself and with your friends and family members. No matter how hard it is and no matter how difficult the subject matter the truth has to come out," Mindy said.

AutumnThis book is about (Hopefully) getting the word out there. Do you honestly believe she is the first person to have have sexual relationship (consented or not) with someone in their family? It does happen and people don't want to talk about it b/c it's "gross." If her book stops one more person from being abused, then it is worth it. She needs to heal and help othreport abuseposted September 30, 2009 3:05 PM PDT

SealIf these things did happen, what's the purpose of writing a book and going public for all the world to know. Money will make some people stoop to very low levels. I do not feel sorry for this woman. Being raped is a tragedy. However, any grown woman who consents to insestual sex for 1o years, then announces it to the world later on is SICK,SICK,SICK!!! I feel sorry for her family!report abuseposted September 30, 2009 2:51 PM PDT

keepingitrealI totally believe Mackenzie and it explains alot about her drug abuse and where life has taken her. The big thing to take away from this was it would not have happened in the first place most likely if she and her father were not doing drugs. I am not blaming her at all for what happened and she did nothing to bring this on herself. Bijou needs to be a grown up and support her sister. Period.report abuseposted September 30, 2009 2:47 PM PDT

wildanimaloverBijou needs to get a grip on reality and support her sister.Insestual relationships are more common than people think. I know two women who had sex with their fathers from age 8.One had sex at 21 with her father and was married. I know of a man who was raped since age 8 by his father. After the sex was done at 16, the father turned the son onto drugs. This crap DOES happen and screws people up.report abuseposted September 30, 2009 1:57 AM PDT
