In a shocking revelation, Mackenzie Phillips, the daughter of Mamas and Papas singer John Phillips, has accused her father of forcing her into an incestuous affair.
This accusation is just the tip of the iceberg for the s**-obsessed band, as Mackenzie's claims involve Mick Jagger as well.
During the late 1970s, the luxurious Beaux Arts apartment building in New York City overlooking Central Park was frequented by beautiful models and groupies.
Mick Jagger and his supermodel lover, Jerry Hall, made one of the lower floor suites their Manhattan home.
When Jerry was away on photo shoots, Mick would hand-pick the most beautiful girls in the city to take her place in his bed.
One evening in January 1978, when Jerry was working in South America, Mick attended a party in the building with his old friend, John Phillips, the ex-leader of The Mamas and The Papas.
Accompanying John was his teenage daughter, Mackenzie.
As the night progressed, Mick, John, and Mackenzie decided to go to Mick's apartment to make a tuna salad sandwich.
However, when they realized they were out of mayonnaise, John left to find some, unknowingly leaving his daughter alone with Mick.
By the time John returned a few minutes later, Mick had locked the bedroom door and was already in bed with Mackenzie.
Mackenzie recalls the night vividly in her controversial memoirs, revealing that they had s** in Jerry Hall's bed while her father was knocking on the door, demanding to see his daughter.
This revelation has shocked fans who idolized John Phillips as one of the founding fathers of the hippy “Flower Power” movement.
Two of John's ex-wives, including Michelle Gilliam, a member of The Mamas and The Papas, have labeled Mackenzie as a fantasist.
However, Mackenzie's half-sister, singer Chynna Phillips, believes her claims.
Regardless of the truth behind Mackenzie's allegations, her revelations shed light on the dark side of drugs and s**ual decadence that existed within the Sixties' hippy movement.
The story of The Mamas and The Papas, once hailed as “The American Beatles,” is a tale of drug addiction, s**ual experimentation, wasted talent, and the untimely deaths of three of the group's original members.
John Phillips, the chief songwriter and creative genius behind the group, led a life filled with excess and infidelity.
He cheated on his wife, Michelle, with actress Mia Farrow while she was married to Frank Sinatra.
Phillips even purchased weapons to protect himself from Sinatra's mafia connections.
Rumors also suggest he had a close relationship with Princess Margaret, visiting her private Caribbean island and sneaking into her quarters at Kensington Palace.
The group's personal lives were plagued by feuds, drug abuse, and complicated relationships.
Mama Cass Elliot, who was secretly in love with Denny Doherty, proposed to him, but he was too drugged up to remember.
Cass later died from a heart attack in London, debunking the myth of her choking on a ham sandwich.
In the mid-1970s, John Phillips, now addicted to heroin, reunited with his children, Jeffrey and Mackenzie.
Unfortunately, his Los Angeles mansion was no place for impressionable youngsters.
Mackenzie recalls how her father taught her to roll a joint when she was just ten years old.
Mackenzie's book, High On Arrival, details her descent into addiction, claiming her father injected her with drugs at seventeen.
She alleges that her father raped her on the eve of her wedding and that they engaged in a “consensual” s**ual relationship for several years while battling their addictions.
With John Phillips no longer alive to defend himself, and his bandmate Denny Doherty having passed away as well, the truth may never be fully known.
These scandalous revelations have already tarnished the reputation of a true icon of the Sixties.
