Culture: It’s a (kinda screwed up) Phillips family reunion on Oprah
- I was praying for her the whole time because it is a very, very taboo [topic]. Many people were repulsed, many people were horrified at the allegations. … She had the courage to come out and talk about it, and I’m proud of my sister.
- Chynna Phillips (a.k.a. the “Phillips” of Wilson Phillips) • Regarding her sister Mackenzie’s incest revelation on Oprah. The original episode was such a cluster(#&^@ that they had to bring Mackenzie back (as well as Chynna) on to discuss her utterly bizarre relationship with “Papa” John Phillips, who Allmusic.com states “may easily be called one of the best pop songwriters of the later 20th century.” Because, well, if you’re gonna drag a dead guy’s name in the ground, you might as well emphasize that he once had a storied reputation. • source
