In September 2009, Phillips's memoir "High on Arrival" was released, after which she appeared on TV's The Oprah Winfrey Show for an hour-long interview.
She told Winfrey that she first tried cocaine when she was 11 years old, and that her father had taken drugs with her, and had also injected her with cocaine.
During the interview, Phillips read excerpts from her book. She said that at the age of 19, on the night before her first wedding in 1979, "I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father", and that when she confronted her father months later, asking why he had raped her, her father simply replied, "Raped you? Don't you mean we made love?"
Phillips told Oprah Winfrey of having a "consensual" sexual relationship with her father,
describing her participation as "sort of Stockholm syndrome, where you begin to love your captor."
However, she has also described the initial incident as a rape, and has said, "No matter what kind
of incest, it is an abuse of power ... a betrayal of trust." ...

...The incest ended after Phillips became pregnant and subsequently had an abortion for which her father paid.
Geneviève Waïte, who was John's wife at the time MacKenzie claimed the incest first began, denies the allegations, saying they were inconsistent with his character. Michelle Phillips, John's second wife, also stated that she had "every reason to believe [Mackenzie's account is] untrue." However, Chynna Phillips, Mackenzie's half-sister and Michelle Phillips' daughter, stated that she believed Mackenzie's claims and that Mackenzie first told her about the relationship during a phone conversation in 1997, approximately 11 years after the supposed relationship had ended. Jessica Woods, daughter of Denny Doherty, said that her father had told her that he knew "the awful truth," and that he was "horrified at what John had done."
