She revealed eight years ago that she had a long-term incestuous relationship with her father.
And now Mackenzie Phillips, 57, is opening up about the long-lasting impact the bombshell revelation has had on her family.
In excerpts from Phillips' new book, Hopeful Healing: Essays on Managing Recovery and Surviving Addiction, the actress reveals some of her family members still blame her for the abuse.
One relative even dis-invited her from a birthday party, as Phillips' explained: 'Another family member was angered that I might attend, and I was told she was just not willing to forgive me yet.
'She wouldn’t forgive me! For abuses perpetrated against me as a child, or for exposing those abuses perhaps,' she writes.
Phillips exposed the secret in 2009 in her first book High on Arrival, revealing that her father, singer John Phillips, raped her at age 19 while they were under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
In her book, she claims their first encounter was on the night before her wedding.
She said that he injected her with a dose of heroin and cocaine, known as a speedball.
The duo then began a consensual incestuous relationship which lasted around 10 years.
The relationship ended abruptly in 1989 when she fell pregnant and was not sure if the child belonged to her father or her husband.
John Philips paid for the abortion and Mackenzie claims she never let him touch her again.
