Here I am, innocently checking out the headlines at Huffington Post, when I am assaulted by the news that Mackenzie Phillips<\/strong> slept with her father, John Phillips<\/strong>. \u00a0 Eoow, god, why do we have to know this<\/a>?! \u00a0 I will never be able to enjoy “California Dreaming” again.<\/p>\n

If you don’t know who John Phillips is, you’re probably not going to give a shit about this. Unless you pretend it’s Miley Cyrus<\/strong> admitting to an affair with her dad. Which she won’t do, even though it’s obvious<\/a> they are lovers.<\/p>\n

Mackenzie is 49 years old now, and she’s already talked quite a bit about her struggles with drug addiction. I’m sure she had a screwed up life, but why must she go public about having sex with her father? I’m thinking that if I experienced incest, it would be good to tell a therapist, but what moves a person to notify the entire world?<\/p>\n

Maybe I just can’t bear to think that this stuff goes on. \u00a0 Am I being mean to Mackenzie? Do you want to know which celebrities slept with their parents or their kids? Except for Miley and Billy Ray, I am so not into it!<\/p>\n

If you’re a “name” and you plan to write a confessional memoir, this has certainly raised the bar. Perhaps that’s the silver lining: famous people might consider leaving us alone now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
