I'm not so sure I buy that she's really dealt with all this horror- she's still describing her rapist father as "full of love". She needs a lot of help.

If it gives courage to one abused chid either to come forward or to not feel ashamed, then go Mackenzie.

I admit, I was rolling my eyes at the "31-year-old secret" and yet another drug-addled memoir.... but J.H.C. that she is alive in any form, drugged or not, is amazing. I'd have probably killed myself, unable to handle it.

I don't believe the story. She says that he rapes her until she consents. Which one is it? Then her plea to not demonize her father. Its kind of hard for people with any sort of moral compass to not demonize a man who rapes his own daughter. If she was trying to do anything but make money, she would have come out with the allegation(s) years ago. She's pretty much co-signing his tendencies by not coming forward with information. Either she has been involved in some serious mind programming hijinks (i.e. Satan worship scare of the 80's) or she's making up lurid details that cannot be substantiated.

@bens: How do you know she would have come clean years ago if this were true. I think most people who this has happened to NEVER come clean. I don't know if she's telling the truth or not, but it's pretty brave to come forward. She's sick in the head, he father was very sick in the head.

@PamBeesley: She comes clean on Howard Stern? People do all sorts of degrading things to get attention. She's too old to be flashing her privates at paparazzi, so she's making up stories.

@bens: Yes, god forbid she not deal with this in a way you find acceptable. Tell me what is the correct timeframe and forum to deal with sexual abuse by a parent? For some of us this pretty much explains her lifetime pursuit of self-destruction.

While not all drug addicts have been abused, a huge percentage of incest victims of incest become addicts. Over the course of three years working with incest survivors, I never came across a single one who didn't suffer from some sort of addiction and/or eating disorder. Not a single one.

@kdubya: Absolutely. It's also amazing how many women in the sex trade are survivors of incest. I think in six years we saw one woman who wasn't either disabled or an incest survivor, or both.

But did his wife at the time, Genevieve Waite (Bijou's mother) know?? If so, she's just as guilty.

@Swordfish: I doubt she knew it, but even if she did there's no way, absolutely no way, she's "just as guilty". The perpetrator is the number one guilty party, and nobody else comes close.

@ArdelisDeeson: Don't agree. And neither do the courts, which is why accomplices go to jail too. How would she be any different than the knowing wife of the sicko kidnapper/rapist in northern California?
Women ALWAYS know when their man is with another woman. The question is whether they consciously choose to acknowledge it or not.

@Swordfish: Always? Really?

That woman willfully helped her husband kidnap and molest a child. Mackenzie was an adult woman, not living in her mother's home. Even if her mother suspected he was having a relationship with someone else, that does not mean she should automatically "know" it was her daughter. That's like saying, if my husband went out and beat someone up, I'm equally responsible.

@Swordfish: Mackenzie was apparently 19 when all of this went down, and just about to marry someone. I'm not sure the stepmother would fall under the umbrella of "accomplice" when the victim is financially independent, adult, and married. Not to mention chock full o'drugs.

Nothing is more fun than watching your liberal minds snap at the truth of what your childhood memories couldn't understand.

Yeah, fuck your icons. Fuck your memories. Fuck what you thought made you enlightened about what is right and wrong.

Maybe now you will be ready to join the Illuminati movement that stresses the here and now. The reality of life rather than the fantasy of what you glorified.

We have brought to your faces the things you never wanted to know. The reality you never wanted to confront.

We, those who have already confronted the truth, ask only that reality be your guiding force.

Do not let the myths and fables (even those you have constructed) betray the truth. We are ready to emerge once again and let actual truth and actual history guide us as we move forward in taking back society from its slow decline into fantasy and lies.

Enjoy the restoration of the truth.

The suggestion in the excerpt here is that he raped her. He was sick and reprehensible if it is true. If it isn't true, she is sick and reprehensible. Either way, let's hope this woman finds sanity and peace.

Sadly- "Love one another" was not just a lyrical mantra of ideals in the 60's for some.

Knowing what I know, seeing what I have seen and being where I was as an innocent little girl, I am not surprised, nor do I think the night before the wedding was the first time her father creeped into bed with Mackenzie.

You would be amazed at how easy it is for a little girl to black out episodes of her life for the preservation of the soul.

@lil red: This is far from the first such story I've heard from people who grew up in that era. Not that anything like this happened to me, but as the child of hippies myself, and as someone who grew up around hippies, I can attest to the sometimes slippery personal boundaries of hippies. For some people, the permissive ideology of the time was just a cover for far more base impulses.

@lionel-mandrake: I grew up among the hippies too, and I saw everything that could be seen by the time I was four b/c the free love thing dictated that sex was beautiful and not to be hidden or something. even at the time it skeeved me out, and yeah, I could see that attitude + drugs + the narcissism inherent to the whole "do your own thing" ideology leading to shit like this.

Effing horrific. FWIW, I never—never—felt comfortable with the "Mamas & the Papas" when I was a kid or as an adult. Now, more validation of the creepiness that came from them.

Good lord.
