OT - From the "WTF Files..."

Honestly, no matter how you twist and turn and try to justify this story one thing is still fact.... HE IS HER DAD! Either way it's gross, and it should not have happened. They are both twisted in the head and need help. Her dad is a pervert for even entertaining those kinds of thoughts in his mind. She is just as wrong for allowing it, however her dad is obviously not all there. I mean, who has those kinds of thoughts about their own child? Sick, twisted perverts! That's who! UGH.... 

 F' real, for real!

Sorry, don't agree with what your comment about her being  in the wrong.  Like someone just said, the abuse would have started as child.  He may have stopped for a while, but i think if i remember her background correctly, that  was because the mom refused him visitation for a while.  A eighteen year old is still a child & would have had no more of a defense then she would have at eight years old, as he would have allready had her conditioned (both mentally & physically) for the sexual abuse.  She may be saying now it was consensual, but truly it wasn't.

"...She may be saying now it was consensual, but truly it wasn't..."

Right!  No wonder she can't shake the drugs and alcohol IMO.  That's a whoooooole lot to try and ask Dr. Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan, Mr. Johnnie Walker Red to try and suppress for ya.

I purposely did NO****ch that airing of the show. I can't really offer my opinion based on not seeing the show, but  I wonder if her father is still alive? If not, that right there sends a red flag going up for me. I may be wrong for feeling this way, but whether true or not, the window of doubt is always in my mind when the other party cannot offer their side of the story, and then we are talking drugs being involved here so anything goes.
Case and point....the recent escape of the lady who was kidnapped as a child. Had her perpretrator (mr. cukoo clock) not been able to speak then I would've had some doubts, but the visuality of it all offered more clarity for me personally. Now I will DEFINATELY watch her story once she makes her appearance on Oprah which I hear is in the works.

I wonder if her father is still alive?

No.  John Philips died March 18, 2001, as per Wikipedia

If not, that right there sends a red flag going up for me. I may be wrong for feeling this way, but whether true or not, the window of doubt is always in my mind when the other party cannot offer their side of the story, and then we are talking drugs being involved here so anything goes.
 
That's true in most cases but I really can't see how somebody would try and make something like that up in their head.  That's just creepy.

I agree, but lets keep in mind that she IS an Actress, so creativity can loom.

I am not saying that she IS lying, infact I believe her. I will just always have that question of hummm because it is a onesided story as it relates to just Ms. Phillips and her late Father AND the drug history does not help. 

Hey Ayy,

I was disgusted when I heard this story. I believe that this woman wants to be "the victim" and that is why she decided to tell this sick and twisted story. With her being "the victim" she can sell more books. I've meet so many people who always play the victim role and it can be so annoying as hell! I would consider her a victim if she were 8 instead of 18 when it began, but she was an adult that was capable of making reasonable decisions, so instead of a victim, I'm putting this heifer in the NASTY ASS category!

YUCK!

I can understand.  We must be related.

Whoa...  Just disowned you right there, Cuz.  Why in the "hail" would somebody want to say some shizz-nit like that just in order to sell books.  I don't know.  I couldn't do it and I have one the most active imaginations on a person that I know.

But at 18 I don't think a woman would say, "Hmmm, Daddy's kinda hot.  Lemme bag that..."  No.  Even if she acted on something like that in her head then to me she still was a victim cause he should have known better, don't ya think? 

Although it gives me the bubble guts as well, it saddens me more than anything.  Even though this happened a long time ago, i am so sickened by what is happening in the world.  From what I've also seen, at least one of her dad's bandmates knew about it.  The phrase "wrong on so many levels" comes to mind.

I don't think the majority of us really want to delve into the mechanics of this  "relationship".  I'm still sitting here with my mouth gaping open even trying to wrap my mind around it. There is a societal/moral norm that draws a line that we just don't cross. I would have taken that to the counselor, the minister, my support, and the grave.  That's just me.
