Bijou Phillips knew Mackenzie had sex with father
CHICAGO (AP) - September 25, 2009 In a statement read by Oprah Winfrey on her talk show Friday,
Bijou Phillips says she was 13 years old when Mackenzie Phillips
told her about the sexual relationship.
Bijou Phillips is now 29 and says the news was confusing and
scary. She says it was "heartbreaking" to think her family would
leave her alone with her father.
Appearing as a guest on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Friday,
Mackenzie Phillips said their father "had changed his ways as much
as he was able to" and she felt Bijou Phillips was safe.
Mackenzie Phillips says she did go get her sister when she
"felt like she wasn't being watched properly."
