Mackenzie’s memoir High on Arrival was released in September 2009, after which she appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show for an hour-long interview. She told Winfrey that she first tried cocaine when she was 11 years old, and that her father had taken drugs with her, and had also injected her with cocaine.
Mackenzie during the interview she read excerpts from her book. She said that at the age of 19, on the night before her first wedding, “I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father”, and that when she confronted her father months later, asking why he had raped her, her father simply replied, “Raped you? Don’t you mean we made love?”
Mackenzie told Oprah Winfrey of having a consensual sexual relationship with her father, describing her participation as “sort of Stockholm Syndrome, where you begin to love your captor.”
John’s wife Geneviève Waïte, at the time MacKenzie claimed the incest first started, denies the allegations, saying they were inconsistent with his character. , John’s second wife Michelle Phillips , also stated that she had “every reason to believe [Mackenzie’s account is] untrue.”
However, Chynna Phillips, Mackenzie’s half-sister and Michelle Phillips’ daughter, stated that she believed Mackenzie’s claims and that Mackenzie first told her about the relationship during a phone conversation in 1997, approximately 11 years after the supposed relationship had ended.
