New
York
(ANI):
American
actress
Laura
Mackenzie
Phillips
has
gone
back
on
her
earlier
claim
that
her
incestuous
relationship
with
her
father,
John
Phillips,
was
consensual.
Phillips,
50,
who
is
the
daughter
of
the
lead
singer
of
The
Mamas
&
The
Papas,
retracted
her
claim
of
the
relationship
being
consensual
on
the
'Joy
Behar
Show" on
February
2.
“I"d
like
to
reframe
my
word
consensual," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
her
as
saying.
“As
I
was
writing
'High
on
Arrival",
I
thought,
this
word,
it
kept
sitting
wrong
with
me.
But
I
used
it
for
lack
of
a
better
word.
“Since
then,
I"ve
been
schooled
by
thousands
of
incest
survivors
all
across
the
world
that
there
really
is
no
such
thing
as
consensual
incest
due
to
the
inherent
power
a
parent
has
over
a
child.
So,
I
wouldn"t
necessarily
call
it
a
consensual
relationship
at
this
time," she
added.
