Chynna Phillips is opening up about a difficult conversation she had with her father.
The actress and singer shared details about her 1995 wedding night with Billy Baldwin in a Youtube video with her friend, Dr. Robyn Westbrook, on Valentine’s Day. Phillips said her father, John Phillips, of The Mamas and The Papas fame, “surprised” her with an “intense” talk.
“We talked about things that were quite momentous. And a lot of things had come to the surface and my father had a lot of feelings. And of course, that made me have a lot of feelings,” Chynna Phillips said on her YouTube channel “California Preachin’.” “I remember being up all night crying and also numb.”
Chynna Phillips said she cried and then appeared stoic during the conversation, but she did not specify the details of their father-daughter conversation.
Chynna Phillips’ half-sister, Mackenzie Phillips, recounted her incestuous relationship with her father in her 2009 memoir “High on Arrival.”
“I remember I didn’t get much sleep the night before and I also had a lot of adrenaline running through my system because of the information, but at the same time it was one of the most valuable conversations I’ve ever had. “With my dad, and it was definitely, bar none, the most honest conversation I’d ever had with my dad,” Chynna Phillips recalled.
The Wilson Phillips singer said she thought her father told her the information because he “felt like he needed to unburden himself.”
“I think his conscious awareness was playing with him and telling him, you know, you’re going to be in this sacred place with your daughter, who you barely know, and you’re going to walk her down the aisle and in front of 300 people and hand her over to her husband, and I think that he felt guilty,” Chynna Phillips said.
The mother of three and Baldwin share three children, daughters Jameson and Brooke and son, Vance, who has publicly battled cancer.

“Dad was something else,” Mackenzie Phillips responded. “And I get a lot of criticism and a lot of trolling online for having forgiveness in my heart. Forgiveness, because forgiving is for me, not for the other person. And forgiving doesn’t mean that I sign or agree with what I’m doing.” . forgiving him for.”
