While most Americans spent Thanksgiving with family, Mackenzie Phillips had to find other ways to celebrate the holiday.

Two months after the publication of her memoir, “High on Arrival,” revealed the shocking claim that she had a consensual incestuous relationship with her father, late Mamas and Papas musician John Phillips, the actress said she was excluded from her famous family’s holiday gathering.

“I’ve been uninvited to the family Thanksgiving,” the actress said Wednesday on “Access Hollywood.”

The release of Phillips’ book, and her participation in the various media appearances that followed, is said to have caused a rift within the family.

“I can’t make them come back,” she said. “They have to come back on their own.”

Among those most upset at Phillips is her stepmother, Michelle Phillips, who has previously voiced support for her former husband, saying the incest accusations “should have been made while John was alive.”

“It’s just so strange that she thinks that I should have done it while he was alive,” Phillips said. “If I did, I’m sure she would have said I should have waited until he was dead. There’s never a right time for this family to hear this kind of stuff.”

Another family member who has turned her back on Phillips is half-sister Bijou Phillips.

“I have made attempts [to talk to Bijou]. She just says, ‘I want nothing to do with you,’ ” claimed Phillips.

But the actress says she can still count on half-sister Chynna, who was apparently upset Phillips wasn’t able to be at Thanksgiving with the family.

Despite getting the cold shoulder on turkey day, Phillips said she doesn’t hold hard feelings.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” she said. “I love Michelle.”

Mackenzie Phillips will reveal tomorrow on Oprah that her father, Mamas and Papas founder John Phillips, raped her, Gossip Cop has learned. The interview coincides with the release of her memoir, “High on Arrival.” Already it’s been revealed in promos for tomorrow’s program that her father introduced the “One Day at a Time” star to drugs. She recalls, “My father shot me up for the first time.” She also discusses Mick Jagger’s attempt to seduce her and other long-held secrets.

But the most stunning revelation is that John had sex with a drugged-out 19-year-old Mackenzie as she faded in and out of consciousness on the eve of her wedding to Jeff Sessler in 1979. According to a leaked copy of the book, when she later confronted him about it, she said, “We have to talk about how you raped me,” to which he responded, “You mean when we made love?” The two had a long-term incestuous relationship, the memoir reveals.

“My father showed up, determined to stop [the wedding,]” Phillips writes. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed.”

“He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father,” she explains.

“Had this happened before? I didn’t know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it. For a moment I was in my body, in that horrible truth, and then I slid back into a blackout,” Phillips adds.

The sexual relationship eventually became consensual. “One night Dad said, ‘We could just run away to a country where no one would look down on us. There are countries where this is an accepted practice. Maybe Fiji.’

“He was completely delusional. No, I thought, we’re going to hell for this.”

Earlier this afternoon Oprah tweeted, “Interviewed One Day at a Time’s Mackenzie Phillips. Thought I’d heard it all … beyond shocking! We’re airing it Wednesday.”

Dear Lord ….

MacKenzie Phillips has entered rehab, her attorney Blair Berk confirmed Wednesday.

Phillips is seeking treatment following her arrest on Aug. 27 for alleged drug possession at Los Angeles International Airport. She was found “carrying what appeared to be heroin and cocaine in baggies and balloons,” airport police said.

Since then, the former One Day at a Time star has been formally charged with two felonies, for possession of heroin and cocaine, as well as a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized possession of a hypodermic needle or syringe.

If convicted of all charges, Phillips faces three years and eight months in prison for the two felonies, and six months in jail for the misdemeanor, prosecutors said. Phillips’s arraignment is set for Oct. 3.

The actress, 48, has long struggled with drug addiction – making multiple trips to rehab – stemming back to her youth while starring on the ’70s sitcom.
