In an interview on HLN's "Joy Behar Show" Tuesday night actress Mackenzie Phillips said that the incestuous relationship with her father, singer John Phillips, was not consensual.

Mackenzie had in a tell-all memoir published last year wrote that she had a long-term incestuous relationship with father John Philips that became consensual.

In Tuesday's interview she said "I'd like to reframe my word consensual, as I was writing the book, 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 was there with Dr. Drew ,her doctor from the VH1 show "Celebrity Rehab" who said:

"The child is trying to make sense of this situation she feels as though the only she can survive it is by saying, 'I'm creating it, I have some power in this, I'm consenting to it',when the fact is, the kind of relationship a parent has with a child makes consent actually impossible."
