Chynna Phillips Facts
- Chynna struggled with both drug and alcohol addiction in her teenage years.
- She began her career in the entertainment industry as an actress, appearing in movies such as Some Kind of Wonderful (1987), Caddyshack II (1988), and Say Anything… (1989). In the late 1980s, she also acted in a few TV movies. Thereafter, as her music career began to blossom, she hardly made any acting appearances.
- In September 2009, Mackenzie Phillips, her half-sister, alleged in her memoir that she, Mackenzie, and John Phillips, their father, were involved in a consensual and inc**tuous relationship for about 10 years (it allegedly began in 1979 when Mackenzie was just 19 years old). Although Geneviève WaĂŻte (John’s wife at that time) and Michelle Phillips (Chynna’s mother) both publicly stated that they did not believe these claims, Chynna told the media that she believed Mackenzie.
- In late 2011, she participated in the 13th season of Dancing with the Stars, the American version of the competitive dance-based British reality TV franchise Strictly Come Dancing. She finished in 9th place in a field of 12 contestants.
- In February 2010, Chynna underwent treatment for anxiety.
