Bijou Phillips Says ‘I Have’ Forcibly Kissed a Woman in Resurfaced Interview

Amid her divorce from convicted rapist Danny Masterson, Bijou Phillips' turbulent upbringing in the spotlight is coming into focus.

In a recently resurfaced interview from The Howard Stern Show, Phillips nonchalantly admitted to forcibly kissing women while playing a round of "True or False" in promotion of her 2000 Playboy cover.

Although she denied forcing a girl to kiss her during a shoot for Spin (she appeared in the magazine in 1998), Phillips said "I have [forced a girl to kiss me] but not at a Spin photo shoot."

When asked earlier in the interview with Stern whether she once "raped a girl at a bar with a dildo," Phillips said, "True."

"I don't know, Twiggy [a nickname for her mother Geneviève Waïte] had this dildo, and it's this chick from Spin... I didn't really stick it in or anything, I was just pretending," explained Phillips. "And she was pretending to like it."

The Messenger has reached out to Phillips' attorney for comment.

Also during the interview, Phillips recalled her first sexual experience at age 16 with Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando, who is 13 years her senior.

The daughter of The Mamas & the Papas frontman John Phillips and Waïte, a South African actress and singer, Bijou spent some time in foster care after age 3, before she started modeling and partying in her teen years.

After her husband of 12 years, Masterson, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for two counts of forcible rape, Bijou filed for divorce last week, which her attorney Peter A. Lauzon said was an "unimaginably hard" decision.

"Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter," added Lauzon of the pair's 9-year-old daughter Fianna. "This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family. Mr. Masterson was always present for Ms. Phillips during her most difficult times of her life. Ms. Phillips acknowledges that Mr. Masterson is a wonderful father to their daughter."
