Her videos describe a lonely childhood with her divorced mom and absent dad, early substance abuse and a sometimes volatile (but loving) marriage to Baldwin, with whom she shares three kids, including Vance, a son who (successfully) battled stage 4 cancer. The number of subscribers to “California Preachin'” has quadrupled in less than a year.
She films many of them inside her home, on the winding roads outside or at the beach. “One Reason,” a Christian pop album with Vaughan Penn, bombed anyway, she said, selling “about four copies.” She plans to sell the extra 5,000 copies of the record that she has stored in her backyard shed along with other “California Preachin'” merchandise like hoodies once she gets her website up.Ĭhynna now focuses on her “faith-filled” channel she launched last year, which consists of shockingly candid observations about her life and mental health. “My record company at the time told me that if I didn’t go on ‘Oprah’ with Mackenzie, they wouldn’t promote my album.” (From left to right) Denny Doherty, Mama Cass Elliott, Michelle Phillips and John Phillips of the legendary ’60s band the Mamas and the Papas. “I believed her because who in their right mind would say something like that about your father?” Chynna said.Īlthough Chynna’s belief is genuine, it became “a little bit political,” she recalled. Mackenzie said three years ago that many in the family still shun her. Her mother voiced doubts and Chynna told The Post she still isn’t sure if Michelle believes the incest happened. She was one of the few people in her family back then who stood by Mackenzie. “I shut down emotionally,” Chynna said at the time. Her half-sister Mackenzie Phillips’ memoir “ High on Arrival” came out the same day as Chynna’s album and detailed Mackenzie’s claims of a 10-year consensual sexual relationship with their father. In 2009, when she appeared on “Good Morning America” to promote her first album in five years, the interview was hijacked by more sensational news. We all have issues.”Ĭhynna wrote “Hold On” when she was struggling with early sobriety and a bad breakup - and a year before she met her now-husband. Holding on is how she’s navigated a tumultuous life as a Hollywood baby who’s often in the eye of the media storm. Who’s going to throw the first stone at my sweet sister-in-law? She’s a good woman and you know none of us are perfect. “I was born in a fishbowl, and this kind of stuff has been happening around me since 1968.”Īnd in a video posted Wednesday, she elaborated: “I feel terrible. “My family has been through this before,” added Chynna, 52. “I’ve been texting Alec the whole time to make sure he’s OK and if he needs anything.” “This is probably an awkward and embarrassing time for Alec and Hilaria,” Billy Baldwin told The Post in a FaceTime interview with Chynna from their Santa Barbara, Calif., home Tuesday. Her real name is Hillary and she was born in Boston, yet she once acted like she didn’t know the English word for “cucumber” on live television. Hilaria, it turns out, had spent years faking a Spanish identity. On Tuesday, an interview to talk about her new, Christian-themed YouTube series, “California Preachin’,” took place the same day that Baldwin’s sister-in-law, Hilaria Baldwin, appeared on the front page of The Post. The latest was hurled at her just this week. The emotional song became a personal anthem for Chynna - the daughter of Michelle Phillips and John Phillips of the legendary ’60s band the Mamas and the Papas, and wife of actor Billy Baldwin - who has been thrown curve balls all her life. It’s no coincidence that Chynna Phillips, born into music royalty, wrote the smash hit “Hold On” for her girl group Wilson Phillips in 1990.
