The thing was that Valerie<\/strong> didn\u2019t have the kind of addiction that I had; she didn\u2019t have addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd, you know, so we would do coke together in the dressing room and stuff,\u201d she said. \u201cI just happened to be the one that got caught. And thank God I got caught, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mackenzie<\/strong> has spoken candidly over the years about her battle with substance abuse and addiction. During her time on One Day at a Time<\/em>, those struggles reportedly led to her being fired from the series twice, first after the fifth season and again during the ninth and final season.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, singer Lola Young<\/strong> also spoke out about battling a cocaine addiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n Posted To:Mackenzie Phillips<\/a> One Day at a Time<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
