Given that McKenzie Phillips is in 'recovery' this may well be part of

That sounds like something used to entice revelation of juicy, perhaps
even salacious, details to those whose vicarious lives consists of the
content of others'.

Well, very often the secrets we keep are not ours alone, as in this
instance. I don't blame her for publicising it now, she has to live
and that means money and her life has always been pretty public, so
this revelation in a book is, imo, nothing to criticise her for. For
the more ordinary of us, we probably wouldn't write a book and tell
only those in the recovery group(s), many of whom have lived and done
far worse.
