Murry Wilson
Father to three of the Beach Boys and manager of the band, Wilson certainly didn't inspire good vibrations in anyone. His parenting style allegedly consisted of forcing eldest son Brian to shit on a newspaper in front of the family as punishment and removing his glass eye to torture the children with it. Manipulative in his business dealings with the band, he clashed with Brian over their musical direction and was later fired. Against his sons' wishes, he then sold their publishing company for a fraction of its worth. Smile!

John Phillips
After finding success with The Mamas & the Papas in the late '60s, and fathering daughters Chynna (of Wilson Phillips fame), Mackenzie, and Bjiou with three different wives, John Phillips turned his attention to cocaine and heroin in the '70s. Convicted of drug trafficking in 1981, he admitted abusing drugs "almost every 15 minutes for two years." In the book Hollywood, Interrupted, Mackenzie relates how her father taught her to roll a joint at 10 and injected her with liquid cocaine at 17. He also allowed family friend Mick Jagger to shag her at 18, which might have been his only charitable act.
