Mackenzie Phillips said a lunch break confrontation with producers in 1980 led to invocation of a morals clause in her contract, which resulted in her departure from the television series "One Day at a Time." Phillips did not specify the nature of the confrontation in available reporting. Her exit from the show occurred during its run on CBS.
