Beatles leader John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono are one of the brightest celebrity couples. However, their great love was not without great turmoil.
Details of perhaps the most infamous incident have been revealed in the new book about John Lennon, We All Shine: John, Yoko and Me. Author Elliot Mintz, a longtime friend of the musician and his wife Yoko Ono, said Lennon had sex with another woman in the middle of a party in 1972.
Mintz said Lennon and Ono were with friends on the night of the 1972 presidential election. The voting results did not suit Lennon. He got angry, drank too much alcohol, and was suddenly secluded with a random guest in the room next to everyone else. Because of the thin walls, everyone quickly learned this. “Throughout all this, Yoko sat on the couch in stunned, hurt silence while the other guests began to awkwardly get up and leave until they realized their coats were in the same bedroom,” the author wrote.
In an interview with People, Elliott Mintz said that Ono later spoke candidly to him about the incident. “I can forgive him, but I don’t know if I can forget what happened,” he recalled Ono saying.
Yoko Ono is now 91 years old. She and Lennon were together for 14 years. We wrote more about their incredible love story and difficult relationship here.
