A untalented avant-garde "artist", who was simply a manipulative, exhibitionist. She road on Lennon's coat tails, and has made a career of being a toxic wife and widow. She did much to keep John from his first son, Julian, and promoted her son Sean. She kept many of John's personal possessions from Julian out of pure spite.
She did such a thing to Julian ?oh my.Oh maybe that's why i read recently that John's fave aunt Mimi called Yoko the 'Poisonous dwarf' ,'the evil dwarf" or smth.
Yoko most certainly did know who John was when he went into the Indica Art Gallery. Monks who were living in caves in Tibet knew who John Lennon and the Beatles were. Yoko will always be a lying, evil toxic b**ch. I feel so sorry for Sean. When he was younger Yoko would always go on his tours with him. One evening John and Cynthia were seated in their psychedelic Rolls Royce when out of nowhere Yoko climbs into the car. John and Cynthia just stared at each other at Yoko's audacity. Then after she broke up John, Cynthia, and Julian's family, John used to visit with Cynthia and Julian. During one of these visits someone frantically interrupted John's visit by telling him that Yoko took a huge amount of pills. John rushed from his visit with Julian and Cynthia to Yoko. She was a manipulative B**CH and PARASITE - BLOODSUCKER.
Literally every woman on the planet knew exactly who he was. Your comment reeks of sexism, because it basically implies that Yoko forced John into a relationship…..like he was forced to fall head over heels in love with her. 😂
Meghan didn't know who Harry was when she met him... And Yoko didn't know who Johm was...!😂😂 All these over ambitious, good diggers and publicity hounds mouth the same words!
Yoko was the home wrecker back in the day lol. Its too bad she didnt help John be a father to Julian. Instead he searched all over for her daughter & basically didn’t want Julian. Watch Julians video, its heartbreaking. Julian got almost nothing from John Lennon or his estate after his death. And that was all Yoko Ono’s doing. She’s not a great person at all. Actually Julian is buying John Lennon stuff back that Yoko sold. And John Lennon failed as a father to his first born son which is really sad.
@@DippyHippie Personal business that Lennon’s own Son was willing to openly talk about which is why people are discussing it. Just because people are attracted to one another doesn’t mean it’s NOT a toxic relationship. Lennon cheated on her anyway, one specific time at a party & actually had the gall to go upstairs w/some broad. Ono was the same way, even marrying when she was still legally married to another.
Wow … the hypocrisy ! " Donated funds to children who’s parents have alienated them “. Should have used the more appropriate word “Abandoned” … just like your Husband did to his first child to take up with You ! Not to mention making the kid buy his own personal affects back from his father’s estate. Shameful !
John Lennon was not crazy He was a sweet loving man and the reason that he married Yoko is because she is also a lovely lady I ask that you respect John and Yoko
@@angiethebeatlesgirl228! All I ever needed to know was that my beautiful John loved Yoko! I’m just about her age & I know John would have walked through fire for his Yoko! Why are people so mean?😢
@@DippyHippie People aren’t mean. First of all, she shouldn’t have been in the marital domain of Lennon where Ono was wearing the robe of John’s Wife. Being out of love with your spouse is one thing but you don’t disrespect the marital domain. She also screwed Julian by not just giving Lennon’s personal belongings to him. He had to buy them back at auction. McCartney even bought a few items in order to give them to Julian like the letters written between Julian & his Father being John Lennon. Love is blind & that’s what Lennon was-blind.
@@twistedgamer9167 He gained more aside from his musician earnings & other endeavors as things were settled out of court between him & Ono & not disclosed because she had Lennon’s personal belongings & other items in auction where Julian had to buy them back. Ono could have just given him his Father’s belongings but she did not. McCartney even bought back some of the items of Lennon’s & gave them to Julian such as correspondence/letters written between Julian & his Father. Who does that unless you’re one of those untrusting gold diggers.
John says he only married Cynthia because she got pregnant, He once said his son from that union came out of the end of a whiskey bottle. Not nice. Yoko was not a homewrecker, he did not love the first wife very much evidently, It happens.
Typical statement from someone being love bombed by someone with NPD -- narcissistic personality disorder. Like Amber Heard, they convince you they're just like you in every way, they basically ARE you. It's a sickness.
She did not share that large wrath with Julian, John Lennon’s first son. Julian is John’s responsibility. When you have so much and do so little for a created responsibility it is greed. It would not harm you to share. It seems that John Lennon and Ono’s son Sean has shared some of his wealth with Julian. Paul McCartney has said he does not blame Yoko Ono Lennon for the break-up but blames himself and a greedy manager, who wanted to own the rights to lyrics, music and recordings of the Beatles , so the time had come that the Beatles had to break-up. It was Yoko’s reaction to Julian after John Lennon’s passing that created the negativity. Sean Lennon has done much to ease Yoko’s reputation. Everyone seems to be friendly now and more in line with John Lennon’s lyrics anis imagine video with Yoko Ono. They are giving “Peace a chance”, so everyone can and new biographies,hopefully will reflect the current outlook.
I didn't love John or Yoko. I never knew either one. I liked Johns music but that's about it. John and Yoko were both sad parents to their firstborn. Very selfish human beings. Showering your 2nd born with love and affection in no way makes up for what you did to your first child. I know people revere them but they are and we're just normal people with plenty of faults. John had talent as a songwriter but I never saw any talent Yoko had. Screaming into a mike doesn't constitute talent !
John was "The Fool" on the hill! Lennon's been dead now for almost 41 years and this wench has been auctioning off his possessions and buying property with ONO Lennon's money! This heartless sociopathic pariah put Julian Lennon through 16 YEARS of litigation fighting for his right to The Fool's estate! Julian never did get the amount he sued for. These two peace lovers, John and Yoko, announced to the press on October 25,1968 that Ono was PREGNANT and that the baby would be born sometime in February, 1969 while still being married to Cynthia Powell! Talk about evil! Cynthia's divorce from John was finalized on November 8,1968. John left Cynthia and son Julian a paltry anount of money! I'll bet anyone that Yoko, the sociopath, advised "The Fool" during divorce negotiations! On November 21,1968, Yoko Ono suffered a miscarriage! Bad "Instant Karma" I believe. John and Yoko defiantly named the deceased baby John Ono Lennon II when there wasn't a John Ono Lennon I. John's legal name in 1968 was John Winston Lennon. Quote by JOHN CHARLES JULIAN LENNON ~ " Dad was a hypocrite. He could talk about peace and love to the world, but he could never show it to his wife and son." Please go to Google and enter ~ "HACKARD LAW ~ IMAGINE DISINHERITANCE" and read what those two disgusting pariahs, John and Yoko, did to Julian Lennon. I've gotten rid of all my John Lennon solo CDs and all post Yoko Ono Beatles recordings featuring John.
@@raulmacias1311 You realise she managed record labels has more Number 1 hits than popstars today and is still living in the same apartment and between houses where john and her lived for years?
I’m watching the Beatles docu and it’s amazing. Highly recommend it. However watching Yoko is like watching the girl crawl out of the well in Ring. I don’t get it but if she made him happy not my call. The Beatles though…amazing
Be thankful they met. Lennon was at a very low point in his life. He sang, "I even hate my rock n roll". White Album. He was also taking Heroin. As far as he was concerned he never had a reason to carry on living. Enter Yoko Ono and hey presto!! He now does have a reason. If she hadn't come into his life we may have lost him in the 60s. Plus, she donated his childhood home as a museum. Yoko isn't a bad woman. Not at all.
@@wanderer1955 - I don’t know if she’s a good person or a bad one and neither do you. What I do know is that I never signed up for her, while John was alive and certainly after. I encourage you to watch the RU-vid video “Yoko Sings The Star Spangled Banner” and tell me if the world is a better place WITH Yoko...or, WITHOUT.
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 "listen to Yoko singing the star spangled banner". Err, I'll pass on that ( thanks) I try not to listen to Yoko singing anything.
@@wanderer1955 - I encourage you to listen to her “sing” this one. I can think pf nothing better to serve as confirmation that Yoko Ono is fantastically horrible!
Ok, folks. Im a true blue Beatle fan. Yoko didnt break the band up. Of course, it didnt help matters. However, Paul kinda took over johns roll in a since and was really demanding to a degree. The Beatles were burn out qnd they wanted to go solo. Ringo loved the band and would continued playing with them. Ringo just wanted to be wanted with the other 3. But we all know, life changes. People change. They knew they were famous. Life goes on.
I’m a Beatles fan, too, who lived through and remembers the era well. If you watch some of the videos of Yoko at the Beatles recording sessions, in Understanding Lennon and McCartney (available on RU-vid), you will soon realize that she had to be a hugely aggravating factor on the nerves of a group that was already wearying. She began to sit in on ALL the sessions, right by John’s side. There are clips of the four Beatles discussing song arrangements where YOKO GIVES HER OPINION UNSOLICITED (!), like she’s a member of the band. She felt perfectly entitled to give the most successful band on the planet the “wisdom” of her “knowledge”. The other three listen politely, then continue their discussion as if she hadn’t said anything. There’s a session where the Beatles are practicing a song with Yoko repeatedly shrilly screaming JOHN! JOHN! JOHN! JOHN! loudly in the background through the whole song. It’s quite grating to hear. Paul, George, and Ringo just ignore her as if she were an I’ll-mannered child whose parent they didn’t want to offend, but it had to be immensely irritating. She put up posters saying “I love John” on the studio’s bulletin board and constantly professed her live like a giddy pre-teen. She was constantly at John’s elbow, participating in discussions, and knitting in the background while they recorded. John ate it all up, like it was balm to his ego. Everyone used to think John was the dominant personality in the Beatles, but in reality he had the most fragile psyche. Even Yoko once said in an interview that John was obsessed with Paul (seemed to need his approval). Yoko seemed to know how to tap into John’s emotional neediness the way Meghan Markle and others of their ilk know how to manipulate and dominate powerful men. (Unbelievably, this video claims Yoko didn’t know who John Lennon was-complete BS, because Yoko initially contacted PAUL MCCARTNEY for an original music sheet for a charity on behalf of which she was contacting celebrities, and Yoko moved on to John Lennon only after Paul said no. The idea that an artist in that era would not know who John Lennon was is as laughable as Meghan Markle claiming not to know anything about Prince Harry.) Yes, eventually Paul started to bring Linda to the sessions, but that was after putting up with Yoko for a while and also had to be extremely irritating to George and Ringo. Ringo took off for a while and then came back. George was chomping at the bit to do his own compositions. Yes, the Beatles probably eventually would have split up anyway, but watching the videos of Yoko at the recording sessions, it’s pretty obvious that Yoko was a huge factor for sooner rather than later. Paul has always denied that she was the cause-probably out of gallantry-saying that John had the right to have the woman he loved by his side-probably because Linda started to be constantly by his side and later was in Wings-but anyone who watches Yoko’s obnoxious and disruptive behavior at the recording sessions would marvel that the other three Beatles didn’t insist she be banned from the sessions. The most obvious explanation is that they didn’t want to precipitate John leaving the band if he had to choose between the band and Yoko. Which would indicate that they didn’t want the band to break up quite yet and thus put up with her until all the stressors became unbearable. Yoko was not the only cause, but she definitely looked like a prime factor for the situation becoming intolerable.
@@crapple009Living the rest of her life as “John Lennon’s Widow.” Nobody would pay any attention to her except for her connection to John Lennon. What I find revealing is that Yoko continued to live at the Dakota, continually exiting and entering past the very entrance where her husband was shot. Obviously the constant reminder was not overwhelmingly painful in the first months. Also, she only agreed to have a baby if JOHN would commit to taking care of it-which he did on hiatus from his career for 5 years. Yoko doesn’t seem to be a woman with conventionally deep emotional bonds.
@@wildflowerred6323 If all you've written is true then it is John who broke up the Beatles, not Yoko. After watching "Get Back" I'm left with the conclusion that her presence in those sessions is less intrusive than we've been led to believe for the last 50 years. Sure, John being totally smitten for her changed the dynamics of the foursome. People change as they mature and that seems to be what happened with the Beatles. Who knows what they would have become had they stayed together? Maybe much greater than the sum of their solo efforts, or maybe much less. We'll never know.
@@wildflowerred6323 The group’s demise was coming to a head for many reasons & she was just one of the reasons. The heroin use of John & Yoko during this time frame didn’t help matters either. It’s been reported in many a source that Ono introduced Lennon to heroin. In as much as the other Beatles experimented as many did in the Hippie days, that was one drug they wouldn’t touch & were very concerned about Lennon using it. Lennon was not in control of himself & didn’t put his foot down when it appeared he should have as he was subservient to Ono. Very strange relationship.
She’s been in a wheelchair for a long time but has not disclosed her health problems. Some thought it was an act for sympathy but she is pushing 90 now.
A singer!, dah?! She does not have the voice! She stole John from Cynthia and Julian - a home wrecker she is! She even gave John temporarily to May Pang! What a sicko! Sean should know the truth! Sorry but I can't comment anything good for this person. If not for her, John should be alive enjoying life with Cynthia & Julian in the UK, not in NYC where he was gunned down. She also should give half of John's money to Julian being the original son from the first wife. These are my personal outlook of her.
Yoko. From the bottom of my heart 💓. I knew you and John loved each other. A love like yours and John’s is never easy but long lasting . We all make mistakes and we all ‘ Shine on ‘ too . “Keep Shining “ on . Thanks
The person that made it hard for Julian to know his Dad was stupid Cynthia Powell so I ask you people to please stop hating on John and Yoko You guys are awful because you are hating on people who did so much good for humanity and for the world
John had an Oedipus complex and was really affected when his mother got hit by a car and died. This is why he was so attached to Yoko. Yoko probably knew this too. She exploited John for his money.
Well I feel sorry for you because Yoko is an amazing woman John was a kind and loving Man who deserved A good woman and that is why he fell in love with her She is not only loving and caring but she also gave John A beautiful son named Sean I Love and respect the three of them If there’s somebody that I will never respect that person is Cynthia Powell It was her who would not let John see Julian She never loved John and she was so jealous of him because he was happy with Yoko She even went as far as manipulating Julian by telling him that John never cared for him when it was her who would never pass him the calls I could go on about her but all I will say is that Cynthia Powell was The real evil wich
She is smart and she inspired him she wrote many of his songs which he took credit songs like imagine also she has a unique look that is why he fall in love with her.
You have to be weird to like her music but there are a lot of weirdos today. John fell for her so that tells you something. At the time John was on heroin and was really nuts.
Imagine being so ignorant that you believe that having an accent means you haven’t learn the lenguaje 🤦 she speaks it perfect she just has an accent. That would be like me saying southerners can’t speak English properly just because they have an accent. I would sound stupid as hell
So glad to see Yoko back & in markedly better health. She deserves it after all her dedication to work to challenge & heal society. She saved John's life, got him off smack & made him happy while she challenged him to grow. They gave the world Sean. She has suffered so greatly but she is much loved by people who are able to accept her as a remarkable artist & philosopher. Hope to see her again soon.
She was the one who got him on smack in the first place as well as developing a smack habit herself during John's house-husband years in the late 70's. Just saying...
Yeah, Yoko really damaged her career by running off with Lennon. She was a complete nobody before she met John and returned to being a nobody after he was gone.
I don't what anyone thinks about as we as neither does she. She was somewhat famous before meeting John. I still admire her to this day. The narrator failed to as a Ten year old her family was in Tokyo when both bombs fell, they lost everything and somehow rebuilt their lives.
What is there to admire? She could’ve helped John be a father to his firstborn son Julian. She gave him almost nothing as a child growing up and from John’s estate after he died. She kept it all for herself and her son. She was a homewrecker. What is so great about sleeping with another woman’s husband and having that woman come home and catch you in bed with her husband. There is really nothing respectable about her at all.
For all that hardship she lacks down to earthness & shows apathy towards many things like not just giving Lennon’s Son Julian his Father’s belongings instead of sending them to auction.
I like Yoko better than most. I enjoy weird. If you listen to her music, she has some really good songs even if you don’t like the sound of her voice. John always had unusual ideas, listen to his lyrics during The Beatles years. They were certainly a power couple during the day. Both politically and artistically.
Usually not a person to comment on the other comments but the hate yoko ono gets seems unfair to me. I mean I don't know her and im sure like everybody she has her good and bad points ..if she owns loads of mansions and sports cars I find that kind of gross haha but then Im a big socialist. BUT from what I've heard John lennon wasnt a great guy and he cheated on her and was violent so if anything he was the one who was lucky to have her and not the other way round. Also for what its worth I think she has some very good music, been listening to her lately which is why I found this video wanting to know how she was doing.
I agree with you about the fact that people hating on Yoko is very unfair and I also enjoy her music However what I did not like about your comment is when you say that John was a bad person because that is a big lie John Lennon was a kind and loving person so I ask you to please stop trashing him because he was and will always be an angel as well as Yoko and there son Sean
She will never have normal perceptions of life because she's always lived in privilege. It's hard to know how to take her one way or the other. I think she was the mother image that John Lennon always needed because of losing his mother at such a young age maybe that was the attraction. And "mother" was one of John's nicknames for her.
@@sylviaelizabethclarecholic2073 He underwent Primeval therapy but it was all overwhelming for Lennon as he supposedly was off the heroin at that time but went back. He had no qualms about keeping his feeling repressed as he conveyed those in his solo work but he just had too much going on. I think that Primeval therapy was at Ono’s request but with the drug problems & Lennon still attempting to be creative music wise & everything else in his life, it was all too much.
Childhood trauma work is self work and very, very painful. That work is life work for me, I have found. Primal therapy doesn't work. I've studied it. It lived and died with one leader. Ono got JL on heroine, and she had to know of the extravagantly copies amounts of LSD he was taking. Using LSD and heroine and alcohol to numb oneself is overwhelming.
