Elliot Mintz Reveals Lennon Affair in Book

Elliot Mintz's new book, 'We All Shine On: John, Yoko & Me', recounts a shocking incident involving John Lennon during a 1972 party where he allegedly had loud sex with another woman while his wife, Yoko Ono, and other guests were present. The event took place on election night as Lennon drank heavily in response to the presidential results, leading him to become intimate with a guest in a nearby room. Ono reportedly sat in stunned silence, mortified, as guests awkwardly left the party, only to realize they had to retrieve their coats from the bedroom. Mintz emphasized the embarrassment this caused Ono, who later expressed to him, 'I can forgive him, but I don’t know if I can ever forget what happened.' The book highlights the contrast between Lennon's public persona and his private indiscretions, with Mintz noting that Lennon acknowledged his troubled behavior. This incident adds to the complex narrative of Lennon and Ono's relationship, which lasted 14 years.
