‘Mortified’ Yoko Ono overheard John Lennon’s ‘loud, raucous sex’ with another woman while they were married

'Mortified' Yoko Ono overheard John Lennon's 'loud, raucous sex' with another woman while they were married

As I delve into the fascinating life stories of iconic figures, I find myself captivated by the tumultuous journey of Yoko Ono and John Lennon. Their love story, as depicted in Pang’s 2023 documentary, The Lost Weekend: A Love Story, is a testament to the power of unexpected encounters that can transform lives.


At a gathering, John Lennon reportedly engaged in boisterous, passionate lovemaking with a woman, an incident that was supposedly heard by his spouse, Yoko Ono, as detailed in a recently published memoir.

According to Elliot Mint, a close friend of the famous duo, the event was detailed in his recently published memoir titled “We All Shine On: John, Yoko, and Me.” This book became available for purchase on Tuesday.

In the midst of everything, Yoko remained seated on the couch, shocked and embarrassed into a heavy quietness, as other attendees started to awkwardly stand up and depart – unaware that their coats were in the bedroom where John was engaged in intimate activities. This is how a media consultant, aged 79, described the scene.

He put her in an extremely awkward situation, making love in another room with thin walls, while she was at a small gathering and could clearly hear their intimacy, as shared by Mintz during his interview with People on Tuesday.

He noted that Yoko, a Japanese artist aged 91, is remarkably composed, but any interference could lead to significant repercussions.

According to Mintz, the event took place during a party in New York City while they were observing the 1972 presidential election results between Richard Nixon and George McGovern.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share this intriguing tale: Following a bout of intoxication and despair over the prospect of Nixon’s election win, it’s said that the legendary Beatle found himself in the company of a mysterious lady.

Mintz stated that one result of Yoko was that Lennon ended up sleeping on the sofa that particular evening.

Later on, it’s said that she expressed to Mintz that she might find it in her heart to forgive Lennon for his unfaithfulness, yet she was uncertain if she could completely erase the memory from her mind.

He also claimed she said she didn’t know ‘if it will ever be the same.’ 

In time, I came to understand that John wasn’t always the creative type I thought he was, and he would often tell me, “Ellie,” which was his nickname for me, ‘I’m not constantly the ‘Dreamer,” according to Mintz in an interview with People.

It was not the first time Lennon would have extramarital relations.

He also had an affair with their assistant, May Pang, for about 18 months.

In her 2023 documentary titled “The Lost Weekend: A Love Story,” Pang stated that initially, Ono had given her approval for their relationship, but she hadn’t foreseen it would develop into a prolonged affair.

Yoko entered my office and mentioned, “Things aren’t going well between John and me. I suggest you spend some time with him instead.

Yoko hadn’t anticipated that it would blossom into such a profound romance. She believed it would last only a fortnight and then disappear from her life.

The well-known story is that the relationship between Ono and Lennon was said to be the reason behind the disbandment of The Beatles; however, both parties have refuted this claim.

In March of 1969, Lennon and Ono tied the knot. This unstoppable pair remained united until Lennon tragically met his end in December 1980, when he was fatally shot at age 40 by a disturbed admirer named Mark David Chapman.

The pair welcomed son Sean Ono Lennon, now 49, in 1975.

In addition to this, John Lennon, who is now 61 years old, had a son named Julian Lennon in the year 1963. This child was born during his marriage to Cynthia Lennon, a union that lasted from 1962 until 1968.

Simultaneously, Yoko Ono has a daughter named Kyoko Ono Cox, who is 61 years old, with her second former spouse, filmmaker Anthony Cox.

In 1956, she tied the knot with Toshi Ichiyanagi, a renowned Japanese avant-garde musician who specializes in composition and piano playing.

In another part of the text, their former trustee penned down that they harbored an unwholesome fixation on physical appearance and were overly focused on maintaining a slim figure.

‘John kept a journal where each day he would write what his weight was.’

Yoko and John constantly wondered about this topic, assuming everyone in Hollywood was slender due to some secret diet solution. They firmly believed that a magical weight loss pill existed and asked me to procure it for them.

Initially, Mintz encountered the renowned duo when he worked as a broadcaster in Los Angeles, during which time he had the opportunity to interview Ono, aged 91, regarding her 1971 album titled “Fly.

His book is now available in stores.
