New Book Reveals John Lennon's Infidelity Heard by Yoko Ono at 1972 Party

Elliot Mintz's memoir uncovers a pivotal moment in Lennon and Ono's marriage during a tumultuous election night gathering.

Elliot Mintz's memoir, 'We All Shine On: John, Yoko & Me,' details an incident where John Lennon had a loud sexual encounter with another woman at a 1972 party, which Yoko Ono overheard.
The incident occurred during a party hosted by activist Jerry Rubin on the night of Richard Nixon's election victory, leading to a shift in Lennon and Ono's relationship.
Mintz describes the event as placing Ono in an embarrassing position and notes that while she could forgive Lennon, she was unsure if she could forget the incident.
Lennon's actions at the party contrasted with his public persona, but Mintz argues that his imperfections made him relatable and real.
The book also touches on Lennon's later life, including his 'Lost Weekend' and eventual reconciliation with Ono before his murder in 1980.
