YOKO ONO DRUGGED BEATLE JOHN LENNON

Yoko Ono drugged Beatle icon John Lennon during his attempts to give up smoking according to the late Beatle’s ex-girlfriend May Pang.The star dated former assistant Pang for 18 months from 1974 to 75, but returned to his wife Ono following the brief fling. And Pang insists Ono’s methods of helping Lennon to stop smoking were unconventional, she made him drink the cure, which made him physically sick and made him sleep excessively. She says, “He wasn’t ready to go back. It wasn’t as clear cut as, ‘I’m going to leave you and go home.’ He went over there for this method she had to quit smoking. He was going to come back. He said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll be gone for a couple of hours. I’ll be back, we’ll go for dinner.’ He was gone all weekend. I couldn’t get through to him there. Every time I called, Yoko said, ‘He’s sleeping, he’s sleeping.’ “When I saw him on Monday, something wasn’t right. Something had gone on.When I asked him, he said, ‘I drank this tea Yoko gave me and I threw up.’ I could see a whole different person. But I only knew what he was telling me. Did he think he was being drugged? If he did, he wasn’t telling me. He wouldn’t say much. I let it go. Maybe it’s my naivety.” Pang, 57, is currently promoting a book of rare Lennon photographs, Instamatic Karma.

Editors Note: John Lennon should have stayed with May Pang. I never liked Yoko the many times I have met her and I adore May Pang. Such a difference…
