Indeed.

since some of y’all don’t get it :

yoko stalked john.

she’d wait for days outside his home, making both him and his family uncomfortable. she’d send him letters telling him that she’d kill herself if he didn’t support her (if you don’t realize how emotionally abusive this is i pity you ) she forced herself into his life.

she introduced him to heroin. she lied about not knowing who he was before meeting him at her art show and she had already met paul before him.

she manipulated him. she arranged his affair with may so that she would get him back whenever she wanted. she would never tell him about the phone calls of his friends and family. 

she planned to divorce him and everyone working for her knew about it and spoke about it. people working at dakota commented on how unhealthy their relationship was. jack douglas (the producer of double fantasy) said they would record their songs separately because she “drove him crazy in the studio”. she sent him off to bermuda while probably already starting an affair with sam havadtoy and getting back on her drug habits. sam moved in with her shortly after john’s death and they were together for twenty whole years. in an interview he literally describes them as “boyfriend and girlfriend” .she talked about john wanting to go back to england at the time of his death and some of his audio diaries prove how depressed he was (along with the nostalgic songs he recorded at that period).

she made julian buy his own letters and his father’s stuff. she treated him and the rest of the family horribly. literally noone in john’s family or group of friends and coworkers liked her.

she was in a mental institute back in japan. she didn’t get the custody of her own daughter. she is an emotionally abusive and problematic person.

i’m not saying john was a child with no opinion of his own.but she really took advantage of his bad mental health and abandonment issues.

so it really saddens me that she gets to profit off of john’s legacy and managed to exclude everyone.

saying you dislike her for “breaking up the beatles “ is just lazy, since there are many more problems. so what i’m saying is :

did people initially dislike her because of their racism and misogyny? most probably.

does she deserve to be redeemed after her horrible behavior? certainly not.
