Did John Lennon ever cheat on his wife?

Answer 1

If you mean Cynthia,yes.Constantly.The Beatles song 'Norweigian Wood(This Bird Has Flown)' was John trying to tell Cynthia without telling her face to face.When she was on a holiday(I think,well,she was somewhere far from the band!),John invited a,I think a Japanese flower arranger,Yoko Ono.

Eventually,the two became inseperatable.I have a feeling when Cynthia found out about Yoko and,if ever,the other affairs,she would/was MAAD!

Later John &Yoko married.They had two kids,Julian(the song 'Hey Jude'was for him by Paul & John about John & Cynthia divorcing.),from John's marrige to Cynthia,and a new son named Sean (pronounced Sh-aw-n).

Later John & Yoko made new bands,John's solo band and The Plastic Ono band.

It wasn't made clear that John and Cynthia had Julian, I think.

Also, in John's first interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he stated that he and the other Beatles took part in an orgy in Sweden in 1963. Various biographers have claimed that the Beatles never missed an opportunity to bed down with women while on tour. They often had their roadies, Mal Evans and/or Neil Aspinall, do their pimping for them - this according to John himself, in an interview on the Tomorrow show with Tom Snyder.MP

Answer 2

David Sheff raised the subject of John Lennon's great personal wealth and egalitarian ideals in a 1980 interview with Lennon and Yoko Ono for Playboy. Excerpts follow.

PLAYBOY: On the subject of your own wealth, the New York Post recently said you admitted to being worth over $150,000,000 and----

LENNON: We never admitted anything.

PLAYBOY: The Post said you had.

LENNON: What the Post says -- OK, so we are rich; so what?

PLAYBOY: The question is, How does that jibe with your political philosophies? You're supposed to be socialists, aren't you?

LENNON: In England, there are only two things to be, basically: You are either for the labor movement or for the capitalist movement. Either you become a right-wing Archie Bunker if you are in the class I am in, or you become an instinctive socialist, which I was. That meant I think people should get their false teeth and their health looked after, all the rest of it. But apart from that, I worked for money and I wanted to be rich. So what the hell -- if that's a paradox, then I'm a socialist. But I am not anything. What I used to be is guilty about money. That's why I lost it, either by giving it away or by allowing myself to be screwed by so-called managers.

PLAYBOY: Whatever your politics, you've played the capitalist game very well, parlaying your Beatles royalties into real estate, livestock----

ONO: There is no denying that we are still living in the capitalist world. I think that in order to survive and to change the world, you have to take care of yourself first. You have to survive yourself. I used to say to myself, I am the only socialist living here. [Laughs] I don't have a penny. It is all John's, so I'm clean. But I was using his money and I had to face that hypocrisy. I used to think that money was obscene, that the artists didn't have to think about money. But to change society, there are two ways to go: through violence or the power of money within the system. A lot of people in the Sixties went underground and were involved in bombings and other violence. But that is not the way, definitely not for me. So to change the system -- even if you are going to become a mayor or something -- you need money.
...

PLAYBOY: Why does anyone need $150,000,000? Couldn't you be perfectly content with $100,000,000? Or $1,000,000?

LENNON: What would you suggest I do? Give everything away and walk the streets? The Buddhist says, "Get rid of the possessions of the mind." Walking away from all the money would not accomplish that. It's like the Beatles. I couldn't walk away from the Beatles. That's one possession that's still tagging along, right? If I walk away from one house or 400 houses, I'm not gonna escape it.

Answer 3

I would say he definitely was not. It's very evident in the content of many of his songs including "Power to the People", and "Happy Xmas". But he also made an appearance on a tv show (which can be seen in the documentary The US. vs. John Lennon) where he introduced co-founder of the Black Panther Party, Bobby Seale (a Black man), as his friend.
