Because Elliot and mustache... fawned over John and Yoko...they both are bullshite. I read Fred's book it's honest and I liked it. I never liked Elliot, or mustache..fucking annoying people.. Fred is right, John had 2 sides, the outside John was what Elliot saw and what Geraldo saw. Its like this for everyone not just famous people,so this interview seems like an interrogation more than an interview.
Elliott is a snake. They are trying to plant doubt that Fred even knew John well. Yoko is a master manipulator. Geraldo should have been more objective. But Yoko has him in her pocket. No one is saying John didn’t love Yoko. The point is that Yoko tired of John but she did need him to be revenant. My two cents.
I read Fred Seaman's book and it seemed to me to be an honest and caring account of John's final year. I know someone very close within the Lennon camp and they told me that the real John is in Fred's book. Yoko's made Fred's life hell since this book came out.
@johnnytheg, everything you have said is true. Yoko turned on Fred Seaman, a very decent and good man, because he attempted to tell people the truth. She made his life hell, this is true, but a hell that doesn't begin to compare to the hell that John's life became. John was literally in great inner pain in the last years of his life. Yoko is a very powerful witch.
@@tjcint Fred is a thief and opportunist with an axe to grind, particularly against Yoko. If John was unhappy he would have said so, sang so. He always was up front with his true feelings and thoughts.
@@MeanMrMayo John had been taken over by powerful occult energy. He had been captured, blinded and overpowered on a spiritual level. Yoko is a powerful witch.
@@MeanMrMayo What do you know about occult energy ? If you are like most people the answer will be very little if anything at all. Therefore would it not be better to keep an open mind ? To be humble, to recognize your limitations ?
Again, the only one who cashed in on John's life,was Yoko. She cremated John,and that is not what he wanted . She made Julian buy what belonged,to him legally from his own father.. Shame on her . Good thing Julian had a forgiving soul. She wouldn't allow John to even contact Julian. Didn't like her then,still don't like her now. She destroyed John's life.
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 Yes she'll have bought some good press through arts org donations and ad purchases, but I think most real people in the know will be singing, "ding dong ... " She was one nasty piece of work, the blight and barnacle of John's life.
Elliot Mintz seems to have played a role of a publicist more than someone who could be forthright about the idiosyncrasies of what he calls his "friends" in the industry. I once caught him claim that his pal David Cassidy would never say anything negative about his fanbase and I proceeded to share with Elliot an interview where David said some very unflattering comments.
I read that Mintz had an affair with Yoko. It was mentioned in a biography I read about John. I can’t remember the authors name, only that he knew John and Yoko very well and was a good writer. The book was just called Lennon. It was quite a comprehensive account of John’s life. The author said that John wasn’t a recluse and loved spending his time with Sean.
Yoko not only caused trouble for John, she caused trouble for the Beatles, Julian, Cynthia, John's family, May Pang etc etc. And the most trouble she caused was in the minds of the public who had to watch her intrusion into their beloved band and had to listen as she corrupted the beauty of songs and performances with her non lyrical screeching and esoteric dramatizations which were an attempt to draw attention to herself. This supposed "artist" never seemed able to communicate with the public and just used John to get the attention fix she needed as she could never derive that kind of popularity herself.
Yes, well said. She robbed the world of beauty and superimposed her own ugly attention seeking behavior, taking off her clothes and screeching. Interesting how the minute she landed Lennon and finally had the funds you do whatever she wanted, she dropped her "art" like a hot potato to try and become a pop star. She shoved Lennon out of the way with May in 1973. She only reeled him back when she failed abysmally. And interesting how when she bought art she went for the expensive stuff, old masters, Egyptian artifacts, stuff to buy and sell and make MONEY off - NOT performance art or conceptual art like she had done with her ridiculously high price tags. You'd think if she really loved that stuff she would support it! This shows it was always all about the money and bratty attention.
@@charwest9449 Meanwhile, Lennon himself was happy with Yoko, loved her, and said "she saved me from a kind of death". But ignore that important tidbit so you can stay aboard the Hate Yoko Bandwagon.
@@charwest9449 He most certainly was much happier with Yoko. Learn your history, listen to John's interviews and lyrics. Also learn that Yoko actually wrote and sang songs in her career... she didn't just "screech" (though of course to acknowledge this would crush your obsessive Yoko Derangement Syndrome hate).
I love the way Joan Rivers interewed Fred Seaman ..she at least was funny about it..Geraldo made himself look real small trying to accuse Fred of lying..to me Fred was honest about everything. He admitted he stole the journals..and did his due diligence...why would Geraldo try and focus on the guys felony
@@christineobrien7707you would be right, I’d recommend reading up on him, he’s equally (if not more so) responsible for taking advantage of Lennon. Seriously, reading the confirmed things Fred seamon did after Lennon’s death is like reading the actions of a cartoon villain. After stealing Lennon’s diaries the man he was partnered up with at the time to write a book about Lennon famously wrote the phrase “Dead Lennons= big $$$” on Lennon’s diary. It’s really f*ed up
John and Yoko are not a myth They had a true love story, and I believe that if John would’ve still been here today, he and Yoko would have still been together, and Sean would have had a little sister Fred Semen is a big liar, and he is telling all these lies because he is upset due to the fact that Yoko found out that he had stolen John’s diaries Thankfully he is no longer allowed to be near the Lennons
She didn't allow his first wife to the funeral and sold his aunts house in about 5 seconds after he died! She was a greedy slob...and what she did screaming on stage with Chuck berry was appauling!!
They are all cashing in on John's legacy. But Elliot Mintz is still on Yoko's payrole. Elliot Mintz also has had negative things about Julian Lennon. It's Elliot Mintz's job to make Yoko look good. Paul, George, Ringo, Cynthia, John's sisters and even Aunt Mimi didn't like Yoko. Why is it that everyone else has a problem with her. She did everything she could to create a distance from John and eveyone who was close to him.
I believe Seaman. Although he stole Lennons diary, I do think he is telling the truth about John's unhappiness. May Pangs account is similar regarding John's unhappiness. Yoko had ultimate control, relinquished, foolishly by John. Elliot Mintz is a very smooth, controlled PR man for them both.
Fred Seaman didn't take Lennon's diary with bad intentions. John Lennon wanted his firstborn son Julian to have his diaries, and Yoko prevented Julian from obtaining them, because she didn't want to acknowledge Julian as John's firstborn child, and has said as much by calling Julian a "mistake", and has claimed that Sean is John's "true firstborn", because he was "wanted and planned". Not even over John's dead body would Yoko give Julian personal evidence that John actually did loved him, and fell out of love with Yoko, but stayed with her because he couldn't function as an adult without supervision or personal assistants, and Yoko had a death grip on every aspect of his life. Yoko doesn't want to public to know that her and John's "legendary love" was a facade, a farce, to prop up her failing "art career".
By the way, Fred Seaman's book has been confirmed by several other books, in particular by DAKOTA DAYS: The true story of John, written by John Green. John Green was the tarot reader for John and Yoko and closed friend in the last 5 years of John’s life. The book quotes Yoko extensively and the quotes are based on his taped conversations with her. The book addresses areas of John's and Yoko's lives -- Yoko's outrageous addiction to superstition, Lennon's depression in the mid-to-late 1970s, etc. -- that Lennon worshippers don't want anyone to know about. In fact, Dakota Days is a very good and extremely readable book which fully exposes Yoko's craziness, some of the problems that plagued the Lennons' marriage, and the creative impotence that tormented Lennon in the late 1970s.
@@barbaraaraujo7700 That's very interesting Barbara, thank you. It seems with John Green, Fred Seaman and May Pang, a clear picture of the REAL Yoko ono can be drawn. Oh John....you are in the best place now.
I don't trust anyone who refers to themselves in the third person, which Mintz does. Mintz is a carpet bagger attaching himself to these 2 icons. Fred comes across, despite his felony conviction, as a genuine person who is telling the turth. Call it a gut feeling. Geraldo is behaving like a de facto publicist here. They're both ganging up on Fred. I met Geraldo while he was dining at a hotel restaurant where I worked many years ago. He's one of those guys who struts around beaming as if to say 'Thank God I'm a celebrity, aren't I wonderful' and looks around the room trying to get eye contact from people so he can get affirmation of how awesome he is. No one in the room took the bait. Fred, BTW, bears a striking resemblance to John.
Fred Seaman played a role in the history of John's life for 2 years just before John left the public eye forever. May Pang was very close to John at an extremely significant time in his life. Her experiences with John before, during, and after, her time with him are interesting and important. These people are entitled to share their memories. Millions of people believe May Pang's memoirs are true and compelling. Face it... May Pang is far more credible than Yoko could ever be. After all Yoko set John up with May. If that were a lie then Yoko would have sued May for slander or defamation of character. There is a reason why Yoko hasn't sued Fred or May. Because they're telling the truth. So all Yoko can do is pay Elliot Mintz and others to cast dispersions against their character. Because if they were lying Yoko would litigate. These two people wrote books and Yoko won't sue them because she knows that the evidence that would come out in the discovery phase of a trial would not help her or the manufactured John and Yoko mystique. Yoko would have to deal with more than a few former employee's who say the same thing that May Pang and Fred Seaman are saying. Yoko won't touch the truth about herself with a ten foot pole. Hence Elliot Mintz and Jerry {Geraldo} Rivers. If Yoko had a legal leg to stand on then she'd stand on it. For decades she has always had a reputation for being overtly litigious. :-I
2 gunmen shot Lennon. 8-10 bullets (Chapmans gun holds 5). Jose Perdomo was security guard outside (CIA). Perdomo worked with Frank Sturgis (Watergate burglar) for 10 years.

The reason why Fred Seaman took John's journals was out of respect for John's own wishes. Lennon wanted his journals to be given to his older son Julian Lennon in the event that anything happened to him because he knew that Yoko hated Julian and would try to cut him out in multiple ways. Mr. Seaman had to plead guilty to the charge of felony theft because he had no way of proving John's wishes since he was dead. But Fred Seaman is not a thief or a liar - he is actually an honourable man who tried to honour John's wishes even after John's death. Yoko Ono IS an evil and manipulative person. Period.
If he cared for John’s wishes he wouldn’t have published this book. True or not, the John and Yoko magical love story is clearly the image John wanted the world to see.
@@wilhelmhagberg4897 No, thats bullshit. John was just protecting his career and his business. Had he lived he would have eventually left that crazy old hag. He wanted his son to have his journals so that Yoko wouldn't be able to grandstand on his musical legacy. Giving his journals to his son was his way of ensuring the truth came out about Yoko. Unmasking her publicly is exactly what he would have wanted, and Mr. Seaman is a true friend for ensuring that happened. He didn't profit from the book the way people claim he did.
You're just another Yoko Hater suffering from Yoko Derangement Syndrome. You believe Thief Freddie just because he claims John wanted Julian to have those diaries? Funny how John isn't here to confirm or deny.
@@wilhelmhagberg4897 John had become overpowered, blinded and controlled by Yoko. There was no real love. There was a mistress/slave dynamic .. the slave spiritually blinded.
I believe Fred Seaman too. There have been so many negative stories about Yoko and how she affected the Beatles in their last days, how she treated members of John's family (his half sisters, his aunt and uncle who Yoko threw out of their house so she could sell it...and of course Julian.) She has said so many horrible things and has done so many cruel things....there is no way, John was happy in his last days. Geraldo was being a real ass in this interview. While a good journalist would remain neutral and allow the audience to form their own opinion, it was clear from the beginning which side he was on.
@@jv-ep2tc - ohh ok. Thank you! There were several interviews done during this time period that suddenly popped up in my feed. Listening it seems Seaman didn’t move his ‘truths’ around. I did hear an audio from back in 1972 or so with John & Yoko. Just a lot of John complaining about everything & Yoko always adding in her words ‘of being ignored’. Now then, John seemed annoyed of her constantly saying that. I myself never got good vibes off her but then I was more into Zeppelin than the Beatles. It’s like someone else commented about Mintz, he came off as to slick, etc..: Hum.. guess we’ll get another viewpoint 🤷♀️ Have a good evening! Opps- Had misspelled a name..
@@jayannakelley9051 JL famously got impatient with her during the playboy interview they did when double fantasy came out. I recall his words were "will you get down off that cross??" I truly believe that had he lived, they would have separated/divorced. John would have re-established ties with his family in England, reached out more to Julian, possibly toured and over time spoken out on a variety of topics. [the time he did have in the USA should have been more fulfilling and he was housebound only due to YO influence]
@@jv-ep2tc I would have loved to see him get back wth May Pang, and then Julian and eventually reunite with Paul . I think he would have been a much happier man.
I think John was feeling trapped with Yoko and he didn't know what to do near the end of his life. When John first met Yoko she fascinated him, but as the years rolled by John was beginning to feel restless and his relationship with Yoko didn't interest him like it once did. It is sad what happened to John Lennon and it was tragic because he was murdered.
I don’t think John was a one woman man. I think he was chasing Julia, understandable but not attainable. As irrelevant as this may sound the Beatles were really his true love. I know he rags on the whole thing but Paul was his best foil (they both knew it) and George and Ringo were pretty good at it too. The Beatle mania thing sort of ruined it but I think after double fantasy the 4 of them would’ve found a working relationship again and I really think Yoko would’ve been told not to sit in the amp, thank you very much.
Lennon remains frozen-in-time forever. One of the most popular, talented and enduring people of the 20th century, he has now been dead several years longer than he actually lived. And he continues to fascinate, baffle and entertain thru his music and personal life. I think of him often.
Frequently things that were given or loaned out Yoko claimed theft. Almost everytime Yoko was PROVEN WRONG. So who is the lier? When Yoko dies and people are no longer scared let's see the truth come flying out.
I can't stand the rudeness of this man. Though I'd love to hear what these men have to say. Mr. Rivera is insufferable. I can't believe he considers himself a journalist. I can't believe the rest of the world does as well.
John was anorexic when he died, most anorexics feel there life is out of control, so they control their food intake. He was unrecognisable when he was taken into hospital after the assassination, the doctors had no idea who he was. I think John was very unhappy, despite Yoko's spin, I totally believe that John wanted his eldest son, Julian, to inherit his journal. No loving wife, could've sold John's blood soaked shirt & then his blood spattered spectacled, as works of her art. It takes a really cold woman, totally detached from the man & situation to do that. It's alleged that her lover was already waiting to join her in bed, as John's ashes were returned to her.
An excellent comment. John was tortured on a spiritual level by Yoko Ono. She is a very powerful witch. He was incredibly unhappy in the latter part of his life. Yoko is in truth a very, very evil person but it is hidden.
@@romans52345-cy3tq John was so thin & his nose had turned beaky, he looked nothing like the John Lennon we all knew & loved. I'm of his generation & distinctly remember he'd been advised to lose weight, when still with the Beatles, as his was the more manly physique. He was told that he didn't want to become known as the ' fat ' Beatle, because the others still looked like thin, teenaged boys compared to him.This was extremely bad advice, as John wasn't fat, but he took it to heart & was becoming obsessed with his weight, before he ever met Yoko. It's plain for all to see, that he'd become a shadow of his former self & had become gaunt to the point of anorexia ! It's stated that the doctors & nurses just didn't recognise who he was, until Yoko turned up in her long, fur coat calling for him, by which time, John had sadly died. John's facial features weren't masked by blood to any great degree,
Yep. That picture of his blood-stained glasses over-looking Central Park on her album cover and "Walking on Thin Ice"..and, "Yes, I'm a Witch" creepy AF. There's so much more I could mention that's creepy. Hopefully, more will come out about her involvement, probably long after she has passed. She has profited immensely and gone on to live a very long life.
Fred is credible. He said in a previous interview that he took the journals because John wanted him to give them to Julian. Mintz is obviously detracting for his friend, Yoko. And I don't doubt Geraldo was on Yoko's side and brought Fred on his show to humiliate and gang up on him and make him seem illegitimate. Geraldo wants to hear what he wants to hear like always. He is all about getting a juicy story and getting views for ratings, and now maybe likes and shares. Geraldo couldn't wait to get him on the show. You can tell. He's a horrible person. He's taking the word of others as the truth and questioning him as if he was a lawyer questioning a defendant as the prosecutor in some weird trial.
I find it hard to believe that John would leave Julian Lennon out of his will. Julian Lennon sued Yoko Ono and got money when he turned 21. I really think Yoko had something to do with that. The truth, as always lies somewhere in the middle of what Seaman is saying and what Yoko is saying.
And equally as bad, I guess this a guy thing, she sold his guitars at auction and Julian had to search them out and buy the back. I know when my uncle and my father passed away (even my father in law - no sons) I inherited all their tools not my sister. When I heard that I was pissed for him. She’s a dog or at least insensitive to the relationship. Funny thing is I’ll bet it irked her that Julian and Sean are tight!
Yoko put Julian through expensive court for almost two decades -- 16 years! And finally, realizing that she was looking very greedy, offered Julian a paltry undisclosed amount. And he only accepted because he didn't want to waste the next 16 years in court as well.
Julian got his real settlement 16 years later, when he was in his mid thirties, after lengthy court battles. When he was 21 he probably got a few thousand, nothing much.
Even as John Lennon’s wife she was in capable of success of any kind whether it was in the art world, the music world or the literary world. She just had no talent and the only one that thought she did was her husband who she got addicted to heroin and manipulated him so much that he ran off for a year and a half. She should’ve been able to capitalize to some degree on his enormous fame and wealth, but just couldn’t because there aren’t people who are dumb enough to buy that garbage of hers. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had a good laugh listening to those clips of hers. She’s the Pete Best in her chosen field -in capable of producing anything of value, even with the big head start, she got.
John was selling an album. He had a vested interest in keeping the John and Yoko mystique alive. Nobody would buy "Double Fantasy" if John gave an interview telling the truth about his unhappy relationship with Yoko. A lot of what Fred Seaman say's goes along with what many others have said over the years. Yoko did force Julian to purchase a slew of beloved keepsakes that belonged to his father that were meant for Julian. Julian has said that publicly. That he had to pay Yoko a fortune to take possession of property that had already been earmarked for him by his father. Julian said that Yoko even forced him to buy a collection of letters written by both he and John that meant the world to him. Yoko is of the serpents seed. She's always been a horrible "person". You have to do a deep dive into all things Beatles. Especially Cynthia Lennon's memories in regards to how she and John met Yoko. John and Yoko always talked about how they met at an art showing of Yoko's in London. But what they never clued people in on was the so called "art gallery" was actually a $A'TAN IC OCC ULT Bookstore called - The Equinox - that was originally owned by the infamous Aleister Crowley. At the time when John met Yoko it was owned by Paul McCartney. Later on Paul sold the store to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Paul was the reason why Yoko got the gig at The Equinox in the first place. John would speak about Yoko's "avante garde" art in the "gallery" as "Some hammer nail thing" and "a ladder piece with an apple and a positive message written on the ceiling." Yoko's art was not so much "Avante Garde" as it was deeply SAY TAN IC in nature. Neil Aspinall (long time Beatles insider) said in regards to The Fab Four... "The Beatles are incredibly antichrist. I know because I am also antichrist. But they're so antichrist it scares me." Nothing on the surface of accepted Beatles folklore is actually the truth. It's all street theater. When you listen to Cynthia Lennon speaking frankly about when Yoko first appeared in her marriage to John she paints a picture of a man (John) who suddenly wasn't anything at all like the man she married. What Cynthia was talking about wasn't really about how Yoko stole John from her. What Cynthia has alluded to in at least a couple interviews was how Yoko took control of John. If you try to understand how SAY TAN ISM works you would realize that John and The Beatles were into something that destroyed the band, (when there was no further use for the band) then it destroyed John's solo career, and then it destroyed everything else after that. Yoko didn't start controlling John in the last five years of his life after Sean was born. Yoko controlled John the moment he participated in the ladder ritual at The Equinox. When he climb that ladder and took a bite out of that apple Yoko Ono officially became John Lennon's handler. Which was always far more important to Yoko then being John's wife. The truth is something that you have to dig for. The official story is always a con job that is designed to keep the normy multitudes interested in believing and buying. :-I

That seems very questionable… What would the reason be? The relationship gave her all the media attention and riches she could possibly want. Their relationship was allegedly quite ”open” so she could see other men if she wanted too. If she was fed up with John she could just send him away on another ”Lost Weekend”.
I agree. In death John was worth more to a grieving widow. In an interview before, she gave out John’s full itinerary for the day, that made his security headman very upset .
Both Fred Seaman and John Lennon Librans♎ born during the year of The Dragon 🐲. Elliot Mintz is an Aquarius ♒ born during the year of The Rooster 🐓, just as is Yoko Ono. Yep. Yoko had everything planned to a just about perfect T. She should have timed Sean's birthday better because he was born during the year of The Rabbit 🐰 just as was Cynthia and as is Julian Lennon. Fred doesn't have to say a word. He can be silent, his word is Truth.
This is Fred being railroaded. Watch Joan Rivers' interview which also features May Pang as well as the archivist for John. They back up Fred's assessment of Yoko as does the late Cynthia Lennon. Jules is polite when asked on Howard Stern's show about Yoko, but you can tell by his responses that there is little to respect about Yoko. And any man worth his salt would defend the mother of his child in public, so John's behavior when he ran into Geraldo is understandable.
Agreed. He is one sided and accusatory. Not what the profession of Journalism should be. Was never a real fan of Geraldo as he is more of a sensationalist to garner ratings. Thus he never went real far in his career. More second rate.
*This is the truth about Yoko Ono.* Yoko Ono is a powerful witch. She used powerful occult energy, imperceptible to conventional people, to overpower and control John Lennon. The reason why her singing sounds like the wailing of a witch is because she is one. A normal person cannot make this sound, it is impossible. Yoko used to go to witches meetings in New York, driven there by her chauffeur. In Peter Jackson's 'Get Back' she appears to be just quietly sitting in the room, what she is actually doing is training powerful occult energy on John Lennon. A suitably gifted medium, psychic or shaman would be able to perceive this, conventional people would not. The reason why so many dislike her, some intensely, is because they are picking up on what she is. She is very, very with the dark side, or in biblical terms, the satanic side.
I believe it. All her negative energy must have been terribly disturbing to the other 3 Beatles. No wonder there was so much fighting and anxiety when they made their last album.
The truth is in the air. Listen to double fantasy Im losing you! And like most coiples after endless reckless habits have destroyed the marriage one settles for comfort either by money ot business. A big give away was that Sam Havadtoy moved in right away after Johns death and became Yokos boyfriend! That didn’t happen over night I believe Fred is beign genuine! Yoko was way over the marriage and john accepted his sin’s.
That Elliot guy comes out and says he's Yoko's best friend. What more do you need? Of course he's going to try to disprove anything that disparages their relationship. Plus he's being paid. It's annoying the Geraldo is so psyched to shill for Yoko. Because of course she represents a lot of clout for him. Notice how he brings up meeting them on the street as if they were friends. I'm sure John only knew Geraldo and was being polite.
How John let a manipulator like Yoko into his life and whose negligence quite possibly caused his assassination by a wacko. Yoko dismissed their bodyguards concerns for their safety but was constantly shutting down his advice. Why John didnt get a divorce is beyond my comprehension. Women been the downfall of many great men. The way Yoko treated Julian and his inheritance was so wrong.
And, THIS is why Geraldo is off the air. He was no journalist. There is no objectivity, here. He has a VERY CLEAR agenda to suppressing anything critical of someone that he barely knew but admired a great deal based on a casual, passing, professional acquaintance. And, the way he is standing over the guy & pressing into his personal space is beyond unprofessional. The assistant spent every minute of every day with these people in private. I think he knew more about how they lived than Geraldo could dream. And, this oily PR guy is repulsive & reprehensible. "Put his music on the turntable? Listen to his music; look into his eyes; you'll know the truth?" What a load of horseshit!
It's simple. John should had divorced Yoko (and Married May Pang). There is a certain pattern in pop culture. Kurt Cobain wanted to divorce Courtney Love, but died. Chris Cornell should have left his controlling wife, but died. Once money and marriage is involved, things get dangerous.
Of course Mintz will say that- Yoko gave him exclusive access in exchange for positive propaganda. I can’t really blame him tho he’s got a lot to thank her for.
Yoko's uncle Toshikazu Kase was the Japanese Ambassador to the United Nations, which is located in Manhattan. I wonder if that gave her some kind of privilege with police?
I am now 66 but when i was 15 Sometime in New York City lp 1972 came out , on it is the song Angela and th lyrics say Shot down your man" and even then i had a premonition that is how John would die. it is not a thought that is retrospective, i clearly remember thinking this in 1972. i always found the song upsetting because of this, although the middle eight was compelling. I have always though yoko ono an evil person, when Paul MCcartney speaks of her its always a kind of non committal, yes we get on kind of way and i think he is not telling the truth when he says Yoko didnt break up the Beatles, of course she did, George couldnt stand her, at the Get Back sessions she even told George how to play. She should not have been in the studio and the other 3 Beatles should have stood up to her and John saying only us 4 should be here. George was kind of weak coz he never told Paul to stop bossing him on what and how to play. George dd not state in no certain terms his anger to paul and yoko, the nearest i have heard him say is in the old Let it Be film where he says to Paul "Ill play whatever you want me to play, or i wont play at all if you dont want me to" Whatever will please you Ill do it" John i think was controlled by Ono from the time they met in 1966 and her refusal to have guards at Dakota cost John his life, the World his music, humour and humanity.I noticed that whenever john spoke in interviews without her being with him, he seemed like the okd John. open. frank humourous and talking about a possible beatles reunion maybe but when shes with him he seems stilited and withdrawn. what does everyone think bout this discus and reply
Seaman was on-point in defense of his point-of-view regarding his time with Lennon… Mintz is a transparent PR man making facile, weak arguments in defense of HIS point-of-view, both personally-held and paid…
I think there's truth in both Elliot's and Fred's accounts. John and Yoko were complicated people, and so was their relationship. One thing often lost in these discussions is that John was a grown man, and he CHOSE to allow Yoko that level of control over him. He often called her Mother, because that's in essence what he wanted her to be. I wish he'd chosen another path, because this one led to isolation, and perhaps indirectly to his demise.
Fred has to be telling God's honest truth. In another yt video he and other staffers fill in a sordid picture -- among other things they name yoko's boyfriend during the period. Yoko TOLD her asst Ms Pang to get frisky with John -- she didn't "suggest" it!
This is not an interview with Mr. Seaman. It's an interrogation which is carried out by MrNice, the host of the show.
Exactly. Mustache dick is a sycophant..he's on John's dick to this day. So is Elliot 🙄
Geraldo's ego coupled with his arrogance is exasperating.
You said it. Geraldo has always been an egomaniac and here his promotion of Yoko Ono is despicable.
I think we’ve seen in recent times Geraldo is a fair weather friend.
Lennon was NOT a close friend of Geraldo.
Well, he is a lawyer after all. Lol
No talent, metro-sexual queer Geraldo is disgusting. If he wasn't a Jew, he'd be a career clerk jerk, stocking shelves with women's perfume at Macy's.
I believe Fred Seaman is telling the truth.. and was lambasted by both Gerardo, and Elliot Mince.
Seaman is the truth. Geraldo and Mintz are making Yokohama look like a queen
Yoko never looked like a queen to me.
@maccalex Yuck-Obama would be more like it: OOF!..

Because Elliot and mustache... fawned over John and Yoko...they both are bullshite. I read Fred's book it's honest and I liked it.
I never liked Elliot, or mustache..fucking annoying people.. Fred is right, John had 2 sides, the outside John was what Elliot saw and what Geraldo saw. Its like this for everyone not just famous people,so this interview seems like an interrogation more than an interview.
John should've stayed with May Pang.
Elliott is a snake. They are trying to plant doubt that Fred even knew John well. Yoko is a master manipulator. Geraldo should have been more objective. But Yoko has him in her pocket. No one is saying John didn’t love Yoko. The point is that Yoko tired of John but she did need him to be revenant. My two cents.
I read Fred Seaman's book and it seemed to me to be an honest and caring account of John's final year. I know someone very close within the Lennon camp and they told me that the real John is in Fred's book. Yoko's made Fred's life hell since this book came out.
@johnnytheg, everything you have said is true. Yoko turned on Fred Seaman, a very decent and good man, because he attempted to tell people the truth. She made his life hell, this is true, but a hell that doesn't begin to compare to the hell that John's life became. John was literally in great inner pain in the last years of his life. Yoko is a very powerful witch.
@@tjcint Fred is a thief and opportunist with an axe to grind, particularly against Yoko. If John was unhappy he would have said so, sang so. He always was up front with his true feelings and thoughts.
@@MeanMrMayo John had been taken over by powerful occult energy. He had been captured, blinded and overpowered on a spiritual level. Yoko is a powerful witch.

Again, the only one who cashed in on John's life,was Yoko. She cremated John,and that is not what he wanted . She made Julian buy what belonged,to him legally from his own father.. Shame on her . Good thing Julian had a forgiving soul. She wouldn't allow John to even contact Julian. Didn't like her then,still don't like her now. She destroyed John's life.

Good book to wipe asses.
Elliot Mintz seems to have played a role of a publicist more than someone who could be forthright about the idiosyncrasies of what he calls his "friends" in the industry. I once caught him claim that his pal David Cassidy would never say anything negative about his fanbase and I proceeded to share with Elliot an interview where David said some very unflattering comments.
I read that Mintz had an affair with Yoko. It was mentioned in a biography I read about John. I can’t remember the authors name, only that he knew John and Yoko very well and was a good writer. The book was just called Lennon. It was quite a comprehensive account of John’s life. The author said that John wasn’t a recluse and loved spending his time with Sean.
I believe Fred!!!!
@@BrendaHeeligan Pretty sure that Elliot is gay.
Yoko not only caused trouble for John, she caused trouble for the Beatles, Julian, Cynthia, John's family, May Pang etc etc. And the most trouble she caused was in the minds of the public who had to watch her intrusion into their beloved band and had to listen as she corrupted the beauty of songs and performances with her non lyrical screeching and esoteric dramatizations which were an attempt to draw attention to herself. This supposed "artist" never seemed able to communicate with the public and just used John to get the attention fix she needed as she could never derive that kind of popularity herself.
Yes, well said. She robbed the world of beauty and superimposed her own ugly attention seeking behavior, taking off her clothes and screeching. Interesting how the minute she landed Lennon and finally had the funds you do whatever she wanted, she dropped her "art" like a hot potato to try and become a pop star. She shoved Lennon out of the way with May in 1973. She only reeled him back when she failed abysmally.
And interesting how when she bought art she went for the expensive stuff, old masters, Egyptian artifacts, stuff to buy and sell and make MONEY off - NOT performance art or conceptual art like she had done with her ridiculously high price tags. You'd think if she really loved that stuff she would support it!
This shows it was always all about the money and bratty attention.
Fame without the talent - like all of the witless dolts on tik tok etc ad nauseam .

Fred's telling the truth.
He seems a bit shady, but he appears to be more credible than Mr. Mintz. Mintz is snooty & thinks his shit doesn't stink.
@@christineobrien7707you would be right, I’d recommend reading up on him, he’s equally (if not more so) responsible for taking advantage of Lennon. Seriously, reading the confirmed things Fred seamon did after Lennon’s death is like reading the actions of a cartoon villain. After stealing Lennon’s diaries the man he was partnered up with at the time to write a book about Lennon famously wrote the phrase “Dead Lennons= big $$$” on Lennon’s diary. It’s really f*ed up
He may have some theft problems, but other people around Lennon have said the book is true
totally telling truth
It's disgraceful, how that Ono woman treated Julian Lennon.
He was so jealous of his stepmother and half brother.
i believe everything seaman says mintz as always tried to protected the john and yoko myth
John and Yoko are not a myth
They had a true love story, and I believe that if John would’ve still been here today, he and Yoko would have still been together, and Sean would have had a little sister
Fred Semen is a big liar, and he is telling all these lies because he is upset due to the fact that Yoko found out that he had stolen John’s diaries
Thankfully he is no longer allowed to be near the Lennons
Well, since he's Yoko's well-fed pet, one couldn't expect any less

Amen!!!
They are all cashing in on John's legacy. But Elliot Mintz is still on Yoko's payrole. Elliot Mintz also has had negative things about Julian Lennon. It's Elliot Mintz's job to make Yoko look good. Paul, George, Ringo, Cynthia, John's sisters and even Aunt Mimi didn't like Yoko. Why is it that everyone else has a problem with her. She did everything she could to create a distance from John and eveyone who was close to him.
like the classic narcissist that she still is
I believe Seaman. Although he stole Lennons diary, I do think he is telling the truth about John's unhappiness. May Pangs account is similar regarding John's unhappiness. Yoko had ultimate control, relinquished, foolishly by John. Elliot Mintz is a very smooth, controlled PR man for them both.
Fred Seaman didn't take Lennon's diary with bad intentions. John Lennon wanted his firstborn son Julian to have his diaries, and Yoko prevented Julian from obtaining them, because she didn't want to acknowledge Julian as John's firstborn child, and has said as much by calling Julian a "mistake", and has claimed that Sean is John's "true firstborn", because he was "wanted and planned". Not even over John's dead body would Yoko give Julian personal evidence that John actually did loved him, and fell out of love with Yoko, but stayed with her because he couldn't function as an adult without supervision or personal assistants, and Yoko had a death grip on every aspect of his life. Yoko doesn't want to public to know that her and John's "legendary love" was a facade, a farce, to prop up her failing "art career".
By the way, Fred Seaman's book has been confirmed by several other books, in particular by DAKOTA DAYS: The true story of John, written by John Green. John Green was the tarot reader for John and Yoko and closed friend in the last 5 years of John’s life. The book quotes Yoko extensively and the quotes are based on his taped conversations with her. The book addresses areas of John's and Yoko's lives -- Yoko's outrageous addiction to superstition, Lennon's depression in the mid-to-late 1970s, etc. -- that Lennon worshippers don't want anyone to know about. In fact, Dakota Days is a very good and extremely readable book which fully exposes Yoko's craziness, some of the problems that plagued the Lennons' marriage, and the creative impotence that tormented Lennon in the late 1970s.
@@barbaraaraujo7700 That's very interesting Barbara, thank you. It seems with John Green, Fred Seaman and May Pang, a clear picture of the REAL Yoko ono can be drawn. Oh John....you are in the best place now.
I don't trust anyone who refers to themselves in the third person, which Mintz does. Mintz is a carpet bagger attaching himself to these 2 icons. Fred comes across, despite his felony conviction, as a genuine person who is telling the turth. Call it a gut feeling. Geraldo is behaving like a de facto publicist here. They're both ganging up on Fred. I met Geraldo while he was dining at a hotel restaurant where I worked many years ago. He's one of those guys who struts around beaming as if to say 'Thank God I'm a celebrity, aren't I wonderful' and looks around the room trying to get eye contact from people so he can get affirmation of how awesome he is. No one in the room took the bait.
Fred, BTW, bears a striking resemblance to John.
@@timothyd9543 Totally agree.
I believe Fred is telling the truth.
Fred Seaman played a role in the history of John's life for 2 years just before John left the public eye forever. May Pang was very close to John at an extremely significant time in his life. Her experiences with John before, during, and after, her time with him are interesting and important. These people are entitled to share their memories. Millions of people believe May Pang's memoirs are true and compelling. Face it... May Pang is far more credible than Yoko could ever be. After all Yoko set John up with May. If that were a lie then Yoko would have sued May for slander or defamation of character.
There is a reason why Yoko hasn't sued Fred or May. Because they're telling the truth. So all Yoko can do is pay Elliot Mintz and others to cast dispersions against their character. Because if they were lying Yoko would litigate. These two people wrote books and Yoko won't sue them because she knows that the evidence that would come out in the discovery phase of a trial would not help her or the manufactured John and Yoko mystique. Yoko would have to deal with more than a few former employee's who say the same thing that May Pang and Fred Seaman are saying. Yoko won't touch the truth about herself with a ten foot pole. Hence Elliot Mintz and Jerry {Geraldo} Rivers.
If Yoko had a legal leg to stand on then she'd stand on it. For decades she has always had a reputation for being overtly litigious. :-I

Yoko has never given an interview where Mintz doesn't give the interviewers a note first on what questions may and may not be asked.
I’ve seen him in a number of interviews and he always came across as a weasel.
The reason why Fred Seaman took John's journals was out of respect for John's own wishes. Lennon wanted his journals to be given to his older son Julian Lennon in the event that anything happened to him because he knew that Yoko hated Julian and would try to cut him out in multiple ways. Mr. Seaman had to plead guilty to the charge of felony theft because he had no way of proving John's wishes since he was dead. But Fred Seaman is not a thief or a liar - he is actually an honourable man who tried to honour John's wishes even after John's death. Yoko Ono IS an evil and manipulative person. Period.
If he cared for John’s wishes he wouldn’t have published this book. True or not, the John and Yoko magical love story is clearly the image John wanted the world to see.
@@wilhelmhagberg4897 No, thats bullshit. John was just protecting his career and his business. Had he lived he would have eventually left that crazy old hag. He wanted his son to have his journals so that Yoko wouldn't be able to grandstand on his musical legacy. Giving his journals to his son was his way of ensuring the truth came out about Yoko. Unmasking her publicly is exactly what he would have wanted, and Mr. Seaman is a true friend for ensuring that happened. He didn't profit from the book the way people claim he did.
You're just another Yoko Hater suffering from Yoko Derangement Syndrome. You believe Thief Freddie just because he claims John wanted Julian to have those diaries? Funny how John isn't here to confirm or deny.
@thebeingbecoming3596, all you have said is spot on.
@@wilhelmhagberg4897 John had become overpowered, blinded and controlled by Yoko. There was no real love. There was a mistress/slave dynamic .. the slave spiritually blinded.
I believe Fred Seaman too. There have been so many negative stories about Yoko and how she affected the Beatles in their last days, how she treated members of John's family (his half sisters, his aunt and uncle who Yoko threw out of their house so she could sell it...and of course Julian.) She has said so many horrible things and has done so many cruel things....there is no way, John was happy in his last days. Geraldo was being a real ass in this interview. While a good journalist would remain neutral and allow the audience to form their own opinion, it was clear from the beginning which side he was on.
Geraldo was always a buffoon.

Now then, John seemed annoyed of her constantly saying that.

Seaman Seem Telling The Truth
Fred was speaking the truth
I think John was feeling trapped with Yoko and he didn't know what to do near the end of his life. When John first met Yoko she fascinated him, but as the years rolled by John was beginning to feel restless and his relationship with Yoko didn't interest him like it once did. It is sad what happened to John Lennon and it was tragic because he was murdered.
I don’t think John was a one woman man. I think he was chasing Julia, understandable but not attainable.
As irrelevant as this may sound the Beatles were really his true love. I know he rags on the whole thing but Paul was his best foil (they both knew it) and George and Ringo were pretty good at it too. The Beatle mania thing sort of ruined it but I think after double fantasy the 4 of them would’ve found a working relationship again and I really think Yoko would’ve been told not to sit in the amp, thank you very much.

I can't stand the rudeness of this man. Though I'd love to hear what these men have to say. Mr. Rivera is insufferable. I can't believe he considers himself a journalist. I can't believe the rest of the world does as well.
BTW I saw an interview with this guy, another guy and May Pang. May Pang agrees with Fred!
I saw that as well. Joan Rivers was host.
John was anorexic when he died, most anorexics feel there life is out of control, so they control their food intake. He was unrecognisable when he was taken into hospital after the assassination, the doctors had no idea who he was. I think John was very unhappy, despite Yoko's spin, I totally believe that John wanted his eldest son, Julian, to inherit his journal.
No loving wife, could've sold John's blood soaked shirt & then his blood spattered spectacled, as works of her art. It takes a really cold woman, totally detached from the man & situation to do that. It's alleged that her lover was already waiting to join her in bed, as John's ashes were returned to her.
An excellent comment. John was tortured on a spiritual level by Yoko Ono. She is a very powerful witch. He was incredibly unhappy in the latter part of his life. Yoko is in truth a very, very evil person but it is hidden.
Yes, the poor poor widow was fucking Sam Havadtoy right away.
He was unrecognizable because he had just been shot 5 times and was drenched in blood
@@romans52345-cy3tq John was so thin & his nose had turned beaky, he looked nothing like the John Lennon we all knew & loved. I'm of his generation & distinctly remember he'd been advised to lose weight, when still with the Beatles, as his was the more manly physique. He was told that he didn't want to become known as the ' fat ' Beatle, because the others still looked like thin, teenaged boys compared to him.This was extremely bad advice, as John wasn't fat, but he took it to heart & was becoming obsessed with his weight, before he ever met Yoko. It's plain for all to see, that he'd become a shadow of his former self & had become gaunt to the point of anorexia ! It's stated that the doctors & nurses just didn't recognise who he was, until Yoko turned up in her long, fur coat calling for him, by which time, John had sadly died. John's facial features weren't masked by blood to any great degree,
Yep. That picture of his blood-stained glasses over-looking Central Park on her album cover and "Walking on Thin Ice"..and, "Yes, I'm a Witch" creepy AF. There's so much more I could mention that's creepy. Hopefully, more will come out about her involvement, probably long after she has passed. She has profited immensely and gone on to live a very long life.
I'm inclined to believe Fred Seaman. Mintz sounds like what he is -- a paid flack.
Fred is credible. He said in a previous interview that he took the journals because John wanted him to give them to Julian. Mintz is obviously detracting for his friend, Yoko. And I don't doubt Geraldo was on Yoko's side and brought Fred on his show to humiliate and gang up on him and make him seem illegitimate. Geraldo wants to hear what he wants to hear like always. He is all about getting a juicy story and getting views for ratings, and now maybe likes and shares. Geraldo couldn't wait to get him on the show. You can tell. He's a horrible person. He's taking the word of others as the truth and questioning him as if he was a lawyer questioning a defendant as the prosecutor in some weird trial.
That guy with beady eyes with the coloured tie, He has a sneaky face, YOKO must be paying him..😈👹
I find it hard to believe that John would leave Julian Lennon out of his will. Julian Lennon sued Yoko Ono and got money when he turned 21. I really think Yoko had something to do with that. The truth, as always lies somewhere in the middle of what Seaman is saying and what Yoko is saying.
And equally as bad, I guess this a guy thing, she sold his guitars at auction and Julian had to search them out and buy the back.
I know when my uncle and my father passed away (even my father in law - no sons) I inherited all their tools not my sister.
When I heard that I was pissed for him. She’s a dog or at least insensitive to the relationship.
Funny thing is I’ll bet it irked her that Julian and Sean are tight!
John barely saw Julian or acknowledged his existence so I can believe he left him out.
@@mrsbluesky8415 not when he was with may pang
Yoko put Julian through expensive court for almost two decades -- 16 years! And finally, realizing that she was looking very greedy, offered Julian a paltry undisclosed amount. And he only accepted because he didn't want to waste the next 16 years in court as well.
Julian got his real settlement 16 years later, when he was in his mid thirties, after lengthy court battles.
When he was 21 he probably got a few thousand, nothing much.
Elliot Mintz has always struck me as a total slime-ball. This interview did nothing to change that view. Lennon detested him, too.
Even as John Lennon’s wife she was in capable of success of any kind whether it was in the art world, the music world or the literary world. She just had no talent and the only one that thought she did was her husband who she got addicted to heroin and manipulated him so much that he ran off for a year and a half. She should’ve been able to capitalize to some degree on his enormous fame and wealth, but just couldn’t because there aren’t people who are dumb enough to buy that garbage of hers. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had a good laugh listening to those clips of hers. She’s the Pete Best in her chosen field -in capable of producing anything of value, even with the big head start, she got.
I agree. Well said.
John was selling an album. He had a vested interest in keeping the John and Yoko mystique alive. Nobody would buy "Double Fantasy" if John gave an interview telling the truth about his unhappy relationship with Yoko. A lot of what Fred Seaman say's goes along with what many others have said over the years. Yoko did force Julian to purchase a slew of beloved keepsakes that belonged to his father that were meant for Julian. Julian has said that publicly. That he had to pay Yoko a fortune to take possession of property that had already been earmarked for him by his father. Julian said that Yoko even forced him to buy a collection of letters written by both he and John that meant the world to him. Yoko is of the serpents seed. She's always been a horrible "person".
You have to do a deep dive into all things Beatles. Especially Cynthia Lennon's memories in regards to how she and John met Yoko.
John and Yoko always talked about how they met at an art showing of Yoko's in London. But what they never clued people in on was the so called "art gallery" was actually a $A'TAN IC OCC ULT Bookstore called - The Equinox - that was originally owned by the infamous Aleister Crowley. At the time when John met Yoko it was owned by Paul McCartney. Later on Paul sold the store to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Paul was the reason why Yoko got the gig at The Equinox in the first place. John would speak about Yoko's "avante garde" art in the "gallery" as "Some hammer nail thing" and "a ladder piece with an apple and a positive message written on the ceiling." Yoko's art was not so much "Avante Garde" as it was deeply SAY TAN IC in nature.
Neil Aspinall (long time Beatles insider) said in regards to The Fab Four... "The Beatles are incredibly antichrist. I know because I am also antichrist. But they're so antichrist it scares me." Nothing on the surface of accepted Beatles folklore is actually the truth. It's all street theater. When you listen to Cynthia Lennon speaking frankly about when Yoko first appeared in her marriage to John she paints a picture of a man (John) who suddenly wasn't anything at all like the man she married. What Cynthia was talking about wasn't really about how Yoko stole John from her. What Cynthia has alluded to in at least a couple interviews was how Yoko took control of John.
If you try to understand how SAY TAN ISM works you would realize that John and The Beatles were into something that destroyed the band, (when there was no further use for the band) then it destroyed John's solo career, and then it destroyed everything else after that. Yoko didn't start controlling John in the last five years of his life after Sean was born. Yoko controlled John the moment he participated in the ladder ritual at The Equinox. When he climb that ladder and took a bite out of that apple Yoko Ono officially became John Lennon's handler. Which was always far more important to Yoko then being John's wife. The truth is something that you have to dig for. The official story is always a con job that is designed to keep the normy multitudes interested in believing and buying. :-I

That seems very questionable… What would the reason be? The relationship gave her all the media attention and riches she could possibly want. Their relationship was allegedly quite ”open” so she could see other men if she wanted too. If she was fed up with John she could just send him away on another ”Lost Weekend”.

Don't care for Geraldo. His interview skills are not professional at all.
Agreed. He is one sided and accusatory. Not what the profession of Journalism should be. Was never a real fan of Geraldo as he is more of a sensationalist to garner ratings. Thus he never went real far in his career. More second rate.
Yoko has no legacy. She isn't talented.
*This is the truth about Yoko Ono.* Yoko Ono is a powerful witch. She used powerful occult energy, imperceptible to conventional people, to overpower and control John Lennon. The reason why her singing sounds like the wailing of a witch is because she is one. A normal person cannot make this sound, it is impossible. Yoko used to go to witches meetings in New York, driven there by her chauffeur. In Peter Jackson's 'Get Back' she appears to be just quietly sitting in the room, what she is actually doing is training powerful occult energy on John Lennon. A suitably gifted medium, psychic or shaman would be able to perceive this, conventional people would not. The reason why so many dislike her, some intensely, is because they are picking up on what she is. She is very, very with the dark side, or in biblical terms, the satanic side.
You are one sad, sad person.
I believe it. All her negative energy must have been terribly disturbing to the other 3 Beatles. No wonder there was so much fighting and anxiety when they made their last album.
@@cathyf.2672 Definitely. Her purpose was to destroy The Beatles and John Lennon. She achieved both.
The truth is in the air. Listen to double fantasy Im losing you! And like most coiples after endless reckless habits have destroyed the marriage one settles for comfort either by money ot business. A big give away was that Sam Havadtoy moved in right away after Johns death and became Yokos boyfriend! That didn’t happen over night I believe Fred is beign genuine! Yoko was way over the marriage and john accepted his sin’s.
I believe Fred.
I’ve read Fred’s book and believe it to be the truth.
Yoko Ono? 🤮
What legacy?
I believe Fred n She Sounds Absolutely Disgusting
who de bloody hell would expose all ov their movements times n places to de public
Mr Seaman's gobsmacking sovereignty does outshine Geraldo. Easily and unquestionably. Cheers from Munich 🕶 SD
why is Geraldo acting like he's putting Seaman on trial? he's not on a witness stand, this feels like cross-examination.
That Elliot guy comes out and says he's Yoko's best friend. What more do you need? Of course he's going to try to disprove anything that disparages their relationship. Plus he's being paid. It's annoying the Geraldo is so psyched to shill for Yoko. Because of course she represents a lot of clout for him. Notice how he brings up meeting them on the street as if they were friends. I'm sure John only knew Geraldo and was being polite.
I believe fred John knew
Geraldo expects that Yoko was going to answer honestly?!?
Who benefited most from John's murder!?
The media, as is always the case.
@@davidmurray2539 Yoko, by far.
Yoko, and let’s not forget the government, who did not like his politics anyway.
@@MsAppassionataFacts. 😎👍
Yoko.
Yoko was seeing Sam Green in ‘79 and ‘80 and planned on dumping him.
How John let a manipulator like Yoko into his life and whose negligence quite possibly caused his assassination by a wacko. Yoko dismissed their bodyguards concerns for their safety but was constantly shutting down his advice. Why John didnt get a divorce is beyond my comprehension. Women been the downfall of many great men. The way Yoko treated Julian and his inheritance was so wrong.
And, THIS is why Geraldo is off the air. He was no journalist. There is no objectivity, here. He has a VERY CLEAR agenda to suppressing anything critical of someone that he barely knew but admired a great deal based on a casual, passing, professional acquaintance. And, the way he is standing over the guy & pressing into his personal space is beyond unprofessional. The assistant spent every minute of every day with these people in private. I think he knew more about how they lived than Geraldo could dream. And, this oily PR guy is repulsive & reprehensible. "Put his music on the turntable? Listen to his music; look into his eyes; you'll know the truth?" What a load of horseshit!
John Lennon baking bread and changing diapers? Who in their right mind would believe that?
Macca
Money and working for Yoko what do you expect him to say. Funny May said John didn’t love her anymore. Yoko is a mean POS !
Japanese, manipulated , dakotta it was a hell
What does being Japanese have to do with anything?
It's simple. John should had divorced Yoko (and Married May Pang). There is a certain pattern in pop culture. Kurt Cobain wanted to divorce Courtney Love, but died. Chris Cornell should have left his controlling wife, but died. Once money and marriage is involved, things get dangerous.
Of course Mintz will say that- Yoko gave him exclusive access in exchange for positive propaganda. I can’t really blame him tho he’s got a lot to thank her for.
Mintz sounds like a robot
You can't hear from John but there is video of Paul talking about Yoko.
Like everything I believe the truth is somewhere in the middle here
Yoko= total poser
So Elliot Mintz. Do you consider Cynthia Lennon (RIP) a fraud also because she wrote a book which in many parts was not so becoming on John.
Geraldo just oozes sleeze
Yoko's uncle Toshikazu Kase was the Japanese Ambassador to the United Nations, which is located in Manhattan. I wonder if that gave her some kind of privilege with police?
Yoko had affairs with other men. That is why she didn’t want him back home
I am now 66 but when i was 15 Sometime in New York City lp 1972 came out , on it is the song Angela and th lyrics say Shot down your man" and even then i had a premonition that is how John would die. it is not a thought that is retrospective, i clearly remember thinking this in 1972. i always found the song upsetting because of this, although the middle eight was compelling. I have always though yoko ono an evil person, when Paul MCcartney speaks of her its always a kind of non committal, yes we get on kind of way and i think he is not telling the truth when he says Yoko didnt break up the Beatles, of course she did, George couldnt stand her, at the Get Back sessions she even told George how to play. She should not have been in the studio and the other 3 Beatles should have stood up to her and John saying only us 4 should be here. George was kind of weak coz he never told Paul to stop bossing him on what and how to play. George dd not state in no certain terms his anger to paul and yoko, the nearest i have heard him say is in the old Let it Be film where he says to Paul "Ill play whatever you want me to play, or i wont play at all if you dont want me to" Whatever will please you Ill do it" John i think was controlled by Ono from the time they met in 1966 and her refusal to have guards at Dakota cost John his life, the World his music, humour and humanity.I noticed that whenever john spoke in interviews without her being with him, he seemed like the okd John. open. frank humourous and talking about a possible beatles reunion maybe but when shes with him he seems stilited and withdrawn.
what does everyone think bout this discus and reply
John gave him those journal’s !
Why was Geraldo so aggressive towards Fred? Was he paid for yoko just like her publicist Elliot? 🤔 Clear attack on his guest 🤮
He’s a felon.
Seaman was on-point in defense of his point-of-view regarding his time with Lennon… Mintz is a transparent PR man making facile, weak arguments in defense of HIS point-of-view, both personally-held and paid…
To be fair, Geraldo was friends with the Lennon's back then, he's not going to bash them.
I think there's truth in both Elliot's and Fred's accounts. John and Yoko were complicated people, and so was their relationship. One thing often lost in these discussions is that John was a grown man, and he CHOSE to allow Yoko that level of control over him. He often called her Mother, because that's in essence what he wanted her to be. I wish he'd chosen another path, because this one led to isolation, and perhaps indirectly to his demise.
In the introduction, Horrordo egregiously-neglected to mention that Mintz is also a very highly-paid PR parrot at Ono’s behest!..
SEAMAN - 1
MINTZ - 0
🤣😂🤣
✌🏻🌏🇦🇺🤘🏻
Fred has to be telling God's honest truth. In another yt video he and other staffers fill in a sordid picture -- among other things they name yoko's boyfriend during the period. Yoko TOLD her asst Ms Pang to get frisky with John -- she didn't "suggest" it!
First Newsweek reported too many bullets for one killer
They were both crazy.
Yoko brainwashed John .
dragon lady is right, the interviewer is biased
I think you said it perfect
Geraldo doesn’t know what he’s talking about and probably got money from yo-yo to lie
Yoko still alive 2024 i believe Fred hope more truth comes out when shes gone ,91 years old only the good die young 😂
Is Elliot Mintz a Scientologist ? 🤨 He comes across like one. 👽
He'd be alive had he never met Yoko
How do you know John wouldn't have been killed by a car or something sooner, had he stayed in England with Cynthia?
Sorry, I believe Seaman!
A felon
I believe Fred 💯
