Washington
(ANI):
John
Lennon's
former
mistress
claims
that
the
late
Beatle"s
wife
Yoko
Ono
'rugged'
him
during
his
attempts
to
kick
the
butt.
Lennon
dated
Pang
for
18
months
from
1974
to
75
in
what
is
famously
known
as
his
'lost
weekend'.
However,
he
eventually
returned
to
his
wife.
Pang
now
claims
that
Ono's
methods
of
getting
the
singer
to
stop
smoking
were
rather
unconventional.
"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," Contactmusic
quoted
her,
as
saying.
"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,"
she
added.
