Was John Lennon Abusive To His Ex-Wife

John Lennon was cruel and abusive to his ex-wife Cynthia Lennon. Cynthia Lennon married John Lennon starting in 1962 and ending in 1968, in which Cynthia Lennon divorced him for having relations with John Lennon’s second wife Yoko Ono. During an interview with “Playboy Magazine” in 1980, John Lennon admitted to physically abusing Cynthia Lennon. In this interview, he directly said, “I used to be cruel to my woman... I was a hitter. I couldn’t express myself and I hit.” This quote reveals the indecency of his ability to control himself, and it is amplified by Lennon himself admitting to his inferior actions-- the inferior actions that were concealed from Lennon’s band mates, Cynthia Lennon’s family, as well as the public.
