Get rid of her: John Lennon had multiple affairs, pal claims and Yoko Ono heard him having sex

It wasn’t a complete accident that John Lennon had an affair with May Pang.From September 1973 to 1975, the Beatles icon went on his so-called “Lost Weekend,” which involved an 18 month-long binge of sex, drugs and booze.Elliot Mintz, who was close friends with Lennon and Ono, told The Post while promoting his new memoir, “We All Shine On: John, Yoko, and Me,” that the Japanese singer exiled her husband to Los Angeles with Pang, who was their assistant — which led to the pair having a full-blown love affair.According to Mintz, Lennon had sex with a woman at political radical-turned-Wall Street investor Jerry Rubin’s party in 1972.Ono heard everything, leaving Mintz stuck in the middle of the couple’s drama.
