'John wanted The Beatles over with – so he used Yoko to do it': Lennon's former assistant tells all The Telegraph

 Dan Richter lived with and worked for the couple. He talks about his ringside seat at the bitter end of Lennon, McCartney et al

“I do think John used Yoko to help him break up The Beatles,” says 83-year-old actor and mime artist Dan Richter, who lived and worked with John Lennon and Yoko Ono as their personal assistant from 1969 to 1973. He was present at the recording of the band’s final album, Abbey Road, where Lennon insisted his second wife should be a central – and antagonising – presence.

At the time Ono was recovering from injuries sustained in a recent car crash and Richter describes her being placed “in this gigantic brass bed, all covered in white in a white night dress, right in the middle of the studio…So sitting at the [mixing] board all you’re looking at is Yoko in a bed. The rest of the band were just appalled.”
