She was John's wife. It was him that insisted she go to the Let it Be sessions.

She did what any wife would do - wait until they were over.

Paul took offense to that. So be it.

George took offense to that. So be it.

John wanted to leave, Yoko just happened to be the convenient blame.

4. Who could blame her, even if she inadvertently did?
Who would pass up a chance to be with John?

6. That's like saying Reagan was responsible for breaking up the Soviet Union.

7. The old story was
four guys in a room. Three leave one by one, then Paul announces "I'm leaving".

9. 40+ years on it's only a lame punch line.
No one really holds Ono responsible anymore.
