Rare Cynthia Lennon interview with John Stapleton Part 2 of 2

Miriam Havard, Cynthia said in another interview I watched, that John was the love of her life and she still was in love with him. But no doubt, Cynthia loved her's and John's son. It has been my experience that if you truly love someone and there is a break up, that doesn't mean that the love you have for each other dies. With some couples, I'm sure that it does die for some. But if it did, then they most likely were not in love.

Once Paul said she wasn't strong (interview with Howard Stern). As much I respect him, I disagree. This is real, real strength to overcome the public humiliation with such a great class and still remain a loving person. An amazing example of what human should be. Rest in Peace dear Cynthia.

[@bwsmyhero]

G F, I read one interview with John, at the time he and Yoko Ono became an item, in which he said of his relationship with Cynthia, "Cyn got pregnant, so I married her." I wondered from that time on if he ever really loved Cynthia, or if he simply "did the right thing" by marrying her.

Cynthia's dull and pedestrian - she must have driven the brilliant John Lennon insane with boredom! Thank God he found love with Yoko, and was personally fulfilled when he was tragically murdered aged 40. Note that Cynthia had two failed marriages after her divorce from Lennon, so she clearly wasn't the wonderful wife material people here are pretending. Yet she clung onto the famous Lennon name like grim death till the day she died! It was her one big claim to fame and she loved it. She never tried to make it independently as an artist. I'd have had more respect for her if she'd reverted to a different name.

Both women had one child with their famous husband. Very sad for Priscilla she has outlived her daughter with Elvis, Lisa. Cynthia was luckier - she outlived her beloved son Julian.

[@MrScotsAway1]

Dreadful questions. Dreadful interview but top marks to the late Cynthia for her dignity in her responses.

[@johnrroberts7900]

Disagree. The interviewer is simply reflecting the questions the PUBLIC wanted to know - ie. trying to cover all the bases in the time allowed. In fact, compared to some interviewers of the time I thought John Stapleton had quite a gentle and interested approach.

[@mrfester42]

There's something so incredibly gentle, accepting and loving about this lady yet... She must in some way be tough as nails to have kept herself and her sanity together amidst and after the madness that was the life of the Beatles PLUS she managed to raise a son who turned into a thoughtful, real man with a true heart. What she was AFTER her divorce from John and the man her son turned out to be is the most remarkable thing in this whole story. ALL the rest, as real as it was, is just sensationalism.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

It was amazing the way Cynthia made herself into a star. She wrote books, TV interviews, serialised her story in the Daily Mail etc. Without John her life would have gone unnoticed. Ringo married Maureen when she was pregnant and later divorced her, but Maureen never played the jilted wife or ever tried to cash in on her fame. Cynthia just milked her connection with John for everything she could get, though I don't blame her.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

Duffy - she NEVER stopped flogging it. WAY AFTER Julian was grown up. She became a mini celeb in her own right.

[@sheilagraham7247]

Treasure Hunter UK why shouldn't she make some money.

[@mq1847]

It was because people were asking her too... she was reluctant to do things but people wanted to hear her side of the story too so she was asked to do interviews and things of that nature. Besides like someone mentioned she didn't really get a lot of money from John. Stop portraying her in this negative light. Also, Cynthia was in fact abandoned, and so was Julian, so if people ask her about the situation she's not going to sugarcoat it. John straight up left her and when he moved to the states abandoned Julian for 3 years. Learn your facts, she's not pretending this is all genuine and shit if she makes money explaining her side of the story she damn well deserves it.

[@noreenalbright2245]

I love how she said she would have been stronger to get the drugs and "users/imposters" out. She is a loving, beautiful and forgiving person. I love that she talks about her dream. It's so important to keep your dream (whatever your dream is). I love that she was more comfortable "being" and that she's not materialistic. She was in love, madly, and that she said she was vulnerable as they all were. She just wanted to be with him and that is true love. I'm so sorry that John was not a good Dad due to drugs. :( Drugs rob a child of their parent. I don't care who you are, your child is your child. Never disown your own flesh and blood. This is a big mistake and don't rob them of their inheritance. Don't let a gold digger steal your child's inheritance.

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

This woman had such a kind and upstanding character - something that is rarely seen in the world no matter the era. She had every right to hate on both John and Yoko - John for not having the integrity to stick around to be the father their son needed, and Yoko who notoriously came between the little family they once were - yet she chose not to say a single cross word about either of them. In my opinion, that makes her one hell of a class act, and a tremendous example of an upstanding human being. I'm sure she must be missed so dearly.

As a matter of fact, his Aunt Mimi, who mostly raised John, said to him, "You always go for the low types, don't you, John?" Well, that statement certainly was borne out when he fell in love with Yoko Ono.
