I know I’m wasting my time, but I just so tired of self righteous dipshits with this take any time Lennon is mentioned. You know how we know about any abuse? From Lennon himself in one of his later interviews. He admitted he had struck his first wife and felt terrible about it. Cynthia was asked about it and said yes, he did slap her once when they were young. She herself said it never happened again or she would have left. Lennon brought it up and criticized himself for it because it haunted him. Yes, he was also not a great father to his first son, Julian. He wasn’t around and paid much more attention to his second son who was born when he was older and not so distracted by fame and his career. People online now like to paint Lennon as a guy who beat both of his wives on a daily basis and kicked babies for fun. If you don’t like him and judge him, that’s totally valid, but don’t paint him out to be a fucking monster that deserved to be shot (yes, I realize this comment will be downvoted).

Facts and he did a bunch of therapy as well to cope with the trauma from his childhood and fame. People act like he’s a remorseless Chris Brown or something.
