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. “Sometimes [dealing with them] became an intrusion,” said Mintz. “At what point do you rein it back in?
Keep in mind that I never was paid.”While it’s widely believed that Ono hand-selected Pang to be a surrogate girlfriend for Lennon after his “indiscretion,” Mintz said he remembers things differently.
Yoko, he said, “selected a then-assistant to accompany him and basically look after his basic needs.”“She did, very competently,” Mintz said about Pang, adding that her relationship with Lennon “turned into something more than a separated husband and assistant.”But as Mintz revealed, Pang was not the only woman Lennon strayed with during his “Lost Weekend.”“He called, woke me up and told me to go to an address,” Mintz recalled, explaining that he honored the request, rolled up to a house he’d never been to before and found Lennon in bed alone and under the sheets as a woman in a bathrobe waited in the adjacent room. “John just looked at me and said, ‘Get rid of her.’”Mintz did what Lennon asked, but he told the famous singer he was done protecting him like that. “John got angry at that,” said Mintz. “He shouted at me and said, ‘I’m going to ask you to do anything I feel like asking you.’”Lennon later apologized to Mintz, the former radio DJ recalled.
