John Lennon's Divorce Papers Up For Auction
A never-before-seen dossier detailing the bitter breakdown of John Lennon's marriage to his first wife Cynthia has been uncovered after nearly 50 years.
The five-page document, drafted by the solicitors dealing with the Beatle's divorce in 1968, reveals details of his increasing drug use and his affair with Yoko Ono.
It centres on claims made by Dorothy Jarlett, Lennon's housekeeper of four years, on what she saw while working at the Lennon family home Kenwood in Weybridge, Surrey.
The papers, which will go up for auction next month, also details his mood swings, aggressive behaviour towards his young son Julian and heated arguments between him and Cynthia.

To sum it up, John and Cynthia's former housekeeper, Dorothy 'Dot' Jarlett alledges in the document that the marriage fell apart in 1967. John began pulling away from Cynthia. Yoko would come over when Cynthia was out. John was harsh with Julian, on occasion slapping him. John and Cynthia would argue about the way their son was being raised. John drunkenly confessed to Cynthia his numerous affairs.
