Yoko Ono sues former John Lennon aide
Yoko Ono is saying “Oh no” to a former personal assistant of her late husband John Lennon.
The 87-year-old classic rock icon has filed a new lawsuit against Frederic Seaman, this time for violating a 2002 court order that prohibited him from trying to profit off Lennon’s legacy when he took part in a 23-minute interview that was “flanked with Lennon memorabilia” and discussed topics that were legally off-limits — such as his 1991 book “The Last Days of John Lennon,” his employment with the couple, and Lennon’s murder.
Ono and Seaman have been in and out of the courts dating back to the 1980s.
In 1983, the “Walking On Thin Ice” singer claimed the former aide pleaded guilty to stealing The Beatles' legend journals.
“At the time, Mrs. Lennon believed that to be the end of her ordeal with Seaman,” Ono’s attorney, Dorothy Webber, wrote in the lawsuit, which seeks up to $150,000 in damage. “Those representations turned out to be lies and the start of yet another scheme.”
