Sir, back up for a second. I don't think you understand what's happening here, despite your best intentions. Even if we assume--for sake of argument--that Yoko Ono is awful, insufferable, manipulative, etc., that still doesn't explain how she made grown men break up.

Do you get what I'm saying? The grown men who comprised The Beatles made their own decisions. It is beyond laughable to claim that Yoko Ono forced the most powerful entertainers on the planet--each of them icons in their own right--to do anything, let alone split.
Even if the new Beatles documentary didn't already make it clear that Yoko Ono wasn't to blame for the Beatles breaking up, we really only need common sense to reach that conclusion.
If your hangup with Yoko Ono is about something else--her art, her singing voice, whatever--then that's a different thing, and conflating it with this bizarre notion that she made the group dissolve is, in fact, quite sexist and racist.
I don't know Yoko Ono. I have no idea what she's like as a person. And I don't care because it's not germane here. She could be the worst person ever and still should not be blamed for the actions of four men over whom she had no control.
And one more thing: if John Lennon were such a clown who was "manipulated" by Yoko Ono, why wouldn't he share blame in that scenario? The man had agency. He knew what he was doing. So, why again is Yoko Ono being blamed for John Lennon's supposed poor decisions? It's ridiculous.
