I used to know this man, actually. For two years-before he started to work for Yoko, that is- he worked under my employ at a large botanical warehouse in upstate New York. Interestingly, he was fired for installing secret cameras, and then avoided being sued in an out-of-court settlement. The strange thing was, the only thing he was spying on was a room full of semi-rare varieties of African violets. I guess he never learned his lesson, and now he's been making secret videos of Yoko for ten years or so. Frightening.

Did she force him at gun point to have an affair w/her? He was a married man before getting into this, apparently. Oh boo-hoo, I can't take my wife to the doctor. Well f-ing around on her in the 1st place shows where your opportunist proirities already lie, Jerk.

I can believe that Yoko is eccentric, possessive, and demanding toward her employees (though, after all, they probably knew that from the start and they're well paid for it). I'll even admit that she's capable of having an affair with a married man; she and John Lennon were both still married when they hooked up. But Korsal loses me with the information he threatens to reveal. Yoko is hardly the first person to be critical about the government, her friends, and her family. As for Sean's supposed comment, it's no different from what John said himself, multiple times. And if Yoko really was raped, and trusted Korsan enough to confide in him about it, he's an absolute jerk for threatening her with it, and she's all the more worthy of respect for her resilience.

this jerk was being paid so well to be her chaffeur (what, over a 100k a year?), and he's complaining? Does he really think it's going to sully Yoko's reputation by his revealing that she has been raped and possibly physically abused by John Lennon? um, i don't know what parallel universe he's living in, but I would think the public would empathize with Yoko. She's been through A LOT, and whatever your feelings on her, she deserves to live her life with dignity. This guy needs to be put under the jail. -Love, A HUGE Yoko Ono fan

Actually, I think its interesting he stayed employed with her for so long if he was a nut. There probably is some truth to his statement, I doubt anybody would have someone imagining a whole sexualized relationship around for 15 years unless there was some truth to it. The whole wife leaving him, and mentioning about missing his family's milestones sounds kinda mental breakdown, so im not sure i buy her responsibility for that. But his claims in the beginning don't seem to far fetched...I know plenty of smart people who sleep with the married help, lol.

Something tells me Yoko is a little too smart, saavy, and generally suspicious to start doing the married help. Maybe the reason this guy's wife left him is that he's nuts.
