I’m coining the term ‘Yoko Ono’d’ or ‘Yoko Ono-fication’ to refer to the cultural phenomenon where the female romantic partner of a male celebrity is blamed for the downfall or decline of any kind of his public career. Yoko Ono, the blueprint for this phenomenon, is an artist, musician, and the widow of John Lennon. The couple met in 1966, began a relationship in 1968 that overlapped with John’s marriage, and got married themselves in 1969.
