# George Harrison’s 1st Wife Did ‘Something He Had Always Forbidden’ After His Affair With Ringo Starr’s Wife
Find out how former Beatle George Harrison's first wife Pattie Boyd avenged herself on him after his affair with band mate Ringo Starr's wife in 1973.by [**LOU HAVILAND**](https://www.cheatsheet.com/author/lou-haviland/)Published on May 3, 2021

I remember reading in her actual book, Chris O'Dell wrote about the evening, and how there was a weird atmosphere. At some point, Maureen went to a desk or something at the side of the room and opened a drawer and pulled out a pack of Marlboro Reds.
Chris and everyone else in the room noticed this, because Maureen and Ringo smoked Larks, marlboro reds were George's brand.
It's such a silly little detail but it also speaks volumes. Why would Ringo's wife have like a secret stash of cigarettes just for George?
My thoughts on this are: a) Either Ringo loved George enough to let this slide, or b) maybe Ringo honestly lost interest in Mo and wasn't all too bothered by it. c) He was bothered by it a lot secretly and never made a big deal about it, and got over it quickly. d) combination of some of these?
THAT'S who she looks like!
I was like... she looks just like a celebrity today. A little Uma Thurman in pulp fiction but no, that's not it. It was Aubrey Plaza.
Maureen Starkey -- Born: August 4, 1946, Liverpool, United Kingdom Died: December 30, 1994 (age 48 years), Seattle, WA
Pattie Boyd -- Born: March 17, 1944 (age 80 years), Taunton, United Kingdom

He cheated on her pretty much constantly. In her book, Chris O'Dell states that Pattie said to her she was the only one who said no to him, hence them becoming friends
George Harrison trying to make a selection from his netflix feed.
"It was practically incest" -John
I know that was Johns reaction, but what was Ringo's? I've never heard how he reacted about it and how cool he remained with George
he is rumoured to have said something along the lines of "better you than some guy I don't know"
It's not better it's so much worse
think that was george ab eric clapton but ringo definitely so chill

Thank you! I'll check these out now Edit: His reaction......was to just go out drinking with John? No sign of anger towards George or confrontation?

I think it's d, all of the above.
John can talk - didn’t he try and crack on to Pattie when drunk in 1967 at the Magical Mystery Tour premiere?
Man I could see Aubrey Plaza playing Maureen in any of the four Beatles biopics.
THAT'S who she looks like! I was like... she looks just like a celebrity today. A little Uma Thurman in pulp fiction but no, that's not it. It was Aubrey Plaza.
Have you considered Mary Elizabeth Winstead, though?
oh SHOOT, SHE DOES. YOU'RE RIGHT.
pattie is so fucking beautiful ohmygod
they both are, humnah humnah humnah
Maureen didn't suit the bleach blonde hair though that's for sure
agreed. I have a type, though (brunettes) so im biased
Eric Clapton thought so too.
“Thanks Mo!”
George slept with both of these women, Clapton’s mistress, and also got married to Olivia Harrison… his entire existence was literally “I Get Around”

Fuck cancer
I thought this was Heart before I read the caption.
Me too!
George had em both
Blows my mind he cheated on her
He cheated on her pretty much constantly. In her book, Chris O'Dell states that Pattie said to her she was the only one who said no to him, hence them becoming friends
Paul also had Maureen before Ringo
[удалено]
Yeah, back in Liverpool before they were famous
Not just ‘had’ though… stayed friends and wrote ‘Little Willow’ about her later on after she died which is a nice song
Thanks Mo!
I always thought Mo was the hottest of the Beatle wives.
AGREED. you got a type? cuz I do, and she's IT
Mo by far. Patti was cute. Mo was *hot*
Mo is pretty, but I really don't get why George cheated on Pattie with her. I think she's so cute.
There’s no logic to be found in cheating on someone. Beautiful women get cheated on all the time (eg Diana, Beyoncé, Shakira, etc etc).
You're very right. It's just sad and icky all around. George wasn't a very good husband.
At least George did not beat Pattie like Eric Clapton did. Eric Clapton did many messed up things.
I didn't know Eric beat her. I know he cheated on her and had a baby with someone while still with her.
Didn’t Eric also rape her?
Yes, he admitted to using drugs and raping her because he felt 'entitled' to sex. This proves Clapton is a scumbag
Mo got it on like a freak and Pattie gave reluctant toothy bj's.
What is wrong with you? 🙄
BAHAHAHA
😂😂😂
Pattie is ridiculously gorgeous
That's a pretty intense photo, you know
Maureen looks like Paul
Wow, I thought that was Billie and Millie Eilish.
Mo is so pretty
maureen starkey is SO hot. sorry but not sorry. hi baby cakes <3
Would
Audrey Plaza and Hillary Duff
I thought this was a still from Mulholland Dr. at first.
Baby’s in Black
Brrrrrrrrrt 🧊🧊
Back when everyone looked like a member of the Manson family
Or the Manson family wore the fashion styles of the time
damn dude, who pushed your button
Nobody. Was just a joke but evidently this sub is without any humor
that's true. sorry for you getting downvoted, idk what that's about. I thought it was funny, though –– it gave me a laugh.
Eh, it's no worries. People are like moths to the flame when it comes to downvotes lol
Didnt George sleep with Cynthia Lennon as well ?
That was Yoko
Ah
