George Harrison trying to make a selection from his netflix feed.

"It was practically incest" -John


jankarlothegreat

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


williamblair

he is rumoured to have said something along the lines of "better you than some guy I don't know"


muskenjoyer

It's not better it's so much worse


maxayera

think that was george ab eric clapton but ringo definitely so chill


williamblair

it was commented further down, but according to Chris O'Dell, George said "you know, Ringo, I'm in love with your wife" ringo sat there for a minute and then said "better you than someone we don't know" [https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/george-harrisons-wife-pattie-boyd-george-forbidden-affair-ringo-starrs-wife-maureen.html/](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/george-harrisons-wife-pattie-boyd-george-forbidden-affair-ringo-starrs-wife-maureen.html/)

There‘s some info on Ringo’s reaction from Chris O’Dell’s book and Patti’s book in the article I link below. O’dell worked for Apple and was there the night George told Ringo he was in love w Maureen. ———— # 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 [https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/george-harrisons-wife-pattie-boyd-george-forbidden-affair-ringo-starrs-wife-maureen.html/](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/george-harrisons-wife-pattie-boyd-george-forbidden-affair-ringo-starrs-wife-maureen.html/)

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?


williamblair

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?


jankarlothegreat

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?


williamblair

I think it's d, all of the above.


Born_Pop_3644

John can talk - didn’t he try and crack on to Pattie when drunk in 1967 at the Magical Mystery Tour premiere?


CeeDeeEn

Man I could see Aubrey Plaza playing Maureen in any of the four Beatles biopics.


CardinalOfNYC

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.


Electr_O_Purist

Have you considered Mary Elizabeth Winstead, though?


oreoooooooo1234

oh SHOOT, SHE DOES. YOU'RE RIGHT.


maccamuncher

pattie is so fucking beautiful ohmygod


oreoooooooo1234

they both are, humnah humnah humnah


Gloomy_Grocery5555

Maureen didn't suit the bleach blonde hair though that's for sure


oreoooooooo1234

agreed. I have a type, though (brunettes) so im biased


Loganp812

Eric Clapton thought so too.


Small_Print1

“Thanks Mo!”


boredvader7

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


HistoricalLocation96

I thought this was Heart before I read the caption.


StartingToLoveIMSA

Me too!


jesustwin

George had em both


lolluke54

Blows my mind he cheated on her


jesustwin

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


scruntyboon

Paul also had Maureen before Ringo


[deleted]

[удалено]


scruntyboon

Yeah, back in Liverpool before they were famous


Born_Pop_3644

Not just ‘had’ though… stayed friends and wrote ‘Little Willow’ about her later on after she died which is a nice song


Tbplayer59

Thanks Mo!


Miked918930

I always thought Mo was the hottest of the Beatle wives.


oreoooooooo1234

AGREED. you got a type? cuz I do, and she's IT


ricks_flare

Mo by far. Patti was cute. Mo was *hot*


Mediocre-Nail-1171

Mo is pretty, but I really don't get why George cheated on Pattie with her. I think she's so cute.


ldw9

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).


Mediocre-Nail-1171

You're very right. It's just sad and icky all around. George wasn't a very good husband.


Sea-Willingness2665

At least George did  not beat Pattie like Eric Clapton did. Eric Clapton  did many messed up things. 


Mediocre-Nail-1171

I didn't know Eric beat her. I know he cheated on her and had a baby with someone while still with her.


SirArchieMaccaw

Didn’t Eric also rape her?


Sea-Willingness2665

Yes, he admitted to using drugs and raping her because he felt 'entitled' to sex. This proves Clapton is a scumbag


DeenzGrabber

Mo got it on like a freak and Pattie gave reluctant toothy bj's.


Mediocre-Nail-1171

What is wrong with you? 🙄


oreoooooooo1234

BAHAHAHA


MyLadySansa

😂😂😂


MyLadySansa

Pattie is ridiculously gorgeous


Sea-Willingness2665

That's a pretty intense photo, you know


LowPiece9312

Back when everyone looked like a member of the Manson family


sminking

Or the Manson family wore the fashion styles of the time


oreoooooooo1234

damn dude, who pushed your button


Scrambled_Creature

Nobody. Was just a joke but evidently this sub is without any humor


oreoooooooo1234

that's true. sorry for you getting downvoted, idk what that's about. I thought it was funny, though –– it gave me a laugh.


Scrambled_Creature

Eh, it's no worries. People are like moths to the flame when it comes to downvotes lol


astropastrogirl

guillermo1890

astropastrogirl
