00:00 My name is Mei Pang and this is my story.
00:05 She was a very good assistant.
00:07 Tons of things with June on a daily basis.
00:09 Taking care of everything. Working in the studio.
00:11 Doing clothes, doing the publicity.
00:13 There were three women in his life and I happened to be one of them.
00:19 And there was a lot of myth stories out there about what actually happened.
00:27 And hopefully it will bring some light and shed some light to the real truth that's out there.
00:34 Instead of some of the lies that's been going on.
00:37 I was 23 and my first boyfriend was John Lennon.
00:41 Last week, he keeps talking about, it wasn't so long.
00:46 And John admits to the fact that he was, as you know in the film,
00:51 he admits that he was not a good person on that level.
00:54 But he tried to change, which is a lot better than most men that I know that don't want to change.
01:01 And won't admit that they are.
01:03 That was the hardest part on reliving those things.
01:06 But again, I hope they understand it was not a big portion of my life with him.
01:12 This was not an everyday occurrence.
01:14 She did not realize it was going to turn into such a big love affair.
01:18 She thought it would be two weeks gone. Goodbye.
01:23 She told me, "There's something here taking John back."
01:26 And I said, "What?"
01:27 She said, "I think it's time."
