John Lennon Lovechild daughter coming!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me tell you folks all this to do about John Lennon now is he has an American daughter. When Ono comes out on talk shows and tells you yes he has a daughter no one is going to believe it at first. You can laugh and get mad all you want at this e-mail. But when you hear the heartbreaking story this Lovechild will tell with Ono next to her you will think again. Just WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are commenting about a matter that is strictly confidential and endangering the girl's privacy by talking, and you would do well to shut your damn mouth NOW.
Go away troll. stop posting lies all over the internet.
