The question is, where is the evidence he said this?
According to the original article, Lennon told Yoko who told the reporter during an intereview for the book.
I suppose it's possible that the reporter fabricated the Ono quote but given her propensity for litigation, unless we see a lawsuit shortly, I would suspect that he didn't.
I also suppose it's possible that Ono fabricated the conversation with John for the reporter. However, given that much of her income and lifestyle derive directly from continuing to promote the legend of Lennon in a positive light, that also seems unlikely.
If this was a allegation based on unnamed sources or ex-friends I would agree that the credibility was very questionable. However, when it comes right from Yoko Ono herself, bitch that she might be, it's hard to claim that the story's fabricated.
