"Sometimes they are friendly, sometimes they are not; sometimes one of them is friendly and sometimes one of them is not - like all relationships with friends," Ono said in an interview published Sunday in The Knoxville News-Sentinel. "I think that's natural with friends."Ono said her relationship with the late singer John Lennon created jealousy among the other members, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. She was blamed for the band's breakup, but she said the pain of the split went both ways. "They hurt us and we hurt them," she said.
