“She certainly didn’t separable the group, the group was already separating.”
However, Paul admits that Yoko’s presence in the studio, especially at the time the band was already walking for their final hours, was a nuisance.

By participating in the Howard Stern program in 2013, the musician said that obviously those were moments of work among the four members and there should be no distractions. He explained:
“Let’s be honest, we didn’t want Yoko in the studio. It was our thing. Not even the other wives and girlfriends and everything else were welcome in the studio. They could even make a quick visit in the control room, but sitting with us in the studio, no.
Paul McCartney and the change of perspective
Paul, however, reported that he and the other Beatles realized that Yoko Ono was very important to John Lennon. Faced with this scenario, they became used to their almost omnipresent presence.
