Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono is a Japanese-American artist and musician, best known as the wife and creative partner of John Lennon.

Her name became shorthand for a woman blamed for breaking up a famous group—typically a band: Everyone called her the Yoko Ono of the group when they split.

The usage is usually unfair, as it was to Ono herself regarding the Beatles.
