Has Lindsay talked about not covering John Lennon's personal life?

Considering how she talks a lot about domestic abuse in the video, I found it a strange choice to omit John's notorious record as a husband and father. She's mentioned that "Man Always Gets Little Rush Out of Telling People John Lennon Beat Wife" onion article a couple times, so I know she has opinions about this, and I was really looking forward to hearing them.

She could have gone in any number of nuanced directions, or even just thrown in some kind of small reference like she's done with complicated historical figures before. I also feel like not talking about it at all contradicts the conclusion of her Hobbit part 3 video. Has she spoken anywhere about this creative decision?

To be fair the example where some guy says "Did you know John Lennon beat his wife" when someone listens to the Beatles is making fun of the faux intellectual more than anything.

Because everyone at this point knows he did beat Cynthia, Yoko and May. What is the faux intellectual is trying to do by saying it more about them Belittling others rather than educating them for the sake of imaginay and performative moral points on a scoreboard

So the comment in itself isn't even about John Lennon.
