Kidnapped, raised in cult, forbidden to see mom

YOKO DAUGHTER'S HARD-KNOCK LIFE

Yoko Ono was thrilled to be reunited with Kyoko in the '90s. Mother and daughter (pictured in New York City in 2004) now have a good relationship

YOKO ONO’S daughter says she was kidnapped by her biological dad as a child and raised in a cult, and didn’t reconnect with her artist mom for nearly two decades — long after the assassination of her stepdad, former Beatle John Lennon.

Now 61, Kyoko Ono says her mother and Lennon — who was murdered by crazed gunman Mark David Chapman in 1980 — had even moved to New York City in hopes of finding her after her disappearance.
