Yoko Ono has shown her support for her depiction in new Beatles documentary, Get Back, which fans believe dispel claims that she was responsible for The Fab Four's break-up.

The Japanese artist, who was married to John Lennon from 1969 until his murder in 1980, has long been blamed for breaking up the iconic band - comprised of John, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - and for 'ruining' her husband.

The new Disney+ documentary covers the making of the Beatles' 1970 album Let It Be, which had the working title of Get Back, with fans praising Yoko for her 'unassuming' nature in the film - with Yoko showing her gratitude by retweeting a story about fans' reaction.

This also comes as the documentary's director Peter Jackson also stated that Yoko wasn't responsible for the band going their separate ways in 1969 

The Beatles: Get Back takesd audiences back in time to The Beatles' intimate recording sessions and exuberant performances during a pivotal moment in music history.  

In footage from the film, Yoko is seen quietly reading the newspaper and snacking while the band record around her.

One fan wrote: 'Feel like pop culture made the Yoko situation seem more tense than it was, she’s just kinda chilling, chatting with Linda.'

Another typed: 'Biggest band in the world workshopping new songs together, Yoko reads the newspaper. Amazing.'

While a third wrote: 'Watching "Get Back" and learning how Yoko destroyed the Beatles by sitting quietly and reading the paper and sorting through her mail.'  

Director Peter Jackson also told 60 Minutes recently: 'I have no issues with Yoko in the sense… I can understand from George and Paul and Ringo's point of view it's, like, a little strange. 

'But the thing with Yoko, though, that they have to say, is that she doesn't impose herself. She's writing letters, she's reading letters, she's doing sewing, she's doing painting, sometimes some artwork off to the side. 

'She never has opinions about the stuff they're doing. She never says, 'Oh, I think the previous take was better than that one.' She's a very benign presence and she doesn't interfere in the slightest.'   

Paul recently admitted the upcoming flick 'reaffirmed' for him that he wasn't to blame for their split.

Macca said this month: 'It was so reaffirming for me. Because it proves that my main memory of the Beatles was the joy and the skill.

'The proof is the footage. I bought into the dark side of the Beatles breaking up and thought, 'Oh God, I'm to blame.' I knew I wasn't, but it's easy when the climate is that way to start thinking so.    

Couple: Lennon and Ono first met at an art exhibition in London in 1966 and they married in 1969, months after she had divorced Anthony Cox (pictured November 1980 - one month before John's murder)

'But at the back of my mind there was always this idea that it wasn't like that, but I needed to see proof. There's a great photo Linda [his late ex-wife] took, which is my favourite, of me and John working on a song, glowing with joy. This footage is the same. All four of us having a ball.'

Hailing Lord of the Rings filmmaker Jackson's work on the flick, Paul added: 'I love it, I must say because it's how it was. It just reminds me of – even though we had arguments, like any family – we loved each other, you know, and it shows in the film.

'It's a very warm feeling, And it's amazing just being backstage with these people,
