It was during this mind-altering vacation that Michelle and Denny started “playing footsie.” Michelle revealed that after a sloppy kiss with Denny, she told her then-husband, John, about her blossoming feelings for their fellow band member. As Michelle recalls, John shrugged it off, telling her matter-of-factly that she shouldn’t worry too much about it because Doherty had no interest in her. Nonetheless, Michelle entered into an affair with Denny. After a while, John learned that Michelle and Denny’s affair wasn’t simply a figment of her imagination. With Michelle suddenly gone, fans started calling for her at the band’s concerts. Jill was ultimately ousted, and Michelle made her way back into the group during the summer of 1966. (On the second The Mamas and The Papas album, vocals can be heard by both Michelle and Jill). In the end, John welcomed his wife back, both romantically and musically. Despite his wife’s cheating, John was nevertheless willing to let bygones be bygones. In fact, he and Denny even wrote a song about it called I Saw Her Again. John also tackled Michelle’s affair in the song Go Where You Wanna Go, alluding to the sexual liberation of the era. The Mamas and The Papas gave off this air of being an insulated, protected quartet. When Michelle was asked about it, she described how they were all living together and enjoyed a very close relationship between the four of them. She said how John and Denny were best friends, Cass was head over heels in love with Denny, and Denny and Michelle were having an affair. She and John were married, Cass and Denny were best friends. Michelle laughed as she laid it all out. “It was like, we didn’t need anybody else in the picture.” In her eyes, the dysfunctional inner dynamics of the group set the stage for the “soap opera drama/romantic entanglements” of Fleetwood Mac.
