The Ladies Man of the ‘60s and ‘70s
Jones was at the height of his fame in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and what happens to many men when they’re super-duper famous? They become ladies’ men. And that’s exactly what Jones was. He notoriously slept with hundreds of women. In fact, Jones once stated that he slept with up to 250 groupies every year at the height of his fame.

It’s no secret that he had a countless string of romances that his wife Linda wasn’t so happy about. She reportedly assaulted him at one point because of it. Some of the flings in Jones’ past were a bit controversial, too. For instance, he was tied to Mary Wilson, of The Supremes, for a period – at a time when interracial relationships were (unfortunately) frowned upon in the US.
