On the second episode of “The Real World Homecoming: New York,” Becky revealed a huge secret she’s kept for nearly 30 years. Apparently, during the original season of “The Real World,” there was a secret eighth roommate living in the loft: John Lennon.
Becky (who now goes by Rebecca Blasband) told the other cast members that during shooting of the landmark reality TV series, the then-24-year-old singer-songwriter was in the midst of a decades-long creative partnership with the ghost of the former Beatle.

“It got more and more real and what happened was we realized that we could hear each other very clearly.
