Untold Truth: Lorena Bobbitt Story & Domestic Abuse Advocacy Today
Do you remember a time when a single news story dominated headlines and late-night comedy for months? The case of John Wayne Bobbitt and Lorena Bobbitt, forever etched in the annals of infamy, did just that.
In June 1993, the world was captivated and horrified by the news that Lorena Bobbitt had severed her husband John's penis with a kitchen knife. The incident, which took place in Manassas, Virginia, instantly transformed the couple into household names, albeit for the most shocking of reasons. Lorena then threw the severed organ out of the car window into a field, sparking a frantic search before it was successfully recovered and surgically reattached. The story became a media frenzy, a lurid tale that titillated and appalled in equal measure. But beneath the sensationalism and the relentless jokes, lay a far more complex and disturbing reality.
