On June 23, 1993 Lorena Bobbitt chops off the penis of her sleeping husband, John Wayne Bobbitt, with a kitchen knife. She flees their home, tossing the severed organ from her car window as she drives away.
Bleeding profusely, John had a friend drive him to Prince William Hospital in Manassas, Virginia. Meanwhile, police officers went searching for the severed organ. After speaking with Lorena, they found it in a field across from a 7-Eleven convenience store. They reportedly put it on ice from the store, wrapped it in a hot-dog bag and rushed it to the hospital. A team of surgeons managed to reattach it in a nine-and-a-half-hour operation.
Bobbitt would later demonstrate how well he’d healed by appearing in several pornographic films.
After the attack, Lorena Bobbitt, then 24 and an immigrant from Ecuador, alleged that her 26-year-old husband had raped her earlier that night and subjected her to years of abuse during their marriage. He was later tried for marital sexual assault but acquitted by a jury. She was tried for malicious wounding and also found not guilty, in her case by reason of insanity. She was committed to a psychiatric hospital for observation and released after 45 days.
The couple’s made-for-the-tabloids saga would inspire countless newspaper and magazine articles, multiple television documentaries and tasteless jokes for decades to come.
The couple divorced in 1995.

What a sad event….
Cut off in his prime.
Always go to bed with anger issues resolved.
And kitchen knives under lock and key
And when she tossed it out the window, it bounced off the windshield of the car behind her.
The woman passenger in the car said “What the hell was that?”
Her husband answered “It must have been a bug.”
The woman said “Did you see the size of its dick?”
And for the next five years every hack comic in America had the same five minute block of material. It was relentless.
1993……… isn’t then MGTOW was started?
Actually, PGTOW: Penis Go Their Own Way
Didn’t the docs add a couple inches to the grafted on “Franken-penis”? He may have schtupped Stormy in her younger days. Rubbin’ weinies by proxy with #45…
Hey, we all did Stormy, right? right?
“Eskimo Brothers”
Between the look on his face in that pre mutilation photo and his post mutilation effort to launch a porn career off the incident…I’d have to say he had it coming all along.
What a coincidental last name.
She turned him into a democrat.
Had he really been abusing her for years? If so and it’s likely that he was that is another short coming of society. Why are these men allowed to get away with this? Surely she told one or more persons, and they even seen it or signs of it themselves. Did they report it? Men that do this ruin marriages and the idea of marriage.
i had an insurance client who was a wife beater —
one day he had beaten her and then he went to the bedroom and crashed —
bad decision —
if i remember correctly she mixed together lye and bleach and threw it on his face and front side —
i met him after this had occurred –he was blind and scarred terribly from his face down his neck,chest,stomach,and probably lower —
she did about 3 years for it —
