Summary

Ep 17: In 1993, after years of alleged physical and sexual abuse, Lorena Bobbitt cut off her husband John’s penis with a knife while he was asleep in bed. The case made international news and tabloid headlines, a story so scandalous, it became inspiration for many SNL skits and late-night monologues. After making it through the Trial and ensuing media circus, Lorena was found not guilty due to temporary insanity. Today Lorena is a staunch advocate for survivors of domestic violence and served as an executive producer and narrator for the soon to be released, Lifetime film ‘I Was Lorena Bobbitt’.
