Lorena Bobbitt gained notoriety in 1993 for cutting off her husband's 🍆 with a kitchen knife while he slept. Her ex husband's name was John Wayne Bobbitt. According to Lorena Bobbitt, her ex husband had physically and s3xuaIIy abus3d her throughout their marriage. On the night of June 23, 1993, Lorena claims that her ex husband came home drunk and SA'd her. In response, she went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and cut off his 🍆. Lorena then fled the scene in her car, with the severed 🍆 still in her possession. She eventually threw it out of the car window into a field, but it was later found by authorities and reattached to John's body in a lengthy surgical procedure. The incident garnered widespread media attention and became the subject of intense public debate about DV and SA. Lorena was charged with “malicious wounding”, but was eventually found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. Today, Lorena Bobbitt is reportedly living a private life in Virginia, where she remains active in advocating for DV and SA survivors.
