Episode 149: The True Story of Lorena Bobbitt

It's Valentine's Day, coven! And nothing says true love like a woman saving herself from her abuser. The story of Lorena Bobbitt is a muddled one, evoking images of an angry, jealous woman who exacted her revenge by cutting off her husband's penis. The true story, however, is much more sinister. John Wayne Bobbitt, while quite simple-minded, was anything but innocent. In the words of Cell Block Tango, "He had it coming," just not in the way he hoped. Tonight, we'll explore John and Lorena's short and rocky marriage, dig into John's extensive history of abuse, and discover what Lorena did with that penis after she cut it off. We'll talk about each of their subsequent trials and learn where they are today in the aftermath of a case that rocked the nation. Happy Haunting!
