What started as a whirlwind romance between Lorena Bobbitt and John Wayne Bobbitt quickly unraveled into one of the most infamous true crime cases of the 1990s. After years of alleged abuse behind closed doors, a shocking act in June 1993 catapulted the couple into a media frenzy that blurred the line between scandal and tragedy. As late-night jokes and sensational headlines dominated the story, the deeper issues of domestic violence and trauma were often overlooked. In this episode, we revisit the case that captivated the nation and the complicated truth behind the headlines of the Lorena Bobbitt trial👀
