After Lorena Bobbitt snapped and cut off her husband John Wayne Bobbitt’s penis with a kitchen knife in 1993, the extensive abuse she had endured from him seemed to sail into that empty field along with the soon-to-be-infamous severed organ. Her trauma would barely be an afterthought of the sordid story in the public’s eyes. Remarkably candid revelations from Lorena (now Gallo) detail what life was truly like inside the eye of the post-incident hurricane. And a powerful one-on-one conversation with Amanda Knox enables Lorena to compare the most dramatic kind of notes with another woman who’s had her life hijacked and redefined by a media frenzy. In addition to Lorena being ultra-transparent about the abuse she suffered at the hands of John during their marriage, she also reveals that she is shockingly still being harassed by him—and their toxic relationship continues to this day. Decades after the crime that launched a million punchlines, Lorena is now reclaiming her narrative by giving a powerful voice to the traumatic parts of her story that the media and public largely ignored after the infamous slicing incident. The world is finally beginning to truly understand that there were two victims in the apartment that night—and Lorena’s story is one of survival and transformation. Of course, Lorena always knew her truth. In this documentary, she shares a never-before-seen perspective on a legendary story people thought they knew. There was much more to the Bobbitt saga than what the tabloids and late-night comics made people believe. And there’s much, much more to the woman at the heart of all the cheap jokes and bitter drama. Lorena has been to hell and back, and she’s ready to tell all…
