Amazon Prime's 'Lorena': John Wayne Bobbitt and his time in the spotlight after his wife severed his penis
John Wayne Bobbitt became famous in the United States and the world over as the man who got his penis sliced off by his wife one drunken night in Manassas, Virginia. The case is even more famous now, especially after the release of Amazon Prime's 'Lorena', but the man is probably not too happy with how it has portrayed him. It all started one night after spending time with his friend drinking. The then 26-year-old went home to his wife, Lorena, and then said that he felt a tugging sensation in his groin.
The stupidly drunk man would realize in some time after that that his then 24-year-old wife had sliced off his penis with a 12-inch knife that she took from their kitchen when she went to drink water in the middle of the night. The fateful day was June 23, 1993.
