'I Was Lorena Bobbitt': Fans chant 'cut it off' and can't believe John got into porn after penis was chopped
Lorena and John Bobbitt's shocking story grabbed eyeballs in 1993 when Lorena cut off her then-husband's penis with a knife after years of alleged domestic abuse and marital sexual assault. She was then taken into a trial, where she was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Meanwhile, John's penis was surgically reattached after a nine-and-a-half-hour long operation and he later went on to star in two pornographic films in the 1990s. Reports say that he claims his penis is now "back to normal". Featuring their chilling tale on celluloid, Dani Montalvo stars as Lorena Bobbitt and Luke Humphrey stars as John Bobbitt in a Lifetime movie 'I Was Lorena Bobbitt'.
After watching the jaw-dropping story unfold on screen, viewers can't stop dishing out their opinion about the entire fiasco. Many simply chanted, "CUT IT OFF! CUT IT OFF! CUT IT OFF! CUT IT OFF! CUT IT OFF! #IWasLorenaBobbitt," while watching the film. Others were talking about whether or not cutting off his penis was the right thing to do.
"All the men could think of was that her cutting off his penis was the most heinous thing ever. They didn't care what he'd done to her. They had sympathy bc to them, even rape and beating didn't deserve having your penis cut off #IWasLorenaBobbitt," one viewer posted and another said, "John Bobbit is lucky Lorena didn't kill his a**. I can't believe the porn industry let this motherf*****r in for a fleeting 15 minutes. #IWasLorenaBobbitt."
Reflecting on the aftermath of the incident, one fan posted, "Lorena went on to be a social justice warrior for abuse survivors OUT of the spotlight. John Bobbitt did the complete opposite," and another said, "I normally don't talk to dumbasses but just so you know she wasn't his only victim he beat up 2 of girlfriends of his and beat the hell out of his 2nd ex-wife because a**holes like him never change #IWasLorenaBobbitt."
Another posted, "What's being made clear here is that John *enjoyed* assaulting her. He didn't want consensual sex. He got off on her fear and causing her pain #IWasLorenaBobbitt," and one tweet read, "If more men had a healthy fear of getting their d**ks chopped off, I'd bet they'd move differently. #IWasLorenaBobbitt."
Recalling the time when he met John, one viewer wrote, "Saw #IWasLorenaBobbitt trending and it reminded me of the time during the 90’s I met John Wayne Bobbitt in Las Vegas .... he didn’t find it funny when I asked him, 'How's it hanging?'" Another said, "The b*****d beat her up, rapes her, forces her to have an abortion, oh yeah I would have done much worse than kill him #IWasLorenaBobbitt."
Some felt it was the right thing to do. "I'm not watching, but my whole TL is people chanting CUT IT OFF, and honestly, Lorena is an icon. F**k rapists, f**k rapist apologists. Less rape, more cutting d**ks off. If I had cut my rapist's d**k off he wouldn't have been able to rape the next 3 women. #IWasLorenaBobbitt."
Ripped from the Headlines feature premiere of 'I Was Lorena Bobbitt' was a Memorial Day special on Lifetime that aired on Monday, May 25, at 8 pm ET/PT.
