“From Executive Producer Jordan Peele, this four-part docuseries investigates the events of 1993, where Lorena Bobbitt sliced off her husband’s penis after years of abuse. John and Lorena Bobbitt’s stories exploded into a 24-hour news cycle. She became a national joke, her suffering ignored by the male-dominated press. But as John spiraled downward, Lorena found strength in the scars of her ordeal.”
I was only 9 years old when this happened but somehow I have an extremely vivid memory of the events - more specifically I clearly remember Lorena’s “actions” becoming the punch line for the majority of the jokes my friend and I would tell at school. I guess that’s what happens when you go through the majority of grade school in Florida. Check out the official trailer for the brand-new Prime documentary series Lorena below!!
