It was after midnight in 1993 when Lorena Bobbitt picked up a knife and did the unthinkable. What followed wasn’t just a headline-grabbing crime — it was a cultural firestorm that forced America to confront domestic abuse, marital rape, and the way women are treated in the justice system. Was Lorena a victim pushed past her breaking point, or a criminal defined by one shocking act?
🎧 In this episode, we explore:
• Lorena’s early life, marriage, and years of abuse
• The infamous night of June 23rd, 1993
• John Bobbitt’s injuries, survival, and sensational recovery
• The courtroom battles: her trial vs. his
• Media circus, late-night jokes, and cultural ridicule
• The psychological toll of trauma and survival
• How Lorena rebuilt her life and became an advocate for survivors
• Why her case still matters today — three decades later
🧠 This isn’t just a true crime case. It’s about power, survival, and the way society chooses who to believe.
📍 One woman. One act. A story that redefined victimhood in America.
