Lorena Bobbitt became one of the most infamous women of the 1990s after she severed her husband John Bobbitt’s penis in 1993. But behind the sensational headlines was a harrowing story of domestic violence, marital rape, and a system that repeatedly failed her. Sabrina and Corinne unpack the Lorena Bobbitt case, unpacking the abuse, the trials, and the crime of passion that forever reshaped public conversations about gender-based violence.
