PASSION: The Truth Behind the Tabloids: The Lorena Bobbitt Case

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.
