In 1993, Lorena Bobbitt became a fixture in the zeitgeist when she cut off her then-husband, John’s, penis while he slept. Now, a new Amazon docuseries from executive producer Jordan Peele (Get Out) titled Lorena explores the story behind the infamous case: What led Bobbitt to do what she did and how has the perspective of the case shifted in the wake of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements?
In the four-part docuseries, Bobbitt personally sheds light on her public nightmare and revisits the missed opportunity for starting a cultural conversation on domestic and sexual abuse her experience proposed.
