All that really kind of took the whole thing down for me. What do you mean, took it down? I just think the whole thing could just become ludicrous and that did the whole situation an injustice at several levels. You know, it ignored the real pain and the suffering that these two people had experienced and inflicted on each other.
I can tell you the very next day after it happened there was a media lawyer in the hospital who managed to sign John up. So they were all over him like bees on honey because they could smell a profit. The hospital and all of the other doctors and nurses were given nothing. You guys never got paid for that? We never got paid a nickel, because all of his debts going forward, from the time of his injury, were subject to bankruptcy action.
I think they both have been abused, for the benefit of their handlers. What did you think about when you heard John was doing pornography and making money off of that? A credit to your work, perhaps? I was disappointed in, I think it was the second porn film, Frankenpenis , that the surgical result was seriously damaged by liposuction and some kind of an enhancement procedure.
So it was a mixed progression. To what extent are you able to laugh about it when you talk about it with friends or colleagues?
Oh, absolutely. There was one very funny one that might have been on a late-night show. I didn't know how to explain the story. Multiple witnesses testified that they saw John Bobbitt physically abuse Lorena Bobbitt. Other witnesses testified that they had seen bruises on Lorena Bobbitt and were told John Bobbitt had caused them. The prosecution argued that Lorena attacked the person she thought was threatening her dream to live in America because John wanted to divorce her.
She wanted to-- everything that she dreamed about. And it was falling apart. And she wanted either to keep it together. If she couldn't, then she was going to retaliate. On Jan. She was ordered to spend five weeks at a mental hospital for treatment and evaluation.
That she just-- how can somebody get away with it? She was just greedy, selfish and she was stubborn. After his stint as an adult film star, John Bobbitt went on to work a number of odd jobs, including construction work and truck driving.
He also faced a number of domestic battery charges brought against him by two other women and served some jail time for them. He denied all of these allegations to ABC News. Meanwhile, Lorena returned to a quiet life as a manicurist in Manassas and became an advocate for domestic violence survivors.
In , she started a foundation that raises money for domestic abuse victims and their children. Today, John Bobbitt still lives in Las Vegas and has since pursued other passions, including searching for the famed Fenn Treasure, rumored to be hidden somewhere in the Rocky Mountains by a New Mexico art dealer and collector named Forrest Fenn.

After the incident, John and Lorena filed for divorce, which was finalized in In the years that followed, to pay for his mounting medical and legal bills, John formed a band called The Severed Parts and even starred in two pornographic films.
He subsequently moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he had brief stints working as a bartender, mover, limo driver, tow-truck operator, and minster at a local wedding chapel. John even held various construction jobs and was part of a circus as a knife thrower for a short while. Throughout this time, though, John kept having run-ins with the law. Some of his story was featured in Amazon's documentary series Lorena , that dove into the story.
Bobbitt was able to have his penis reattached after Gallo cut it off, and it's been documented in various interviews. Jim Sehn, who performed the surgery, shared his memories of the event in an article by The Cut. Beware: the interview is graphic and details the severed organ, along with how much it affected Sehn. It's really horrifying. Though you quickly recover, as a surgeon.
