John & Lorena: The Shocking Bobbitt Reunion

It's the reunion no one thought would ever happen: John Wayne Bobbitt and Lorena Bobbitt -- together again! Only Victoria Recano and "The Insider" has the infamous newsmakers facing off in the same room, 16 years after Lorena mutilated her husband!

"It was one of the most terrifying things I ever went through," says John.

"You drove me crazy," Lorena tells her former husband. "You drove me insane. No woman should go through that I went through."

It was back in June of 1993 that the world heard their incredibly horrific story: After a fight, Lorena cut off her husband's manhood with a knife while he was asleep, then fled and threw it out of her car window. Later, Lorena's trial was carried live, and after the stunning testimony, she was ultimately found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.

"John, you did a lot of things to me that were very painful," says Lorena.

"I didn't really understand how sensitive you really are," responds John. "You are really sensitive and you take things really seriously."

In separate confession cams, both parties recall that fateful night.

"I don't remember what happened the night of the incident, because I was insane, I was crazy, call it whatever -- but I was temporary insane," says Lorena. "I went to the kitchen, that's what I remember. I don't remember anything exactly what I did after I went to the kitchen."

"I woke up bleeding and I didn't know if I was awake or asleep," says John. "It was a life-and-death situation, what I was going through. There was so much blood that I was losing. I was confused, scared, terrified -- I was a lot of things all at once."

When asked if he raped his wife, John says, "No. I didn't rape my wife. I didn't rape anybody."

While their stories may differ, Lorena has turned her painful memories into hope: LorenasRedWagon.com.

"I started Lorena's Red Wagon Foundation to help abused women," says Lorena. "To help women that are trapped in domestic abuse and domestic violence. And I want to help them because I lived through it, and through my experience I know exactly what they're going through."

Watch "The Insider" Monday for day two of this incredible story: Their wedding day disaster -- and a restraining order?

  • I do not think that clinton should have had his penis cut off because he did not rape anyone. I do believe that Monica Lewinsky's life was ruined in some ways. Lorena on the other hand should have been deported. We have a justice department. She would have had access to all sorts of help that rape victims are given including help in relocating. (I ought to know) and the judicial system would have made his life miserable or put him in jail. Also, she obviously has not grown up or gained a little sanity because instead of just saying that she felt justified at the time because he hurt and scared her, the bitch is still stuck on stupid. Lorena, you shouldn''t wear stupid after all of these years.

  • I remember watching the trials and not knowing what could drive a woman to do something like that...I had met John after the whole Lorena thing......John was engaged to my step-sister and I feel she did him wrong also...To me, John is a sweet and kind-hearted man who was wrongly accused of rape and mental abuse! If anyone has ever met him, they could tell you the same, that is-unless you were one of the money hungry people who were out for the fame!!!

  • Lorena was great!! I think men who don´t agree with her actions are the ones like her husband, men who enjoy feeling stronger than women and abusing them Any real man who respects a woman will support her.
    Once again 16 years later ...Bravo Lorena!

  • LOL @ Still claiming she doesn't remember doing it. Bull-Crap. If she was technically insane and blocked it out, she would have had to undergo therapy and with therapy - she would have been forced to remember doing it. That's such crap

  • she was wrong, period.
    Her "insanity" plead was nothing but her legal advise to win the case. she knew what she was doing. she insults my inteligence.

  • I agree, cut her breast off. If you want to get away with the act, just say: "I dont remember" and claim "temporary insanity"....how funny, she remembers all the abuse, all the rape and hits but not the mutilation... come on, Lorenna!

  • I admire this woman....if more women that were abused would do something like this to their offenders ( being strangers or husbands, boyfriends, whatever) maybe men would learn to respect them.

  • John Bobbit is still lying and it is so very obvious here on this interview. You can tell by the way he wont look her in the eyes and now the world knows he lied and got what any rapist deserves. Now time to forgive him.

  • Yeah- I don't have a penis- but if I did- and someone cut it off- I wouldn't be getting back with them anytime soon. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.
