But things are so much different with her second husband David “Dave” Bellinger who is the father of the couple’s young daughter.
“My body couldn’t take it. My mind couldn’t take it. I was very scared, so obviously I snapped,” she said. “I cut off his penis because he abused me that much. That’s what happens when a man pushes a woman so far and so low.”

She then got in her car and drove away, she only realized what she’ve done after she found her husband’s severed penis in her hand. She threw it out of the window.
She was terrified and called 911, John was rushed to the hospital and after a search party found his penis it took nine hours for doctors to reattached his organ. A jury found Lorena not guilty due to insanity causing an irresistible impulse to sexually wound Bobbitt, so she could not be held responsible for her actions. She was sentenced to undergo a 45-day evaluation period at Central State Hospital, in Petersburg, Virginia. She and Bobbitt divorced in 1995 and she never saw nor talked to him again.
