It's never too late to reconsider the facts.
If you're a true crime fan or arab new sex videoswere, y'know, alive in 1993, then chances are you've heard of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt — the infamous couple who took tabloids by storm thanks to a severed penis.
Executive producer Jordan Peele's new four-part docuseries, Lorena,asks modern viewers to reevaluate where now Lorena Gallo and her shocking actions on "that night" reside within our collective memory and sympathy. That request is one worth granting.
The 1990s were a dramatic time for headlines, particularly within the crime realm. Nancy Kerrigan's shattered knee, O.J. Simpson's infamous white Bronco, and JonBenét Ramsey's macabre glamor shots plastered tabloid covers for much of the decade and continue to darkly fascinate through modern retellings.
Still, Lorena Bobbitt's non-lethal assault of John Wayne Bobbitt stole more than a few primetime news slots then and remains memorable now. After all, a wife took a kitchen knife to her husband's penis in the middle of the night, drove away with the detached appendage, and then blindly flung it into a field. That's not an easy narrative (or image) to move on from.
Yet, the details surrounding this moment of horror too often seem hazy or forgotten. Despite plenty of in-depth and arguably invasive coverage, the Bobbitts survive in modern memory as the stars of a crude, farcical, phallic-centric scandal — the specifics of their respective ordeals regularly omitted or relegated to shorthand. For many, the bullet points of the incident include the basic facts of the assault and subsequent reattachment surgery, some vague recollections of a domestic abuse claim, and possibly the names of John's two post-fame porn films.
What is glaringly lacking from the modern collective consciousness is the valuable and somewhat appalling insight the Bobbitt incident provides into our ever-evolving understanding of social justice. In what appears to be an attempt to right that wrong, Peele's docuseries parses through the lesser known aspects of the notorious event, highlighting the harsh realities of domestic violence, xenophobia, sexism, and sensationalized media that shaped how the world now sees Lorena and her motivation to brutally assault her husband.
The series' collection of expert perspectives and witness interviews, including both John and Lorena, offers viewers a chance to reexamine the issue at hand through a more educated and complete viewfinder. How sympathetic you find Lorena and John at the story's end will likely depend heavily on your interpretation of the information presented, although Peele has made it clear his series is in support of her.
“When we hear the name ‘Bobbitt’ we think of one of the most sensational incidents to ever be catapulted into a full blown media spectacle,” Peele told Varietyin April. “With this project, Lorena has a platform to tell her truth as well as engage in a critical conversation about gender dynamics, abuse, and her demand for justice. This is Lorena’s story and we’re honored to help her tell it.”
It's difficult to boil the 1993 incident down to one of its many complex narrative components. Lorena Gallo was never the perfect victim, John Wayne Bobbitt was never the perfect villain, and vice versa. The story, as it stands now, is still as messy and torturous as it was 26 years ago, but Lorena makes one thing crystal clear: This has always been about a lot more than a penis, and we still have a lot to learn.
