John After the incident, John attempted to generate money from his renown by forming a band, The Severed Parts, to pay his mounting medical and legal bills, although the band was unsuccessful and failed to generate enough money. In September 1994, he appeared in the
adult film John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut in another attempt to make money. In 1996, he appeared in another adult film,
Frankenpenis (also known as ''John Wayne Bobbitt's Frankenpenis''). After the attack and acquittal, it was revealed that John was the father of a son, Andrew Williams, born in 1992 to Beatrice Williams of
Niagara Falls,
New York. She had been in a romantic relationship with John that ended in May 1992. In 1994, John was charged with striking Kristina Elliott, a 21-year-old former
exotic dancer he met while in
Las Vegas,
Nevada on a publicity tour. At the time, Elliot had been engaged to John, but after the event she broke off the engagement. On August 31, 1994, he was convicted of
battery and sentenced to fifteen days in jail (75% of the original 60 day sentence was suspended). "I firmly believe you have an attitude problem,"
Justice of the Peace William Jansen told John. "Your attitude problem is caused by your drinking." On August 10, 1998, John appeared on the
World Wrestling Federation (now WWE)'s
Monday Night Raw is War television program, where he was featured with
Val Venis. Not long after, he moved to Las Vegas and worked as a bartender, limo driver, mover, pizza delivery driver, and tow-truck operator. He also had a stint serving at a wedding chapel as a
minister of a local
Universal Life Church. In 2014, John was hospitalized in an intensive care unit as a result of a car accident in
Buffalo, New York. Bobbitt was not held responsible after an investigation determined the accident was caused by another motorist failing to heed a red light. In 2024, John said that he had his toes amputated as a result of
toxic peripheral polyneuropathy, which he speculated was the result of his exposure to
toxic waters at
Camp Lejeune when he served there in the 1980s. He said that the amputations alongside developing
osteomyelitis had left him unable to work.
Lorena After the trial, Lorena attempted to keep a low profile and reverted to the use of her maiden name, Gallo. In October 1996, she visited her native country Ecuador, where she met with then-
President Abdalá Bucaram for an official dinner. Some time later the two would baptize a child as
a godmother and a godfather. Bucaram was criticized for inviting Lorena to the dinner. In December 1997, Lorena made news when she was charged with assault for punching her mother, Elvia Gallo, as they watched television. She was eventually acquitted of assault, and her mother continued to live with her. In 2007, she was working at a
beauty salon in
Washington, D.C., and, the same year, founded Lorena's Red Wagon organization, which helps prevent domestic violence through family-oriented activities. In June 2008, Lorena appeared on the
CBS News program
The Early Show, where she talked about her life since the incident. In the interview, she said that she was in a long-term relationship with a man named Dave Bellinger and that they had a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
Joint public appearance Although Lorena told
Oprah Winfrey in April 2009 that she had no interest in talking to John, During that meeting, John apologized to her for the way he treated her during their marriage. John claimed that he still loved her and continued to send her
Valentine's Day cards and flowers. == Legacy and depiction in popular culture ==
