Hell Hath No Fury:Lorena Bobbit Redux?

Rate: 0 Flag

 A 48 year old Orange County woman allegedly drugged her estranged husband, tied him to the bed, and cut off his penis, threw the willy into the garage disposal and flipped on.  Catherine Kieu Becker says he deserved it. 

Hell hath no fury… Now, I generally avoid blaming victims but you gotta wonder…What could this guy have done to incite this kind of reaction?

Was she channeling Lorena Bobbit?

Back in 1993, Lorena Bobbit surgically removed her husband’s member with a kitchen knife. Realizing the gravity of the situation, she called 911 after throwing the penis from her car window. Following an all points bulletin, said appendage was found, put on ice, and returned to its owner, one John Wayne Babbit who tried, unsuccessfully to use his reattached penis to garner fame and fortune.

So what ever happened to John and Lorena? Following a trial marked by testimony about a rather volatile relationship, Lorena was found guilty by reason of insanity and ordered to spend 45 days of evaluation in a Virginia facility.  Witnesses for the defendant provided testimony concurring with Lorena’s accusations of abuse though an earlier statement to cops, “He always has orgasms and he doesn’t wait for me to have orgasms!” raised more than a few eyebrows! 

Lorena went on to start a foundation Lorena’s Red Wagon to combat domestic violence through family activities.

We can’t say the same about John Wayne Bobbit.  Following surgery to reattach his Johnson, Mr. Bobbit started a band known as “Severed Parts,” and has appeared in a couple of adult films which capitalized on his unfortunate experience. “John Wayne Bobbit, Uncut” and “John Wayne Bobbit, Frankenpenis…” I kid you not. Bobbit relocated to (where else?) Las Vegas where he worked a series of odd jobs, including a stint as minister in a wedding chapel. He has been arrested seven times, for everything from assault to grand larceny when he lifted $140 K of clothing from a Nevada retailer.  He was convicted of misdemeanor domestic battery against his fiancée in 1995. Subsequent trials for domestic violence with a  third wife resulted in one conviction and an acquittal. A third charge was dropped due to insufficient evidence.

Back in the OC, the most recent severed penis man awaits surgery while his estranged wife Catherine awaits a court date, arrested for suspicion of aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, and spousal abuse.

It will be interesting to see how things firm up…(Couldn’t resist!)
