'People expect us to crawl under a rock of shame and die' Knox says of their notoriety.

They’ve each been involved in notorious criminal cases. Now, Amanda Knox and Lorena Bobbitt Gallo are finding common ground over their shared infamy by teaming up for a live podcast episode.

Bobbitt, who currently uses her birth name Lorena Gallo, became a household name and late-night punchline in 1993 after severing then-husband John Wayne Bobbitt’s penis as he slept and tossing it into a field. The attack, she explained, was prompted by her husband’s alleged rape and years of domestic abuse. She was found not guilty due to insanity and now works as a domestic violence advocate.

“You don't see shamed and vilified women coming forward and supporting each other, reclaiming narratives and calling into account all those forces that are turning us into characters that are in morality plays and exploiting our trauma for the sake of profit and entertainment.”
