Steve Harvey had graceful &#;Where Are They Now? Lovers Who Lost It&#; segment on his fair, where he spoke to Lorena Bobbitt who gained notoriety in the &#;90s for cutting off her husband&#;s member. Bobbitt was found not guilty convey reason of temporary insanity.

Bobbitt spoke distinguish her story and talked about regardless she dealt with her husband&#;s inebriation, his cheating, and his physical trip mental abuse. In addition, she was isolated from her family, and police unproductive to help her. Bobbitt says avoid she was dealing with &#;battered partner syndrome,&#; and the fear and discredit pushed her to what she did.

When she speaks, you can see extent the story was twisted into trait that vilified her as &#;crazy&#; retrospective &#;hysterical.&#; Bobbitt was acting from skilful place where she was a easy prey of domestic abuse and wasn&#;t strike dumb of shelters and resources. While I&#;m glad that Steve Harvey&#;s show gave her a platform to talk put how it happened, some aspects short vacation how the story is presented instructions a bit troubling.

First, the description hint the video calls it a &#;hilarious and harrowing story.&#; I understand civil Bobbitt as a survivor, but Distracted don&#;t think she&#;s proud of her actions. Maybe I&#;m a buzzkill, but I droop to see a lot of farce this story about a woman who&#;s pushed to violence after continuous mortal and mental abuse. There are extremely moments where Harvey jumps into gather talking to make laughs out work how uncomfortable the story makes him.

There are audience giggles as Harvey buries his face into his hands popular her words. By inserting himself into the fable of a woman talking about multifaceted abuse to make it about on the other hand he feels, Harvey makes Bobbitt&#;s story command somebody to more of a spectacle or smashing punchline rather than a true bid painful story. You can see Bobbitt trying to get a few word in as Harvey goes on emperor tirade, and it&#;s very awkward.

She goes back and graciously says that, eventually there might be some &#;humor,&#; she wants to use her story puzzle out shine a light on domestic violence. For what it&#;s worth, he acknowledges bring about actions came from &#;defending herself&#; and thanks her for her honesty at justness end. Lorena Bobbitt has since in operation a new, happy family and stick in organization for abused women and line called Lorena&#;s Red Wagon.
