What a Creep: Joey Buttafuoco & John Wayne Bobbitt Season 10, Episode 1 90s Tabloid Creeps Joey Buttafuoco The name alone became a punchline—Buttafuoco! In the summer of 1992, America was obsessed with this trashy tale from Long Island about a murderous teenager and her dumb, muscle pants-wearing lover. This scandal had everything, sex, escort services, autobody shops, a Howard Stern interview, and secret videotapes which the tabloid media covered breathlessly for over a year.

REELZ: "Scandal Made Me Famous" Rolling Stone   John Wayne Bobbitt In 1993, the John Wayne and Lorena Bobbitt scandal was a tabloid dream come true. After suffering years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, Lorena cut off John’s penis. It was a sensational story, but what we missed in all the coverage was the fact that John Wayne Bobbitt was an abusive prick.
