Lorena Bobbitt Returns to Former Work as Manicurist
ARLINGTON. Va. — Lorena Bobbitt is cutting again--fingernails that is--in her former job as a manicurist.
Bobbitt has worked for about two weeks as a manicurist at a small hair salon in northern Virginia, salon owner Irma Wheeler said Wednesday.
In a brief interview with the Arlington Journal, Bobbitt said her customers have been pleasant. “They know who I am, and I know they know who I am,” she said.
The shop is about 20 miles from the apartment where Bobbitt severed her husband’s penis as he slept in June, 1993.
Bobbitt admitted cutting John Wayne Bobbitt, saying he had raped and emotionally tortured her. A jury found her not guilty of malicious wounding by reason of insanity.
