John Wayne Bobbitt, whose penis was cut off by his wife in a high-profile case in the 1990s, underwent the last amputation of his remaining toes last year, The Sun reported Saturday, along with photos of his feet.
He attributed the amputations to toxic peripheral polyneuropathy, a condition he was diagnosed with due to drinking contaminated water at North Carolina's Camp Lejeune military base, where he spent time as a Marine in the 1980s.
The condition damages the nerves, resulting in numbness and weakness. He said it caused him nerve damage and osteomyelitis, a bone infection that leads to ulcers and requires skin grafts.
Bobbitt, who now lives in Sarasota, Florida, told the outlet he's undergone several operations on his toes throughout the years, which has left him unable to work.

Bobbitt and his ex-wife, Lorena Bobbitt, became tabloid fodder when she sliced off his penis while he slept and threw it out of a car window after allegedly being raped by him in 1993. She accused him of multiple acts of domestic violence.
Lorena Bobbitt was tried for the mutilation but was acquitted by reason of temporary insanity. John Bobbitt was found not guilty of marital sexual assault in a separate trial.
While speaking with The Sun, John Bobbitt suggested that his toxic peripheral polyneuropathy diagnosis played a part in how his relationship with Lorena Bobbitt ended.
"I wasn't behaving the way I should have," the 57-year-old said. "Maybe I would have made better decisions if my cognitive functioning wasn't distorted by the chemicals."

John Bobbitt, whose penis was reattached once it was found shortly after the incident, worked briefly in porn and made TV appearances. He also worked as a carpenter and driver.
Lorena Bobbitt, who now goes by her maiden name, Gallo, has been working as an advocate against domestic violence. The 53-year-old was the subject of a 2019 docuseries, "Lorena," which was executive produced by Jordan Peele.

Exactly, karma. Military personnel stationed at Camp Lejeune from 1975 to 1985 had at least a 20% higher risk for a number of cancers than those stationed elsewhere, federal health officials said Wednesday in a long-awaited study about the North Carolina base's contaminated drinking water.
i was referring to his apparel choices
Sure you and your seed are. Support Trump and get amputated, cosmic cause and effect.
nothing like getting your dick cut off
Exactly, amputation of any appendage is hilarious. Doesn’t matter the cause, cancer, diabetes, war wound, filthy water, all is good for a cheap laugh.
This little piggy went to Camp Lejuene
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had camp water,
This little piggy had none,
This little piggy cried "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way through surgery.
This little piggy died laughing on the floor
Really? Think I am some cold-hearted bastard arisen from the 80's and 90's?
I am sorry if this offends you. I am holding those facts at bay and remembering the past. Obviously, it is a different past than you are trying to bring forward. I really don't see how this should offend you, as you serially disrupt anything you wish.
It used to be funny to see a guy get his dick chopped off, cause you knew it was't real, ....until it was.
Finally, if he is a Marine, I am sorry. He will understand.
Nothing offensive about losing body parts. I lost four parts a couple of years ago, none external. When ever my wife and I think about it, we get a hoot.
Did you hear the one about the woman who had a bilateral mastectomy, it was a big weight off of her chest.

Yeah, my mother had one of those before she died of breast cancer.
Probably could, if he really wanted to
Mine died of ovarian cancer, my birth mother died of stomach cancer, you just have to laugh.
My mother started with ovarian cancer. She had them removed.
Then it was cervical cancer and they did a full hysterectomy.
Then it went to her breasts. Did the double mastectomy.
She got sent home with a clean bill of health in June. In July she was diagnosed with brain cancer and three weeks later she was dead.
Shows one how short life can be and how foolish it is to debate relative morbidity when the title of the article discussed begins with "John Wayne Bobbit"
Exactly, better to just laugh at the image of him hobbling for the rest of his years.
What we’ve got here …. Is failure to communicate a liberal narrative …. Some men you just can’t reach ….. so you get what we have here today …. Which is the way he wants it …. so he gets it. They like it more than you and me ……
I can't comment.
This is so hilarious.
Nothing funnier than losing your toes due to drinking federal government water while serving your country.
The back story, dude.
Front story to, cancer, early death, amputations, damn funny. Did you hear the one about a Marine that reported in with his family at Camp Lejuene and left missing…
Did you hear the one about the guy with absolutely no sense of humor?
Was his name Thomas?
I dunno. I heard he was some kind of Mooney
Yes, I remember when that happened, it certainly was a famous news story. But in my case it now reminds me of a murder case back in Ontario when I was 9 years old, and the murderer's trial was held in the city in which I was born and grew up. A woman named Mrs. Evelyn Dick was convicted of killing her husband and dismembering his body parts. We young kids at the time made up a chant that we would sing out in chorus back then:
"You cut off his head, you cut off his arms, you cut off his legs, how COULD you Mrs. Dick."
