John Wayne Bobbitt, who made headlines in 1993 when his then-wife Lorena Bobbitt sliced off his penis, has now had all his toes amputated. The former Marine opened up about the amputations in an interview with The Sun, where he revealed he was diagnosed with toxic peripheral polyneuropathy after being exposed to contaminated water at the Camp Lejeune military training facility in the late 1980s. According to the Foundation For Pn, the condition can result in pain, tingling, and numbness in the feet, as well as weakness and difficulty walking. In some cases, it can also cause gastrointestinal symptoms, central nervous system involvement, optic neuropathy, muscle lesions, or other systemic involvement. As a result, Bobbitt underwent several operations to remove his toes. He told The Sun that he had his remaining toes amputated in 2023. He now wears prosthetic shoes, walks with a limp, and has no sensations in his feet due to the nerve damage.
