John Wayne Bobbitt, who attainted notoriety in 1993 after his then-wife severed his penis while he slept, has now lost 10 more appendages - his toes. 

Bobbitt has been diagnosed with toxic peripheral polyneuropathy after being exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune military base in North Carolina in the late 1980s. 

The condition causes nerve damage to extremities, which has led to the amputation of his toes over a period of several years. The last few digits were removed in 2023.

Bobbitt, who is now 57 and a former Marine said that he now has just two stumps for feet and needs special prosthetic shoes.

The condition has left him experiencing chronic infections and painful skin issues.

Bobbitt also says his experiences at Camp Lejeune impacted both his physical health including his cognitive functioning and mental well-being which he believes may have affected the relationship with his ex-wife Lorena.

'I wasn't behaving the way I should have. Maybe I would have made better decisions if my cognitive functioning wasn't distorted by the chemicals,' he told The Sun

The Camp Lejeune contamination has been described as 'one of the worst water contamination cases in US history' and saw oil, industrial wastewater, and toxic chemicals all knowingly dumped in local storm drains at the army base between 1952 and 1987, contaminating the local water supply for 35 years. 

'They knew. They were testing the water and it was like up to 3,500 times above normal safety standards,' Bobbitt said. 

In 1993, Lorena Bobbitt famously accused him of raping and beating her before the shocking incident in which she sliced off his penis with a kitchen knife in their Virginia home. 

She then jumped in her car and drove to her bosses house throwing her husband's penis out of the window into a field, before calling police and confessing to what she had just done.

Incredibly, authorities were able to locate it after Lorena described the exact location. 

Doctors were able to salvage and reattach it during the course of a nine-hour surgery. 

Bobbitt says it has returned to 'normal' function and was even able to start a career as a porn star in 2013 in which he claims to have slept with more than 70 women.

Lorena was charged with malicious wounding. At her trial, she took the stand and was later acquitted by reason of temporary insanity. 

She was sent to a mental hospital where she was discharged after a month.

John Wayne Bobbitt was charged with marital sexual assault. In a 1994 trial, he was acquitted and he continues to assert his innocence.
