Remember the headlines and scandals of the 90’s? Katie’s dives in on the 1997 headline of the Heaven’s Gate Cult where 39 members wore matching Nike’s (so 90’s!) and drank poisonous applesauce, giving their lives in hopes that an alien spacecraft would come and take them to the Kingdom of Heaven. It was one of the first cults that used the internet to find new members, and led to the largest mass suicide on US soil in history!

Heather tells the story of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt, married in 1989, whose relationship made headlines in 1993 when Lorena cut off John’s wiener schnitzel with a knife while he was asleep in bed! John later went on to star in adult films!

Grab your 90’s bowl hair cut photos and let’s go back to a time when it was the popular cult style, wearing matching Nike shoes with your friends really made a statement, and reattaching a male body part made headlines for months!

Life. Was. Scandalous!
