On a beautiful morning in 1992, Mary Jo Buttafuoco answered a knock on her door. Her life would forever be changed. This is the story that shocked a nation. Amy Fisher, wrongfully dubbed "The Long Island Lolita" by the media, was just a 17 year old girl who was groomed and manipulated by a 36 year old married man named Joey Buttafuoco. In this episode we change the narrative from "Amy Fisher: The Long Island Lolita" to "Mary Jo: The Long Island Bad Ass".
