What is with these plea deals? Just because she survived does not change the girls intention!

Mary Jo spent her life pretending her marriage was perfect, she couldn't see he didn't love her. Holding on to a toxic relationship is so dangerous.

imagine shooting a woman for something that's her husbands fault, crazy

I'm glad she finally left him and found a nice normal guy who her daughter approves of. 😊

She survived, that’s important 💪🏾

I'm so glad for her. She has a chance to start a new life. I hope she'll marry that guy. She is blessed. Don't spend a single day pretending your marriage is perfect. I did that with my narcisssist ex-husband for 13 years and it led nowhere. Don't waste your life with a lost case.

Really hate the addiction to watch those killing stories

That coke habit was the red flag and she should have divorced him immediately.

What do these ladies see in this man, obviously something im not seeing 😂

I would have left the marriage after getting shot. Why was she trying to hold on to a loser?

Mary jo looks fabulous and she is one tough mama. I love her.

What is missing from this documentary is that when Amy got out, he went back to her 🤦🏻‍♀️

Some women don't want realize their husband are only a burden to them. They wait and wait, they take care and sacrifice their own lives to the end.. for what?

People who cheat don't realize that the whole family pays the price for their cruel actions. Joe is a nasty narcissist who did this to his family. I'm glad that Mary Jo is ok now and without that evil man.

Why am I addicted to watch these stories... 😓 next week are my examz but still am busy watching this 😂

Love how their hair styles got smaller and smaller as the years went by

the biggest lie that we are fed throughout our adolescence and young adulthood is that children will mature and settle you down, if one kid makes things worse why would two be any different. An immature self centered person does not change, not with marriage or rehab or parenthood

The daughter looked so familiar to me! Then I realised she had a podcast seres with Shane Dawson where she mentioned her mom getting shot. Crazy story! Thankfully the mom is okay 🙌🏼♥️

Joey budafuhooko was only in it for himself. He was a selfish guy who couldn't keep his pants up.

She really deserves better 😊 A nice goodlooking woman and mom! Hope she has a better life now!

It's incredible how women, in general, forget values, compassion, respect and so on, we become blind. It's very sad that this woman gave 100% of herself to this man. He was worthless. Glad to know she moved on. She deserves it ❤

I read a book written about "Mary Anne," aka Amy Fisher, the husband's lover. Amy thought the amount of time (5- 15 years) she got for shooting Mary Jo was unfair. Her reasoning - that Joe should have taken some of the responsibility because he promised he would leave Mary Jo for her. LOL

Never ask to stop, just leave. Make him think about if he is ok without you or he must stop and beg on his knees for you to return. Yet not return, they never change just make him see what he lost for not giving you the respect you deserve.

It seems to me Mary Jo did everything humanly possible to make the marriage work, but, ultimately, took the right decision to leave & has now found a partner worthy of her. As for her ex-husband, I see nothing but bad times ahead for him - old-age, loneliness, degradation...

I’m so glad you and your family have moved on. You deserve to be happy and feel secure. X

This man Joey is nuisance value at the most . People like him will never change and should never be trusted .

Hmmm... because of her husband... time to go looking for some more cats.

I'm happy she moved on with her life. Sometimes woman alow abuse because they think they will never love agian. Most of the time you love even better than before 😆😆

Shes a brave woman and an amazing mother to hide it from her kids while they were children.

It sounds like desperate house wives narration lol 😂

So glad to have watched this video, watched the movie about this long ago and very happy to see Mari Jo left him and now has a happy life.

Wow, the daughter's statements though..she still wanted her parents to stay together even after the fact....it really shows the very negative impact her dad had on the entire family . He cared nothing about his wife, what if Amy had gone after his kids instead? Would Jessica still have wanted her parents to stay together? I don't think so. That whole family is effed in the head. No clue what Mary Jo saw in him to stay with him for that long, he's not even handsome.

Its also shocking that amy and Joey dated again years later. Just wow

8:53 "when joey buttafuogo beat the COKE"🤔😂 am I the only one?

That man's surnames is Spatfires.... and the kind wife had her bonfire and she didn't deserved a man as such, glad she's alive to share her tales.

he looks like john belushi ... on a bad day

From all the series I watched on these marriages, this is the only woman who is completely adequate and acts adequately during the whole time. Not completely blinded and delusional. I am happy that she survived and found somebody new :)

Buttafuoco........his surname itself should have raised big sized red flags 🤣🤣🤣

@15:42 In know it was probably for the surgery BUT Mary Jo rocked the shaved side mullet look

I remember the non stop news, so happy to hear she's doing well

I admire Mary Jo. Such a strong, level headed woman.

I am really happy for Mary Jo. Everyone deserves a safe, loving relationship. I hope she’s found it.

New addition to the family never helped any.. If guys are abusive stop having kids with them.. I saw worse cases.. Wat a lovely lady... Sad that she faced coz of her husband

I really admire her... Does anyone else think she got much better looking with age?

I feel very deeply for all of these women who can't have happy family life

Thank you for your honesty Your a brave beautiful woman,💕 Australia

She find a better and handsomer one! Glad for her

Relationship and marriage are gamble. She dated 5 years, married 15 years ago and still didn't know the man she thought she knew.

I first heard his name in FRIENDS. This was the Joey they're referring to (who gave bad reputation to all Joeys) 😂

Dad n daughter mouth n jaw same

This whole story is a hot mess, it's tragic but wow

keep making more of these videos!

What a nice daughter, I am glad Mary has found some happiness.

Joey looks like the Young turks guy

This oneof the craziest cases i seen so far no doubt , that irony of faith in pure form .

As an Italian, the way they pronounce Buttafuoco is utterly disturbing :-)

Most women's biggest problem is the need to keep up appearances- it is a totally ridiculous concept and as we see time and again, it doesn't last.

Why do we get ENDLESS REPEATING...ENDLESS REPEATING of the same facts???........

He’s such a drop kick! She’s amazing 😉

my respect to mary jo.wishing her the best.

I saw the film Amy Fisher long time ago, and I could not believe that she stayed with his husband after knowing his infidelity. His coke addiction had to be a warning, but she instead wanted to believe that everything was ok and that he loved her. She learned the hard way.

Wow im 40 y.o. now and i remember my dad called me when i was young that he's in disneyland! Now i know.

The mother seems like such a beautiful soul. Hope she’s doing really well. Any women out there in love with a man like this pull the plug don’t lie to yourself

Lol that last name took me out! Butter sin co?🤣

The daughter is so annoying she’s on every talk show squawking as if that incident happened to her 🙄🙄

So this is how Amy fisher's career started huh?

I’m happy to hear that she is happy and her life is normal.

She has done so well to survive it all. The description when the piont was reached to leave him was similar to a lot of marriages including mine - what Ian Fleming who wrote teh James Bond books called the quantum of solace. When the quantum falls to zero then couples break up. That can be quite a long time coming particularly in Catholic marriages like hers and mine. (Not sure why anyone is criticising the daughter below in the comments - she was great)

What a story! So glad Mary Jo survived and was able to get away from this husband of hers.

There is this kind of guy who strategically puts his better half in all sorts of negative situation and dangers.

She should have left him when he broke his promise the first time

Why does this sound like an episode of Desperate Housewives?

She is still very beautiful 😍

I'm glad she has met a nice man

It took her 11 years to leave him 🤓

I thought this was going to be that he wanted her dead to be with his mistress so when he didn’t that was a surprise!

Thank you for not swearing all the way through that even though the title is a missing swear word.

Is he still in Disneyland?

Daughter is just like her father there's is something wrong about her poor woman

How do you have an 8 year engagement?!

So glad things are working out for her at long last. I wish her a long and happy future.

He is really a buttafuoco😁an italian word meaning throw fire😃

I remember the for TV movie about this when I was a kid. I remembered the name Amy Fisher, but now I‘m realizing what an unfortunate last name Mary Jo had...

She's beautiful and strong. An amazing woman and an example to us all.

Slutty or dissolute man & a woman with dignity who has cleansed her husband's sins for most of her life. But the popular proverb says: The grave will fix the hunchback! Wоnderful woman which deserve to be happy & have a right caring person beside her.

Am addicted to this type of series I watched true crime and finished all of them I try to get away but when I see one my addiction goes way back sometimes I feel like am addicted to such becoz I wanted to do a career related to justice but this ain't enough coz am also confused the addition may awake the dark side of me ,but one thing I wouldn't ever do its date a guy watches such kind of documentaries coz I would fear for my life ...haha I need to find something else to replace my addiction of crime documentaries

Okay yes what he did was wrong, nobody is denying that but what that girl Amy did was COMPLETELY inexcusable. She was not a victim imo.

She married Stu but i read that he died in 2018, so sorry for Mary, shes been through so much.

Reel Truth Crime maybe you could do something with the overlap ads . Can't read the text at end part...

Even that those case is tragic & are based on real, i can not help found them interesting 🙂

20:33 😂😂😂DTR is really cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Many tumbs up👍👍👍👍👍

Daughter is over acting 😏

Very strong lady! I'm glad that she is happy now with a new man on her side.

I've always thought Mary Jo was such a lovely woman.

One of the things that had always bother me back in the day was, how the late night comedians, talk show hosts, etc., made fun of Mary Jo's injuries. It doesn't matter how young Amy Fisher was, or how she wound up getting mixed up with MJB's husband. The fact of the matter was, she *SHOT* MJB right on MJB's *OWN DOORSTEP!!* The one area that should have been the safest place in the entire world for her. She left MJB with horrible injuries right in her face, & the late night talk shows & comedies mocked the poor woman. She could have been killed, & they made fun of her life-changing injuries.

Care giver to yourself... not for strange animalistic male.

It's interesting to hear her so open about drug abuse, but that she was so intent on keeping the image up later on. As a non-american, it does seem like there is all this pressure to be perfect and to deny an imperfect past. I don't know if that is or was the case in reality, but it does seem common. If true then it seems terribly sad and tiring to live that way.

She did all her best to keep her marriage continue with ex-husband..! She is brave and strong lady. She deserves a great life and mature partner help her moving forward.

"I believed him".....AS YOU ALWAYS DO🙄......
