I Am Mary Jo Buttafuoco

For the first time ever, Mary Jo Buttafuoco tells her story in her own words. In May 1992, outside her Long Island home, Mary Jo (Chloe Lanier) was shot in the head by 17-year-old Amy Fisher (Maddy Hillis) — the mistress of her husband, Joey Buttafuoco (Dillon Casey). As tabloids sensationalized the scandal and dubbed Fisher the "Long Island Lolita," Mary Jo lay in the hospital fighting for her life. This powerful installment of Lifetime's I Am franchise reveals why Mary Jo and Joey remained married for seven years after the shooting, the lasting physical and emotional impact of the bullet that remains lodged in her head, and how she has found resilience and peace amid unimaginable trauma.
