Mary Jo Buttafuoco Revisits The Infamous Case Of Amy Fisher 26 Years Later | Megyn Kelly TODAY
I would’ve gotten rid of that filthy last name and taken my maiden name back
Why not change her name. Amy did
Good idea!🤔
Her son did, she changed his last name.. he wants nothing to do with his father....
My first thought also, Mike!
Mike Smith you and I both
I’m dazzled by this interview. I wish nothing but the best for Mary Jo… what a resilient woman she is!!!
Good for Mary Jo! Glad she divorced him! She looks great after all these years.
annamal pete stfu
Ya that is true but... Her husband didn't shoot her ,Amy did. It's easier to be angrier at the person who almost took her life.
Wouldn't be surprised if he knew though.
annamal pete and she is a evil woman that who is capable of killing
Really?? She plumper than a Christmas turkey.. all that Botox I hope it doesn’t cause her nerve damage.
Mary - Jo does look great. Good for her.
Thank you Lord for sparring Mary's life!! She's a beautiful soul!!!
Michelle Robinson I agree! Best comment ever!👍🏻
All the glory to God!!!
She is way too good for Joey.
Kaththee1 Seriously? What’s wrong with you? She did nothing to “enable” Joey’s affair or to have his mistress shoot her in the face. Your implication is absolutely sickening.
2 good
To this day, I never answer the door for anyone unless it's someone I know.
I never answer the door I look thru window first I'm very cautionous about it I even lock my gate 24 7 çrazy people out there!
Thank God for ring doorbell camera
my cousin a microsurgeon at the time operated on her and help save her life. What a brave woman to speak about this horror.
Gisele Strauch wow
Tell him thank you for doing such a great job and saving her life!! Was he the only one who worked on her?
The surgeons did an amazing job- respect to them.
I am mary Joe's cousin tell him thank u for saving my cousin s life my cousin is a strong woman funny and very carring Amy mess with the wrong woman we are a very close family
@@mariemccabe7124 she is so beautiful! Her and Jess!
Is it weird to say she looks better now than she did in the 90s? Also I LOVE her personality. She seems like the type you’d dish harmless neighborhood gossip over margaritas with.
Plastic surgery.
@@teekolinski491reconstructive surgery but yes
I don't believe a nineteen year old girl would be so driven with jealousy against a forty year old woman without an older man playing with her emotions. I definitely think Amy should have payed for her horrific deed but the husband absolutely without a doubt orchestrated that crime!
A 13 year old is in prison for 20 years for stabbing his 4 Y.O little sister 17 times due to jealousy. He asked the babysitter to leave early and planned the entire thing. If you think 19 is too young I'm sure you don't believe that but it is VERY POSSIBLE.
Don't be silly.
Jealousy doesn't see age PERIOD. It only sees the person. The object. And unless you have been in big gap relationships, you aren't qualified to speak on them like an authority.
I met my husband in my early 20s and he was early 40s.
He was newly divorced. I was jealous of his ex wife despite her being old. When he told me they didn't have kids together, I ALMOST DANCED A HOLE through the earth. That meant she wouldn't be constantly in and out of our home exchanging visitation. But they stayed friends. I'm use to her now and am friends with her but 20+ years ago the sound of her voice made me clinch my teeth. Old or not.
Amy was an American city girl. City children murder. I use to live in Baltimore. Half of the murders are committed by children it seems like.
Blame the environment.
Jealousy is a leading cause of murder. Learn about humans. You are one.
I understand the instinct to scapegoat others but she is responsible for her own behavior.
no I believe the opposite she probably thought the wife stand in his way so she killed her being child and in love compromise ur decision
She was 17
@Fuzzybucket
Don't be silly, attempted murder is worth way more than 7 years, but I blame on the popo Who "wanted to catch mr. Joey" but never actually made a move to do so
*Joey looked creepy then, and even creepier now.*
I’m cracking, but truuuuuuu
I read the book “Getting it through my thick skull” by Mary Jo. She blames both Joey and Amy
Its a great book
MRae I’m glad to hear that. I think he was involved. My opinion, he was way more accountable than he displayed.
Despicable that she blames a child, groomed by a pedophile - to shoot his wife!!I always felt bad for Amy as well as Mary Jo.
Thanks I'll check it out
Yo Ma Amy is old enough to know if u shoot someone it’s wrong but she is and was to young to be with a 37 year old man who manipulated her and where was any parents I do believe Amy and Mary were victims of Joey the creep
@@lalah6157 If you read the book and the way Amy Fisher behaved years later, you'll understand she probably has a personality disorder herself.
Joey was 100% behind this & Mary Jo looks great!!!
Lisa Lund After her release Amy admitted she madec it up.
and joey looks horrible!!
Lisa Lund Amy admitted that she lied about him being involved
Lisa Lund Not defending him bc he is a pig. Cannot stand him.
Lisa Lund Rigby
Mary Jo looking amazing what a beautiful woman
She didn't deserve what happened
Her hair is absolutely, totally, completely gorgeous. Gorgeous!
She looks fantastic. Better than she did when she was 20 years younger.
Facial Nerve Surgery and Facelift by Dr. Babak Azizzadeh.
Tassy McCormick she looks better because she isn't living with that narcissistic S O B. He was playing both women using them!
@annamal pete stfu..small peter .
Lots of plastic surgery. She was never beautiful by a long short. They were all hideous..
@@lenorekerl5257 I
I wish her well. She looks real nice .I think she is a brave lady and she learned to forgive and got sober. God bless her and her family.
God bless that lady going through that mess!
Mary Jo if you're reading these comments, you look the best I've ever seen just beautiful for your age. You are such a strong woman. I guess only God, Joey and Amy know all of the details and truth. And I'm glad you finally got rid of that creep anyway. God bless
Gina Bayer definitely getting better with age!!
Gina Bayer ...you took the words right out of my mouth. Living well is the sweetest revenge
What a Wonderful Woman! God's Blessed her with Strength and dignity."The definition of a woman"
Thanks for the nice comments back. Joey didn't deserve her
Gina Bayer 100%,
If she had died - her husband and Amy Fisher would be in PRISON FOR LIFE. OMG they still need to be in PRISON...
Avis Wrentmore Do you listen at all? The police thought the shooter was a man. If she died they would’ve never known Amy was involved.
After her release Amy admitted she made it up.
joey was innocent for the murder (guilty for the rest )
@@kirkgriffin8882
EXACTLY 🤦🏻♀️
It blows my mind how many people missed that.
Obviously, if his wife had died, the world NEVER would have even heard of Amy Fisher..
Police would have looked for a man who didn't exist and never would have found anyone.. Joey would have had an alibi, no knowledge and there were no text messages back then for investigators to check and find out about the affair.. etc..
It's crazy to think how different the outcome would have been.
@@merncat75 - "Obviously, if his wife had died, the world NEVER would have even heard of Amy Fisher." We don't have any way of knowing that, and while remotely possible, I seriously doubt it.
It's true that in the first few hours of the investigation, the police were looking for a male suspect and only initially considered Amy Fisher a suspect after Mary Jo was able to tell them by writing it on paper. But, that doesn't mean they wouldn't have eventually discovered Amy Fisher another way, in the event that Mary Jo didn't survive, or even if she survived but just couldn't remember the event at all, which sometimes does happen.
Witness statements collected later might have led them to a young woman. Amy's accomplice (Peter Guagenti) might have been discovered while looking for a man, which might have led them to Amy. The police also would have eventually investigated Joey, and while there was no texting and few if any mobile phones at the time, they would have checked his home and work phones, checked credit card and banking transactions, and interviewed Joey's friends and work associates, which might have led them to Amy.
Also, the police were eventually able to recover the gun and stolen license plate she used, which might have also led the police to Peter Guagenti or Amy Fisher. And let's not ignore the possibility that Joey might have turned her in, or that Amy might have eventually blabbed to someone about it.
So yes, the fact that Mary Jo was able to implicate Amy Fisher very early on, allowed the police to quickly focus their attention on Amy Fisher, but the police have many more ways to investigate it without her help.
Omg she actually doesn't think he had anything to do with this. I believe it was totally his idea. He is so creepy
the girl admitted he is innocent
@@alialahmad4329 In her books she doesn't exonerate him.
Yes he manipulated a teen, while also SA that teen and urged her to carry out this plan. I have NO DOUBT that Joey had life insurance policies on Mary Jo's life. He's a sheisty Jersey Meat head. The insurance fraud racket is thick in Jersey.
Mary Jo is a warrior and survivor! She looks and sounds so wonderful.
Forgiving Amy really set her free.
What a lovely lady. ❤️
It's unbelievable how this woman can still be in so much denial
Tilly Sanders how? She had to deal with him, they have two kids together... what else can she do!? Weather he was in on it or not.
the girl admitted he is innocent
@Stephanie first try to be a bit respectful to other people where did i offend u and this is s9 much time back so i don't remember clearly and if responded to other people its because thats i was hearing different opinions from different people so ofcours with different people u will hear me say the same things thats how yt comment section works
She is not in denial...anger and resentment destroy those who hate.... she forgave... (for her 0wn sake)..she is not saying it's ok that Amy Fisher shot her ...(Amy Fisher doesn't rent space in her head now)
She is a lucky lady to have survived, and even more extraordinary, just seeing and hearing her you would never know such a horrendous thing had even happened to her. God bless you Mary.
Joey is real low life.
Forgiveness is such a Blessing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It’s funny because she says she no saint but she is so strong. An inspiration. I hope she has a happy life.
I can’t believe she doesn’t think he was involved in this mess.
Good for Mary Jo for surviving this! You look terrific! Wish you all the best.
I feel so bad for Jess (her daughter) she has a podcast and talks about how the whole world hates her dad. But at the end of the day they’re both her parents
God Bless Mary. Love how she turned this into a positive for her life.
Well there is something to be said for turning your life around or rather making the best of a bad situation, but when you refuse to admit that, that person you married and had children with, that he no longer found you attractive and wanted to screw around with under age girls, yes Amy is a criminal but so is Joey and Joey more so because he was the adult and her husband, he owned Mary Jo the respect and love that she deserved. Amy wanted something that wasn't her's and was willing to go along with Joey to get it. I think Mary Jo, deep down knows that Joey put Amy up to it, not that it took much convincing, but the fact that Mary Jo still go's to these family gatherings with him across the room, would give me the chills.
Avis Wrentmore m
Ok
By o.j.
You are beautiful Mary Jo, you put her to shame even 20 years older!
This was the story of the 90"s
Joey may not have pulled the trigger but he definitely has some responsibility in her being shot. I believe he had Amy thinking that the only reason they couldn't be together was because his wife was in the way.
I am with he has some responsibility for what happened but that's it the girl admitted she lied
He groomed her well.
You're Beautiful Mary Jo!! So good to see you after all these years
I remember this case so well. Mary Jo you look wonderful and look beautiful.
She stayed with that cheater who helped create that chaos
Debi Barrington ...what are you talking about?
Debi Barrington she needed time to sort things out and process it all before she made any decisions she didn’t want to act rash. Give her a break, she’s the victim, she has a right to process this anyway she needed to. Her life, her process, if it happened to you, you can process it however you choose to, so back off and shut up.
Debi Barrington you make no sense...🤬
Debi Barrington Nah... she divorced him... 20 years ago... 🤨
True! 😔
So good to see Mary Jo doing well and beautiful as ever. God bless her and her family.
I remember this so well. I was impressed by how fast Mary Jo recovered. I'm still impressed by her. She's a tough lady. She's a survivor.
Great attitude and strength of letting go and forgiving. Tragedies at times bring amazing results. Amazing woman
I’m so glad Mary Jo lived ♥️
She is a Very Strong Woman...
I remember this omg this was everything. I lived in NY and my cousins lived in Massapequa and it was on every news channel every day. I remember the 3 movies. One with drew Barrymore. One with Allyssa Milano and one with the other girl Noel Parker. I admire Mary Jo!!!!!! An angel on this earth really. ❤️ she is an inspiration to survivors. Fighters. Victims. Etc.
Such a strong woman...bless her heart..I wish her nothing but happiness..
And Mary Jo is the only one who learned anything from this. And just look at her sitting there all tan and hot! Go MJ! Woo hoo. The ex and the buck faced girl are still a joke.
Elisa Mastromarino that girl was a child
Betty Echols who shot an innocent woman in the face....
It's ugly to make jokes about people's faces. I think the acts they did were dirty enough, no need to be a catty, petty person in the process describing their looks. Shallow people put so much worth in one's 'looks'.
@@bettyechols6405 A child who did a terrible thing.
I am not referring to the fact that she messed around with a married man. The married man is more to blame because he was the one with the marriage commitment, she was not, but the fact that she shot someone in the head and almost killed her. Do not try to exonerate her for being a "child." A child has to learn the difference between right and wrong and not go off the deep end when things do not go her way.
@@bettyechols6405that girl was escort too
Mary Jo Buttafuoco has an amazing personality. I really like her. I feel like she would be great on television.
Look at this woman looking so phenomenal! So happy for her and I hope she found peace. Very brave woman!
Mary Jo, you look beautiful! Sorry you went through this horrific ordeal. God bless you abundantly! 😇❤️🙏
Every time I read or hear about this story I always shake my head, its like, Amy, really? What did you see in this buffoon to go that far--shooting another woman over. At least Mary Jo has moved on with her life and not holding onto the past. And she looks really good for a dame.
Mary Jo is such a strong woman Such courage and strength. I would of been angry too but she survived! I remember when this happened! That bimbo should of gotten more prison time then what she got. Her sentence was to light.
Calling a teenaged girl a bimbo for being SA is just evil. I pray no one in your family has ever been SA or you may just call them bimbos or gigilos. SMH. Shame on you.
It still seems like this was all over the news just yesterday.
After surviving a very abusive relationship myself, I read Mary Jo's book Getting It Through My Thick Skull: Why I Stayed, What I Learned, and What Millions of People Involved with Sociopaths Need to Know
It was surprisingly well-written & a page turner. This woman tried SO hard to love Joey & keep her family together. In the end, she had to walk away to save her sanity.
Great read! 📖
I'm just glad she finally left him and got her life together. I remember when this happened and she was defending him people were yelling at the screen.
Mary jo wrote a book a few years ago that was very good. you look great.
MJ should join RHONY. I would love to see her on the show. Her story of overcoming is so interesting. I would like to see her and Dorinda conversing. She could replace Carole.
Her personality! ❤️❤️❤️
Looking amazing!! What a lovely & beautiful lady.
But I guess it's easier being in denial !!?
Good for Mary Jo! She has aged beautifully, has gotten very mature, wise & at peace with the whole horrid situation! So happy for her & as far as Any Fischer, well, you know she has 3 children herself, & what goes around, comes around, so we'll see what heart aches she goes through with her own children! And she absolutely deserves each & every one of those heart aches after what she did to this woman who did nothing wrong. You rock, Mary Jo!
Amy Fisher's children are suffering terribly at school, despite having moved from New York to Florida. American newspapers are very parochial and events like these appear in them in no time. No-one wants to befriend Amy Fisher's children "for fear that they carry the Fisher gene" and I am sorry for them, because they are the innocent the innocent victims in this unhappy saga.
god bless that poor poor woman and yet another man is at least 50% to blame for this utter nightmare.
She’s in great denial tho for sure her husband even got back with her after she got out
She looks beautiful...
You would NEVER believe she was shot in the face!
SHAME ON AMY AND JOEY!
Actually, the bullet entered at her temple (They show the picture.) But, she did say her face is paralyzed on that side.
Vintage Rose : No, not her temple. It was right under her ear on the side of her face.
roisindubh02 Ok, thanks
Yes shame on them Xiola Blue Staley ! And it's hard to think that Joey cheated on Mary for Amy.Amy wasn't even pretty ,she had nothing extraordinary or bright compared to Mary jo..Pff! It's a lack of taste.
Finally a descent interview. Proud of you for listening and not trying to put words into Mary Jo's mouth or twisting what she said. Real Journalism!
Sad she doesn’t blame her husband. Glad Amy is doing well
She's still in denial...
I still think he was in on it.
Jess brought me here this is and incredible story about a strong woman
Love Mary Jo, but I do believe Amy was a victim of Joey's manipulation. He got off to easy.
Mary Jo is a saint, took her too long to see the light. She has a good heart and I wish her the best.
God Bless you, Mary Jo!
how honest may no is just raw! good for her!
I think it's pitiful, that nothing happened to him!! She was a child when he started having an affair with her. I believe he led her on, and drove her to to what she did. Mary Jo didn't deserve what happened to her, but they should of taken into account her age and his role in it
Wow she looks great. She's the only person in this whole fiasco story that I care about.
She’s such a strong individual!!!
She looks great, all the best to her..
We love this woman... She is beautiful inside and out
God she has a great sense of humor considering what happened...I mean she has had a lot of time to heal but still..God bless her for being so strong..
FU JOEY
God bless you Mary jo💕💪🏼
God bless mary jo🙏
God Bless you Mary Jo for all you have been through in your life. You have an amazing personality, and look absolutely beautiful! I even love your outfit! You are a true survivor!
She got shot for being and still naive about this guy
Did she ever remarry?
Great interview. Beautiful woman, inside and out!
God I remember this
Things like that are always remembered.
You are a true East Coast strong kind of woman. 💪. Glad you ate ok after all these years
she looks good after all these years, by looking at her today you really can't tell what happened to her all those years ago.
I was a teen when that happened and remember the story! I’m so happy to see Mary Jo looking so radiant and doing well! What an amazing lady!!!
Much respect to Mary Jo!
She looks absolutely amazing. I'm glad for her.
she talks about Amy but what about her husband
I just finished reading the book and it really hit home. Women can perceive such men as confident and brave, when they are nothing but irresponsible risk-takers who place the blame on anyone else when things f up royally for them.
That’s messed up but I’m glad to see that she’s doing well
If only she actually held him accountable.
I am so happy that Mary Jo is doing so well. I remember this story. She is for sure a strong woman. I know its tough, but she made it through 💙💜
This woman survived a gunshot to the HEAD. Standing ovation for her. I completely remember this story..it was huge, people couldn't get enough of this story. Mary Jo got lost in the story because everyone was so focused on the idiotic girl..Amy.
I'm happy Mary Jo made it through. She looks incredible..SHE is the only one of interest now and the only one we care about.
Did she survive "miraculously" or because she got prompt expert medical care? I am glad Mary Jo survived.
Jeanette York probably both. I mean, how many people actually survive a bullet to the head?!
Jeanette York medical care sure did miracles on her.
Are u an atheist, lol ??
Praying you stay strong, so glad you are alive!
It's no longer "alleged" once it is adjudicated...
Really she is not too bright & shot to the head only made her dependent on that Cretin she was married too. Took her a longtime to wise up!!
@@cagurl9113 Sad..isnt it? Shes the Queen of De Nial...
Mary Jo, you are truly amazing.
She's too good for Joey and has way more class than Amy, she's happy and healthy now. God bless her.
Amy Fisher will never amount to anything....Mary Jo looks great! Sad for the family.
Makes you laugh how the wife is better looking than the girl he had an affair with.
Just makes you wonder. I know Amy was younger,but she shore wasn’t as pretty as mary.
The reason Amy looks older than Mary Jo because of the lies and guilt she felt when she was in prison and to add Prison age you faster than anything.
Man are stupid they go for youth
Belin Romero
Yes I said on my comment,that Amy was younger.
I think that makes you a bit stupid don’t you think
TROLL.
I can tell exactly what person you are just by your comment. 💩
No not at all.it's part of her genes Lara croft . Amy seemed at least 18 when she was 16 and the first time i saw a pic of her i was just like"She's only 16! "'She looked older that's all because of her make up and face...And yes Julie Mary jo was gorgeous when Amy was arrested,a very fine blonde pff!
