Exactly, the home wrecker never exchanged vows with you, your husband did. I get if you’re mad at her and all that, but the husband has a free will to cheat and make a fool out of you or be awesome and faithful
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.
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.
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
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.
@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 has ALWAYS been bad news. I read Mary Jo's book a couple of years ago & she tells a charming story about how when she was pregnant Joey led the cops on a high speed persuit. He could have injured her and the unborn baby. They were high school sweet hearts & it's really hard for some women to let go.
Finally realizing I’ve been plagued with my own stupidity, I just started reading her book. By page two, I UA-cam searched the Joey/Amy reunion referenced! Wow! It is really hard to accept one’s own detrimental stupidity believing in a one sided “relationship”.
@@robinc4605 exactly 💯 and her stupid AZZ still in denial after all these years SMH SMT.... everyone in the universe knows your bad for nothing husband ain't NOBODY! One problem with these wives they always in denial Soo 😭
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@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.
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
You made it Mary Jo... You're horrific story was heartbreaking. I'm glad you are doing well. If anybody in that whole situation should be well it's you. I wish for only good things from here on. 💜
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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! 📖
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.
That, my friends, is what a REAL, STRONG, GOOD woman with personality, intelligence and stamina is all about....Amy Fisher, you will never reach this lady's level, that is why you tried to destroy her....Mary Jo..you are an inspiration and I wish you nothing but luck and happiness for the rest of your life xxxx
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.
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.
Childhood SEXUAL abuse tends to create narcissistic personality disorder in many. People are treating this like she as a 20-something woman who started an affair, when it was Joey who preyed on her (and he did-- she was 17 he was 20+ years her senior). Pedophilia is slowly becoming more acceptable and its sickening.
MY HEART ALWAYS WENT OUT MARY JO, HER DAUGHTER AND SON, I HOPE MARY JO IS DOING GOOD!!! SHE DESERVES ALL THE LOVE AND BEST OF FRIEND'S & HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD. MARY JO, PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF YOU DON'T KNOW WISH ALL GREAT THINGS YOU DESERVE & I'M REALLY HAPPY YOU HAVE FROM TRUE LOVE IN YOUR LIFE 💖!
Dang girl you look GOOD ! I am so sorry you had to go through that but you prove every day just by waking up that you are no victim and after all was said and done, you're the one that came out the winner !
I don't Care whether it's true or not, I would have left that man....... sorry, I'm not that type of stand-by-your-man type of woman after my man admited to cheating on me
Wow really impressed by how well put together she is after going through something so tragic. She's a strong person. On the other hand I was disappointed that she seemed "fine" with her ex-husband, but still throws a few jabs at Amy Fisher. The ex-husband is obviously a total lunatic too...
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
This is Mary Jo's story. Unless you have walked in her shoes... you would be able to have empathy for her. She seems as though she has such a forgiving spirit! What a beautiful gift!
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!
Mary Jo is such a strong woman and I applaud her strength and vitality. She looks amazing after all this time! Joey was guiltier than anyone probably knows.
It amazes me how many women who have been cheated on blame the woman and not their man.
Exactly, the home wrecker never exchanged vows with you, your husband did. I get if you’re mad at her and all that, but the husband has a free will to cheat and make a fool out of you or be awesome and faithful
Why not put the blame on both?
To be fair though, this woman shot her in the face.
Mandy - LOL, great comment!
Amen!!! Thank you!!!
I would’ve gotten rid of that filthy last name and taken my maiden name back
Why not change her name. Amy did

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

Look at this woman looking so phenomenal! So happy for her and I hope she found peace. Very brave woman!
I can’t believe she doesn’t think he was involved in this mess.
Omg i was 20 year's old when this story broke... Glad to see she's doing great and looking wonderful💖
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.
This was the story of the 90"s
That, my friends, is what a REAL, STRONG, GOOD woman with personality, intelligence and stamina is all about....Amy Fisher, you will never reach this lady's level, that is why you tried to destroy her....Mary Jo..you are an inspiration and I wish you nothing but luck and happiness for the rest of your life xxxx
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.
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.
Mary Jo Buttafuoco has an amazing personality. I really like her. I feel like she would be great on television.
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!
Mary Jo, you look beautiful! Sorry you went through this horrific ordeal. God bless you abundantly! 😇❤️🙏
Childhood SEXUAL abuse tends to create narcissistic personality disorder in many.
People are treating this like she as a 20-something woman who started an affair, when it was Joey who preyed on her (and he did-- she was 17 he was 20+ years her senior).
Pedophilia is slowly becoming more acceptable and its sickening.
Her personality! ❤️❤️❤️
MY HEART ALWAYS WENT OUT MARY JO, HER DAUGHTER AND SON, I HOPE MARY JO IS DOING GOOD!!! SHE DESERVES ALL THE LOVE AND BEST OF FRIEND'S & HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD. MARY JO, PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF YOU DON'T KNOW WISH ALL GREAT THINGS YOU DESERVE & I'M REALLY HAPPY YOU HAVE FROM TRUE LOVE IN YOUR LIFE 💖!
god bless that poor poor woman and yet another man is at least 50% to blame for this utter nightmare.
Mary Jo, you look very beautiful! Everything - your eyes, your hair, your tan - very pretty. I wish I looked 1/2 that good! God bless you always.
I think that’s a natural coloring and not a tan but she does look good she A survivor
But I guess it's easier being in denial !!?
Mary jo wrote a book a few years ago that was very good. you look great.
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..
Dang girl you look GOOD ! I am so sorry you had to go through that but you prove every day just by waking up that you are no victim and after all was said and done, you're the one that came out the winner !
Jess brought me here this is and incredible story about a strong woman
Sad she doesn’t blame her husband. Glad Amy is doing well
He totally was involved....how would Amy know when kids are out of the house? How would Amy know the wife would be home?
I don't Care whether it's true or not, I would have left that man....... sorry, I'm not that type of stand-by-your-man type of woman after my man admited to cheating on me
NaturallyMeMya and he was with a 16 year old girl! He abused a child.
Looking amazing!! What a lovely & beautiful lady.
Wow really impressed by how well put together she is after going through something so tragic. She's a strong person. On the other hand I was disappointed that she seemed "fine" with her ex-husband, but still throws a few jabs at Amy Fisher. The ex-husband is obviously a total lunatic too...
That’s messed up but I’m glad to see that she’s doing well
how honest may no is just raw! good for her!
Wow she looks great. She's the only person in this whole fiasco story that I care about.
He was such a cad.
A real fkg pig...literally..
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 💙💜
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
God Bless you, Mary Jo!
This is Mary Jo's story. Unless you have walked in her shoes... you would be able to have empathy for her. She seems as though she has such a forgiving spirit! What a beautiful gift!
Mary jo looks wonderful! I am inspired by resilience that is clearly miraculous grace. What a great and rare strength rarely seen.
You are a true East Coast strong kind of woman. 💪. Glad you ate ok after all these years
She looks great, all the best to her..
Mary Jo is a saint, took her too long to see the light. She has a good heart and I wish her the best.
Much respect to Mary Jo!
She’s such a strong individual!!!
We love this woman... She is beautiful inside and out
Great interview. Beautiful woman, inside and out!
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!
Mary Jo is such a strong woman and I applaud her strength and vitality. She looks amazing after all this time! Joey was guiltier than anyone probably knows.
