JOEY BUTTAFUOCO is a free man. The former tabloid sensation -- and point of a love triangle that resulted in "Long Island Lolita" AMY FISHER shooting his former wife in the head in 1992 -- was released from L.A. County Jail on Saturday after serving several months for a probation violation.
While serving time, ET's THEA ANDREWS had unprecedented access to Joey behind bars, and witnessed firsthand the intensity of living in the same high security area that once housed O.J. SIMPSON and ROBERT BLAKE.
Many of today's Hollywood stars go under the knife to fight the ravages of aging and improve their appearance, but MARY JO BUTTAFUOCO had plastic surgery for a different reason: she was shot in the head by AMY FISHER 14 years ago!
Now, we've got the before-and-after plastic surgery photos of Mary Jo -- and the X-ray that shows a bullet in her head!
In their last encounter on ET, JOEY BUTTAFUOCO and AMY FISHER tore into each other once again -- this time right in front of Joey's ex-wife, MARY JO BUTTAFUOCO -- and Joey lost it, storming out and yelling at Amy, "You're gonna burn in hell, you little %$#&@!"
Tonight on ET, Joey goes ballistic again! The ET cameras are with him as his temper tantrum continues and he climbs into his waiting ride, yelling profanities at our producers.
The wait is over! Tonight on ET, AMY FISHER, JOEY BUTTAFUOCO and MARY JO face each other in the same room for the first time ever -- and things get ugly!
In their last encounter, Amy was expecting a clearing of the air and reconciliation of sorts, but felt ambushed by Joey. Before the face-off can even get underway, Mary Jo lays down the law, telling Joey that Amy "felt betrayed; she felt as if you kind of lured her into the trap," and if more fireworks happen she herself will walk out of the back-and-forth between Amy and her ex-husband.
In 1992, "Long Island Lolita" AMY FISHER walked up to MARY JO BUTTAFUOCO's doorstep and shot her point blank in the head. Mary Jo miraculously survived, and the world soon discovered the crime stemmed from an affair between the under-aged Amy and Mary Jo's then-35-year-old husband, JOEY BUTTAFUOCO.
This week, ET exclusively brought Amy and Mary Jo together for the first time ever with shocking results: Mary Jo held Amy in an emotional embrace, draining away their initial fears and allowing them to confront each other in a civilized manner.
The combustible confrontation between "Long Island Lolita" AMY FISHER and JOEY BUTTAFUOCO on ET last week stunned the nation, and now the woman caught in the middle of their crimes of passion -- Joey's ex-wife, MARY JO BUTTAFUOCO -- is coming forward.
Monday evening, ET sets the stage for the confrontation everyone will be talking about: Amy and Mary Jo -- together in the same room -- their first words since the day Amy shot Mary Jo in the head!
When "Long Island Lolita" AMY FISHER and her former flame JOEY BUTTAFUOCO hashed it out exclusively for ET this week, their confrontation made headlines across the nation.
Their sparks also caught the attention of Joey's ex-wife MARY JO BUTTAFUOCO -- shot in the face by Amy in 1992 -- who finally got to speak out on "The OPRAH WINFREY Show" in an interview airing today.
This week, ET reunited "Long Island Lolita" AMY FISHER with her former flame JOEY BUTTAFUOCO in a fireworks-filled interview that almost broke out into a brawl between Joey and Amy's new husband, LOU. Words were exchanged, tears were shed, and 14-year-old crimes of passion were revisited.
Despite a crime and attempted murder that sent both Amy and Joey to jail, both have moved on with their lives, and ET has an exclusive look at the moments of joy each have experienced in the last few years: their respective weddings!
"Long Island Lolita" AMY FISHER and her former flame JOEY BUTTAFUOCO hashed it out face-to-face exclusively for ET this week -- but what ET didn't show you was the combustible moment when Amy's husband, LOU, stepped in to his wife's defense -- until now!
"Do you want my husband to come sit next to me?" warned Amy when she felt things may be getting out of line. "Because you know what? You won't want to intimidate me because he'll rip your head off!"
"Long Island Lolita" AMY FISHER and her former flame JOEY BUTTAFUOCO hashed it out face-to-face exclusively for ET this week -- but can they apologize to each other?
"You know, if our relationship was anything and anybody thinks it was inappropriate, I apologize to my wife and children -- and you know something? Even to you, okay?" Joey told Amy. "But you don't shoot somebody. You don't take somebody's life. You just don't do that. You ruined [my former wife] MARY JO's health. She's deaf and paralyzed; that girl, you left her [for] dead. You left Mary Jo [for] dead, the mother of my children."
Are they mending fences or re-igniting a war? AMY FISHER was the 17-year-old "Long Island Lolita" who shot MARY JO BUTTAFUOCO, the wife of her 35-year-old lover, JOEY BUTTAFUOCO, in the head on her doorstep.
They've spoken before, but now ET exclusively sits down Amy and her former flame face-to-face for the first time ever on camera to hash out the past -- and it gets downright ugly!
