Couple Profile
Joseph "Joey" Buttafuoco (born March 11, 1956) made headlines in 1992 for his affair with a then underage Amy Fisher, who subsequently shot Joey`s wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, in the face. Although deafened in one ear and partially paralyzed, Mary Jo survived the shooting and was able to give a description of a t-shirt her assailant had been wearing. The t-shirt, emblazoned with the logo of Buttafuoco`s auto body shop in Baldwin, New York, USA, had been a gift from Joey to Fisher. Joey realized the implications of the description and accused Fisher as the shooter.
Fisher served seven years in Albion Correctional Facility for the crime. Buttafuoco pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape and served four months in jail. He and his wife later moved to California and divorced on February 3, 2003.
Buttafuoco has been charged with crimes on numerous occasions since the Amy Fisher incident.
In 1995, he pleaded no contest to a solicitation of prostitution charge and was fined and placed on probation for two years.
In 2004, he was sentenced to a year in jail and five years of probation after pleading guilty to auto insurance fraud.
In August 2005, he was charged with illegal possession of ammunition due to his convicted felon status. Probation officers found the ammunition during a search of his home. He pled no contest and begun serving his sentence on Jan. 8, 2007. He was released on April 28, 2007.
The significant coverage of the Amy Fisher incident made Buttafuoco a minor celebrity. In 2002, he participated in the Fox Network`s Celebrity Boxing, originally slated to oppose John Wayne Bobbitt, who dropped out due to being arrested for domestic abuse. Bobbit was replaced by female pro wrestler Joanie "Chyna" Laurer. Buttafuoco, being booed, won the fight in a majority decision (28-27, 29-27, 28-28), with replays indicating that Buttafuoco handily defeated Chyna, even giving her a swollen eye . In 2006, he and Amy Fisher were reunited at the Lingerie Bowl for the coin toss. In a story reported in the New York Post, reality show producer David Krieff suggests Buttafucco and Fisher are currently "dating" again, although this is not supported by any direct statements from either Buttafuoco or Fisher. On May 23, 2007 Mary Jo Buttafucco appeared on CNN`s Larry King Live program to discuss the recent reunion of her ex-husband and the former Long Island Lolita. Larry King Live Announcement Joey Buttafuoco and Mary Jo Buttafuoco have been regular guests of The Howard Stern Show since 1992. However, despite many news articles reporting his rumored romance with Fisher, Buttafuoco`s second wife, Evanka, withdrew her divorce petition on June 22, 2007, and apparently has reconciled with him.
Joey now hosts a live talk radio show dedicated to recovery topics.
