Amy Fisher is an American woman who became known as "the Long Island Lolita" by the media in 1992, when, at the age of 17, she shot and severely wounded Mary Jo Buttafuoco, the wife of her lover Joey Buttafuoco. She was initially charged with first-degree attempted murder, but eventually pled guilty to first-degree aggravated assault and served six years in prison.
After her parole in 1999, Fisher became a journalist and writer, before embarking on a career as a pornographic actress in 2007. On May 19, 1992, 17-year-old Fisher had an accomplice drive her to the Buttafuoco home in Massapequa, New York. When Mary Jo Buttafuoco answered the door, Fisher told her that Joey was having an affair with Fisher's younger sister, providing a t-shirt advertising Joey's auto body shop for her "proof." When Mary Jo turned away Fisher shot her in the head on the front porch and left the property.
After her release from prison, Fisher became a columnist for the Long Island Press. She wrote a book about her experiences, If I Knew Then..., published in 2004. In 2003, Fisher married Louis Bellera. The couple have three children. In March 2008, Fisher was a commentator on truTV's The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest..., a series that depicted people caught on tape doing and/or saying foolish things.
