LOS ANGELES – Joey Buttafuoco told one-time lover Amy Fisher to “burn in hell” during an explosive TV interview that reunited all three tragic players of the “Long Island Lolita” love triangle.
Fisher, 31, pushed Buttafuoco’s emotional buttons by demanding an apology for bedding her as a teen – and the infamous auto mechanic snapped as cameras rolled for “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider.” “You are going to burn in hell you little [expletive]!” he bellowed. “I am finished with this nonsense.”
The f-bomb spewing Buttafuoco then stormed out of the interview site – leaving behind Fischer and his ex-wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, who later shared an awkward hug.
Joey Buttafuoco’s affair with his teen paramour led to Fisher shooting Mary Jo in the face at the family’s Massapequa home on May 19, 1992. Joey Buttafuoco spent four months in jail for statutory rape, and Fisher did seven years for first-degree assault.
The trio had never been interviewed together before spilling their guts Friday. The interview premieres tomorrow, and will be shown over several days.
Buttafuoco’s tantrum came after an hour of three-way talks among the tawdry tabloid threesome.
Mary Jo seized on Joey’s angry departure from the posh Hollywood home where they were interviewed as an example of why they split up.
“What you just saw is the difference between letting go of the anger and holding onto it,” Mary Jo Buttafuoco said. “You can choose to be angry, or you can choose to move on. I don’t see him anymore, or socialize with him. Seeing him shows that he has got the anger, and that is what led to our divorce.”
In an interview two weeks ago, Fisher claimed she was strung out on ecstasy the day she shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco – an assertion flatly denied by cops who investigated the case. But in this latest interview, Fisher said cops had knowledge of her drug use.
“It’s funny, the police . . . they took the pills and gave them to the attorneys,” Fisher said. “They knew what it was: steroids, ecstasy, a little bit of acid.”
Although Mary Jo Buttafuoco and Fisher shared a hug and appeared to hit it off after Joey Buttafuoco stormed away, the women predicted they will probably never speak to each other again. “We will both go our separate paths,” said Fisher, now a married Long Island mother of two.
