The Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein was "blindsided" by Lenny's "reckless" divorce announcement. Lenny confirmed the split early Monday morning after being spotted out with model Katharina Mazepa over the weekend. His not-so-shocking announcement came just after the couple fueled breakup rumors following a nightclub showdown. Lenny and Katharina have been hitting the scene together amid the split, and Lisa is not happy about it. However, the mother of two appears to be taking the high road.
Viewers got an inside look into Lisa and Lenny's strained marriage in RHOM season 4. Lisa boasted about Lenny in her tagline. Still, cameras were able to capture the plastic surgeon seeming annoyed by his wife's presence. In the season 4 reunion, Lisa became an emotional wreck while opening up about Lenny's past "emotional affair" with another woman. Fast forward to Lisa confronting Lenny at a nightclub with Larsa Pippen last week, and many viewers are shocked but not surprised with how things turned out. Lenny initially denied the divorce claims before confirming their split. While announcing the divorce, Lenny also confirmed that he is dating Katharina and claimed, “none of this happened until after the decision was made to get divorced.”
Now, Lisa shares how hurt she is by her husband's response to their sudden split. “With two young children involved, as a mom I’m going to focus all of my energy and time on them,” Lisa told Page Six shortly after Lenny confirmed their divorce to the outlet. “I’m blindsided by his behavior and reckless handling of the situation,” she added. Sources say Lisa is “devastated and disgusted that he would do this to his children,” and thinks “the way he’s out flaunting it is gross.”
At the nightclub, insiders say Lisa got into Katharina's face and "yelled" at her. A glass was also reportedly thrown. The new revelations seem like a logical follow-up to Lisa's reveal of Lenny's past "emotional affair." Lisa's tearful confession seemingly set the stage for the pair's impending divorce, even if she may not have realized it at the time. Lisa and Lenny share their son Logan, 6, and daughter Elle, 4, and both say they will continue to focus on co-parenting amid the split.
With the breakup coming while The Real Housewives of Miami is in production, Lisa's divorce is set to take center stage. While the cameras weren't rolling when Lisa and Larsa confronted Lenny at the nightclub, the ladies likely had to relive the night during a confessional. The cast is sure to rally their support behind Lisa during the stressful time. Most of her co-stars are very familiar with divorce and can help guide Lisa through the rough ordeal. Lisa will, unfortunately, have to hammer this all out on screen, which may be hard to navigate. Still, she is sure to have The Real Housewives of Miami viewers on her side.
