RHOM microphones caught Lenny Hochstein’s hot mic rant about his wife, Lisa Hochstein, and the response to it is bad. The RHOM cast’s reaction to Lenny’s rant is particularly of disdain as the wives team up to defend their co-star. Get the details below.
Lenny Hochstein’s Hot Mic Rant About Wife Caught On Camera
The forthcoming series of The Real Housewives of Miami shows the shocking moment Lenny Hochstein gives the hot mic rant. The plastic surgeon was talking to a newly single friend Vito about his estranged wife, RHOM star Lisa Hochstein.
“In a couple of months, I might be single, too,” he whispered to Vito.
The latter asked the 56-year-old why he wanted a divorce, to which Lenny replied that it was because of the same old issues.
“I do anything I want, whenever I want, and you stay home and go to work and come back,” he said about Lisa’s mental state.
Vito then said he didn’t want to see the pair split, which Lenny scoffed at. Lenny also remarked in the now-streaming episode four of RHOM Season 5 that he and Lisa aren’t intimate anymore. The doctor said it would mean he’d be “cheating on who [he] really [cares] about,” presumably referring to his model girlfriend, Katharina Mazepa.
The plastic surgeon previously insisted that he met Katharina, 27, only after he and Lisa decided to part ways. Lisa, however, said in May that she was “blindsided” by the news.
Meanwhile, Lisa also boasted on the show that the “Hochsteins never divorce,” according to Lenny’s mother. However, the couple’s situation has proven her wrong, as they are currently in a fierce divorce battle.
The duo, who wed in October 2009, filed for divorce in May and share son Logan, 7, and daughter Elle, 3. The RHOM star accused her husband of cutting her off financially, leaving her unable to buy diapers and food for their children. In response, Lenny claimed his estranged wife earns $30,000 per episode of RHOM.
RHOM Cast React To Lenny’s Rant
Meanwhile, The Real Housewives of Miami cast is still reeling from the shock of Lenny’s hot mic rant.
“How low is low? It’s cowardly,” Guerdy Abraira told Page Six in an exclusive interview.
“If you want out, let it be known,” she added.
The event planner continued by saying that the Russian native shouldn’t string his wife along while making her look “crazy.” The 44-year-old noted that Lenny should have been forthright with Lisa about his intent to end their marriage.
“She can take the bad news, you know what I mean?” she continued saying that Lisa shouldn’t have been served the way Lenny did to her. The reality TV star called out the Miami surgeon’s “hypocrisy,” calling it “disrespectful.”
Adriana de Moura also commented on the situation, rebuking Lenny over his decision not to be intimate with Lisa. The Feel the Rush singer explained that it hurts to be rejected by a loved one because of someone else.
Another RHOM cast member, Alexa Echevarria, reacted to Lenny’s rant, saying she couldn’t sleep afterward. The 55-year-old said it was particularly tough to hear as she once considered Lenny a friend.
“You kind of think to yourself, ‘I was sleeping with the enemy,'” she explained. “This guy was trying to do this to her.”
Marysol Patton also condemned Lenny’s actions. She said she and the others were “disappointed” by his behavior during the early stages of his separation from Lisa.
“He didn’t handle things in a sensitive and appropriate way,” the former publicist said. “And I think that everybody’s just disappointed in the way he handled things and treated Lisa in the end,” she concluded.
Lenny Hochstein’s hot mic rant probably reveals the state of his mind when he asked Lisa for a divorce. The RHOM cast’s reaction to Lenny’s rant is also admirable, standing up for their co-star. However, Lisa might need to face the reality that her marriage to the doctor is over and focus on her children.
