Lenny Hochstein Unleashes Explosive Truth About Lisa's Engagement and Fires Back at His Mom's Controversial Remarks

Lenny Hochstein is addressing the controversy surrounding his proposal to Katharina Mazepa while still finalizing his divorce from Lisa Hochstein.

"I would like to clarify some matters. Before informing Lisa of my desire for a divorce, my life was incredibly unhappy for two years. I was not treated as a partner but rather as a servant," stated Lenny, exclusively speaking to We on Wednesday, August 2. Lenny, 57, proposed to Mazepa, 27, earlier this week. "I was merely seen as an ATM machine, continuously funding her extravagant lifestyle and insatiable desire for material possessions."

The plastic surgeon, who publicly revealed his romance with Mazepa in May 2022 and announced his split from Lisa, 41, also stated that he had expressed his desire for a divorce to his estranged wife multiple times during their unhappy two-year period.

Lenny added, "She showed no concern. We had not been in a husband-wife relationship since 2021, and by 2022, we were living in separate bedrooms. I had already made the decision for a divorce, but I wanted to wait until filming for The Real Housewives of Miami was over. Mentally, I had already checked out. She would often stay out partying until 4 or 5 a.m., as if it were a regular occurrence."

Lenny’s remarks follow Lisa's subtle dig at his proposal. "Congratulations to my present husband and his mistress on their upcoming marriage," the Bravolebrity posted on her Instagram Story right after the news became widespread.

Lenny Hochstein denied Lisa's allegations of infidelity, stating that there was no cheating in their marriage and that Kat was never his mistress.

He continued by informing Lisa that their marriage was coming to an end and that he planned on pursuing other relationships. He expressed his frustration with Lisa's false depiction of herself as a victim, stating that she is actually a self-centered individual who prioritizes only herself, disregarding both him and their children.

Lenny also alleged that Lisa wasted no time in entering a new relationship with someone she used to work for named Scott, shortly after their separation was finalized. Lisa has since moved on and is now involved with tech entrepreneur Jody Glidden. She confirmed their romantic involvement in January and gleefully shared details of an amazing dinner date with Jody, unaware of her ex's recent engagement.

Lenny's mother, Mariana Hochstein, congratulated her son on Instagram, expressing her happiness that he found a woman who loves and respects him. She made a subtle remark about his previous marriage, wishing him good luck and offering her congratulations.

Lenny acknowledged that he did not appreciate his mother's remarks but empathized with her intentions. He believed that she had genuine concern for their mutual friend, Lisa, and praised her for trying to safeguard him. When contacted, Lisa's response was sought by Us.
