'They're are horrible parents': 'RHOM' fans concerned for Lenny and Lisa Hochstein's children amid their ugly public divorce
MIAMI, FLORIDA: The drama between 'RHOM' stars Lenny and Lisa Hochstein is never-ending. Lenny Hochstein, a renowned plastic surgeon, 57, and stunning Lisa announced their split in May 2022. The divorce process was messy as both of them took turns to slam each other on social media.
However, things have boiled down to the custody battle for their children Logan, 8, and Elle, 4. Throughout the year, the 'RHOM' famed stars mudslinged and badmouthed each other through social media posts and even filed lawsuits.
However, 'RHOM' fans feel that both of them are unfit for raising their children.
A Reddit post by 'RHOM' fans questioned Lisa and Lenny's parenting skills. Stating that they had the means to give a beautiful and memorable childhood to their children but have failed to do so.
Divorces are traumatic for children but for Lenny and Lisa's children, it's all the more difficult as it is a public one.
A Reddit user stated "Lisa and Lenny are horrible parents. The pizza scene with her kids was hard to watch. I do feel bad for her with her divorce and understand she's in a weaker position compared to him which has nothing to do with how she parents. She just seems so uncomfortable around them."
Another user slammed Lenny for letting the crew film his children, "I'm not surprised Lenny let's the children be filmed because they were always filmed for the show and considering that he's very messy online, even making immature IG posts that includes his children's picture"
The fans are utterly surprised how Lenny is allowing Lisa to let the camera film her children.
They called Lisa 'self-absorbed' and stated that she spends quite less time with her children and that she should emotionally support them in these times.
Who are Lenny and Lisa Hochstein's children?
As 'RHOM' Season 3 concluded in 2013, Lisa and Lenny had already committed to expanding their family through surrogacy, having identified a surrogate. The couple welcomed their first child, Logan, a baby boy, in 2015, followed by the birth of their daughter Elle four years later.
Despite openly sharing their family journey on social media, the recent acrimonious separation has raised concerns about the potential impact on their young children, introducing an element of trauma amid the publicized split.
Is Lenny Hochstein trying to create a bad image for Lisa Hochstein?
Lisa opened up in the latest episode (Season 6, Episode 8) of 'RHOM' to her co-star Adriana de Moura about the latest motion that Lenny had filed against her.
Lisa went on to say that Lenny was making up false accusations and painting her as an 'unfit mother'.
Lenny is pursuing full custody of the children and has accused Lisa of using prescription drugs in a recent legal motion.
Lisa confided in Adriana, revealing Lenny's desire for sole custody, alleging her as 'unfit.'
Tearfully, she disclosed Lenny's knowledge of her financial situation, implying ulterior motives. Adriana provided solace, emphasizing Lenny's misconduct involving infidelity and deceit.
'RHOM' star Lenny Hochstein sues ex Lisa for defamation
In December 2023, 'RHOM' star Lenny Hochstein filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Lisa, countering her abuse claims by asserting she sustained bruises from losing balance, not from abuse, as per Page Six.
The legal action ensued after Lisa shared photos of her bruises on Instagram, alleging harassment and abuse by Lenny and the court system.
Amid their contentious divorce in 2022, Lenny released a statement denying all domestic violence accusations, supported by a medical report discrediting the source of Lisa's bruise.
Lenny accused Lisa of self-victimization to garner sympathy and secure full custody of their children.
He further alleged Lisa's infidelity with current boyfriend Jody Glidden, branding her the 'homewrecker' of Miami.
The couple filed for divorce in October 2022, with Lenny publicly revealing his relationship with Katharina Mazepa the same month.
Lisa claimed Mazepa was Lenny's mistress, leading to a court order for Lenny to pay $8000 monthly for temporary support.
