Bethenny Frankel is sounding off on the engagement announcement of Lenny Hochstein, who is estranged from his wife, “The Real Housewives of Miami” star Lisa Hochstein.
On July 29, Hochstein, 57, and Katharina Mazepa, 27, shared a joint post of the plastic surgeon’s proposal in Spain. “Seeing pictures of Lenny Hochstein getting engaged is like being on the checkout line and seeing that bargain basket bin of, like, 75 cent and three dollar things where you might find something but usually don’t,” Frankel ripped the former Househusband in an Instagram video.
“Like, people named Lenny Hochstein and their engagements aren’t sexy,” she added. “I’m team Lisa Hochstein all day every day. When she and her hot guy get engaged, I’ll actually watch the entire post,” she said in reference to the RHOM star’s romance with her boyfriend Jody Glidden. Lisa Hochstein shared her appreciation for Frankel’s support in the comments of the Instagram video with a red heart emoji.

You certainly did not have that in your previous marriage. Good luck congratulations.”
