Lenny Hochstein’s friend Nik Richie accused Katharina Mazepa of cheating on Lenny throughout the entirety of their relationship and addressed a recent photo of Katharina with another man.
Earlier this week, Katharina and Lenny announced the end of their engagement. They got together soon after he left his wife, Lisa Hochstein, a star on Real Housewives of Miami. Lisa has insinuated multiple times that Lenny was cheating on her with Katharina before the separation.
On his Instagram Stories, Nik posted a photo of Katharina on a boat as she embraced some other guy.
“Who is this guy?” wrote Nik in his caption, via Reality Tea.
He then posted a screenshot of a message he allegedly sent to Katharina as he asked for answers.
“Why are you intentionally trying to hurt Lenny like this,” wrote the friend in his text. “I thought you loved him. He was man of your dreams. I can’t believe this. My heart is breaking.”
He then wrote cryptically: “Answer. I cannot live like this. I had three wedding dates! And Lisa won’t talk to me. You are ruining my life too!”
In another message, he accused Katharina of cheating on his friend throughout their whole relationship.
“Kat why are you not responding to my texts? I just want to understand why you hurt Lenny after all he has done for you and your family?” wrote Nik. “He took you in from the streets and made you a princess. How can you cheat like this the entire time like Russian spy? Are you a red sparrow? There has to be a reason.”
Announcing the split, Katharina and Lenny gave separate comments to Page Six.
“We recently ended our engagement,” said Lenny at the time. “I have decided to move forward with my life … [But wish her] nothing but the best [and have] nothing but love and admiration for Katharina and her family … [I] will be forever grateful for the time [we] spent together.”
Katharina added, “[We] mutually decided to end [our] engagement last month … While we both cherished our time together, we have decided to move forward independently. I have nothing but gratitude in my heart for the beautiful two years we spent together.”
