Lenny Hochstein’s girlfriend Katharina Mazepa is firing back at the “Real Housewives of Miami” star’s estranged wife Lisa Hochstein after her restraining order against her was dismissed.
“Lisa Hochstein is far from innocent and has taken the victim narrative too far,” Mazepa, 27, exclusively told Page Six in a statement via email on Monday.
“Lisa admitted herself in her own testimony that she did in fact create several Instagram accounts used to maliciously attack me online.”
Mazepa claimed that Lisa fessed up to creating fake Instagram accounts to troll the model on social media during court proceedings. Still, the judge decided to side with the reality TV star.
She further claimed that along with online bullying, Lisa allegedly spread lies about her immigration status, committed “stalking acts” and admitted that she wanted Mazepa to get “dragged.”
“The fact of the matter is, the judge found on the record that she had committed those acts, but felt that Lisa was ‘a woman scorned’ and as such under some limited caselaw, it should be expected for a woman scorned to retaliate,” Mazepa claimed.
Last week, Lisa, 40, told Page Six that she was “fully exonerated” after a judge dismissed Mazepa’s request for a restraining order.
“In July of this year, my estranged husband’s girlfriend Katharina Mazepa filed for a Restraining Order against me based on an affidavit, containing nothing but false and fictitious accusations against me,” she exclusively told us at the time. “Throughout the court proceedings, she tried to portray herself as a victim and vilify me. Thankfully, the judge saw through her vicious lies and antics and dismissed the case.”
Lisa claimed that Mazepa’s attempt to get a restraining order against her was a “cheap publicity stunt” and a ploy to improve Lenny’s position in their divorce proceedings. She alleged that Mazepa was “lying under oath.”
But Mazepa is now telling Page Six that Lisa is anything but innocent despite the judge’s decision to dismiss her request for a restraining order.
“In the light of Lisa misrepresenting the case entirely and making false and defamatory statements to the press and on social media, my legal team sent her a cease-and-desist letter,” Mazepa shared. “It is my hope that she will refrain from continuing to lie about this case as well as refrain from attacking and threatening me again; otherwise we will need to take legal action again.”
Mazepa added that since the case was dismissed, she has continued to receive “demeaning comments,” “insults” and even death threats.
“Lisa made it clear it was her goal to ‘destroy me’ and ‘getting me dragged’ as she even put into writing in one of the comments she posted herself,” Mazepa tells us. “She told me herself she will dramatize this on her TV show until my public image is destroyed. It is sad to see that someone would abuse their power and influence on TV, on social media and in the media to maliciously further their bullying campaign.”
Mazepa filed a restraining order against Lisa in July with claims that the reality star had been harassing and bullying her since she started dating 56-year-old Lenny.
Lisa swiftly shut down the allegations, telling Page Six in August that the accusations were “ridiculous.”
“Regarding his girlfriend, I am working with my attorney on a legal response to her ridiculous allegations which everyone knows are untrue,” Lisa told us at the time, adding, “What a waste of their time and money.”
In May, Lenny filed to divorce Lisa after Page Six reported there was a “showdown” when Lisa caught him partying with Mazepa at Miami Club Gala, leading to cheating speculation.
Lisa told Page Six that she was “blindsided” by the plastic surgeon’s decision to divorce her, while Lenny claimed that their breakup couldn’t be a surprise because they “were sleeping in separate bedrooms.”
Mazepa also denied being the one to break the couple up, saying that they had been separated for a while and that Lisa was “fully aware” they were going out.
Their breakup has been anything but cordial. Page Six reported last week that Lenny was captured on a hot mic ranting about Lisa during the filming of the forthcoming season of “RHOM.”
He was caught saying, “In a couple of months, I might be single, too,” and also said of Lisa, “I do anything I want, whenever I want, and you stay home and go to work and come back.”
Lisa shared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” this week that she was “devastated” by his words.
The self-proclaimed “Boob God” and Lisa share two kids: Logan, 7, and Elle, 2.
