Celebrity (usartical) In the midst of their contentious divorce, “Real Housewives of Miami” star Lisa Hochstein stirred controversy as she celebrated her mother Jean’s birthday on Sunday. The actress shared a rotating collection of Instagram pictures, drawing attention to one particular photo where Lisa’s ex-husband, Lenny Hochstein, was noticeably Photoshopped out of a family portrait. 
However, Lisa’s attempt to edit him out was met with criticism from followers who pointed out the indistinct outline. Fans flooded the comments section, questioning the quality of the editing work and suggesting that Lisa should have simply removed him.
In response to inquiries, Lisa explained, “I didn’t want to distort the picture. It appears more appealing visually that we are focused.” She humorously acknowledged her editing skills, stating, “I have a lot of work to do.” Some comments poked fun at the situation, with one mentioning, “THE PIC WHERE LENNY IS BLURRED OUT LMFAO.”
Amid the banter, Lisa’s transparency in removing Lenny from the picture was applauded by some fans. Comments ranged from playful remarks about “the ghost of Lenny past” to support for Lisa’s candid approach. However, the lighthearted comments contrast with the ongoing serious legal battle between Lisa and Lenny, who are currently embroiled in a heated divorce dispute.
The divorce proceedings took a dramatic turn when Lisa accused Lenny of domestic abuse after posting a picture of a significant bruise in November of last year. Lenny responded by suing her for slander, deeming the accusations “egregious.” The couple, parents to Elle, 4, and Logan, 8, have been navigating a tumultuous separation since Page Six revealed their split in May 2022.
Adding to the complexities, Lenny became engaged to Katharina Mazepa in July of last year, while still legally married to Lisa. Meanwhile, Lisa shared in March 2023 that she had found love again with Jody Glidden.
