Bethenny Frankel is firmly “Team Lisa” Hochstein amid her estranged husband Lenny Hochstein’s engagement.
The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum took to TikTok Sunday to slam the 57-year-old plastic surgeon for proposing to Katharina Mazepa.
“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, 52, said.
“People named Lenny Hochstein and their engagements aren’t sexy,” she continued.
However, the Skinnygirl creator noted that she will “watch the entire post” when Lisa “and her hot guy, [Jody Glidden], engaged.”
Frankel’s followers praised her for being a “girl’s girl” in the comments section.
“Howling at this analogy, so true,” one social media user wrote, while another thanked Frankel for “showing up” for Lisa.
When Lenny told his Instagram followers that he got down on one knee, Lisa shared a sarcastic congratulations to the couple on her Story.
“Congrats to my current husband and his mistress on their engagement,” the “Real Housewives of Miami” star, 41, wrote via Instagram Saturday.
Just a few hours before news broke, Lisa had been enjoying an “incredible romantic dinner” with Glidden, whom she began publicly dating in March.
Lenny filed for divorce from Lisa in May 2022 after 12 years of marriage and two children — son Logan, 7, and daughter Elle, 3. The former couple are still legally married.
Can’t get enough ‘Real Housewives?’
They have since been engaged in a contentious divorce battle, making headlines for cheating accusations and denials, as well as alleged verbal assaults and child support rulings.
The duo entered into a marriage settlement agreement in June, per court documents, and Page Six exclusively reported earlier this month that they were close to settling their bitter split.
Although Lenny’s followers expressed mixed feelings about his relationship milestone over the weekend, his mom celebrated — and shaded Lisa in the process.
“I will be very happy that this time you are getting a woman who love and respect you,” Marina Hochstein wrote in an Instagram comment. “You certainly did not have that in your previous marriage.”
Lisa clapped back, calling her mother-in-law “disgusting.”
