Lisa Hochstein, from the Real Housewives of Miami, told TheMortonReport of her bein’ born a poor cold Canadian who ended up in the warm climate of Miami.
“Well, I grew up in Toronto, Canada so it’s a big deal to be able to move somewhere nice and warm.
All of my friends were really in the same industry—acting and modeling mostly—and everyone wanted to get their visas and move to the States, because that’s where you can really work and do more.
So, I was actually headed to the West Coast (NOTE: Lisa spent some time in Las Vegas…) but I met my husband and I guess you could say he imported me! I’ve been here for five years now.”
Lisa is planning on returning to the RHOM… if it’s picked up for season three… and Lisa is also planning on pushin’ her face cream IF she’s back. Lisa also extrapolates on her fitness regime and her baby-makin’ journey.
What’s much more interesting than Lisa’s blah, blah, blah chat above is HOW Lisa’s husband, Lenny Hochstein, acquired the Hochstein’s present home on Star Island.
According to BizJournal… Lenny is a managing member in “StarIslandFinancial”… a company that scooped up distressed properties. The Hochstein’s present home was purchased in foreclosure proceedings from long-time Star Island resident, Jeannette Branam…
One of the island’s oldest residents, Jeannette Branam, is fighting a three-year battle against a foreclosure at 42 Star Island Drive by Miami Beach plastic surgeon Leonard Hochstein. Branam has lived at the south end of Star Island since 1978. Her family’s company fell on hard times, according to the foreclosure complaint. Branam defaulted on payments to JP Morgan Chase on a $10 million mortgage three years ago. She hasn’t made payments since.
Branam alleges the bank should have allowed a short sale that she was working on, before the note was sold to Star Island Financial LLC at a 28 percent discount for $7.2 million in November 2011.
According to Branam’s attorney, David Philips of Miami, Paolino was a member of Star Island Financial. The exact means of conveying interest in the note to Hochstein wasn’t disclosed, but Hochstein is now a managing member of Star Island Financial.
Photos of the Hochstein’s Miami house…
(Thanks to SH reader “JR”!!)
Toronto isn’t cold, but its people sure are.
The above photo is the best she has ever looked. Why did she do so much to her face!? These women just end up making themselves look older than they are. A lot of them start looking deformed. Lisa H, Shana, Jax L, Adrienne, Danielle, Heather D. I could go on. There is a woman named Jennifer Stano who is not a “housewife”, BUT she is a total talentless, moronic, fame whore. Check out her YouTube videos and blog, pathetic. Anyway, she was so physically beautiful, I mean stunning!!! Now she’s just another plastic looking, older version of her former gorgeous self. It’s hard to look at, not sexy, ladies. I’d rather have crows feet, than look like an alien. JMO
You are so right about Jennifer Stano. I looked her up and she was so pretty, a natural beauty, before. Now she looks like all the other plastic surgery disasters.
Yeah, it’s really unfortunate. At least she has her billionaire husband, to fall back on though, LOL.You should check out her closet tour on YouTube. She is so delusional, crazy and fun to watch.
I will, thanks for the suggestion!
I just checked her out. This was the first video that sparked my attention. Girl still got makeup on at the end. Who she think she foolin? Pretty though.
She is truly more obsessed with herself, than a Kartrashian ever could be!
She has a video called “How to: Curl your hair” it’s absolutely bizarre. O_o
bahahahaha. She had me at “curling iron is like a POLL” Good gravy. She is bad as MeGo
LMAO!!! Yes she is. Her blog is also SUPER entertaining. I always go there when I’m either bored, or when I want to feel more intelligent. She is an epic fame whore. She’s a lot like Missy, but with actual money and better looks.
This Stano character looks like a charter member in the cult of narcissism.
exactly
she has real money
Ahaha! I love you for letting us know about this national treasure! Very entertaining!
LOL She’s definitely a good time.
I thought it was Kim Kardassian. Looks like lip injections, nose jobs, and fake eyelashes make everyone look alike
That makes sense. She was the chick who wanted to “lighten the mood” by getting all professional on that pole, during dinner. #justsayin’
Lisa’s face is distracting. Her husband’s face is distracting. Too much plastic going on with them. OTT, I love Miami and hope they are back for season 3.
Her husband’s face is this up one side and right back don the other. I am dying to know who the heck keeps voting for him over on FRE. bahahahaha
