My favorite Miami Herald writer, Lesley Abravanel has contacted Lisa Hochstein for a short interview about the lawsuit that recently came to light where Lisa sues a blog commenter. According to Lisa she is aquainted with the person who made the libelous comment and that is what caused her to sue. Lisa tells The Herald, “This was filed awhile ago, and somehow it surfaced. This isn’t something I was going to publicize. It’s not the kind of exposure I was looking to get. I do want to put out there that I get it, that I’m out there on TV and there’s gonna be anonymous bloggers and posters who will say what they want about me.”
Lisa continues, “This person is an acquaintance we’ve invited in our home and who has smiled in our faces. She had no shame in saying these horrible things. If you are going to put something that nasty, saying someone’s an escort, a porn star, that’s a big deal to me . . . . The fact that she knows me, and I’ve seen her in my home, well, it just sits the wrong way . I’m not going to go after every blogger and commenter out there. Trust me, I’ve been called way worse. I have thick skin as part of this whole show, but this really struck a chord. I didn’t want it to get out of hand, and I’m all for freedom of speech, but when you know someone personally and act like you’re friendly with them and then go making an accusation like that, it’s a big deal.’’
Lisa also explains that housewives are often asked to be brand ambassadors for products and if she allows this woman to libel her online and continue to slander her from within her social circle it could limit her income opportunity. Lisa did not want the lawsuit to be a public issue, but it seems someone else did. This makes way more sense than Lisa just going after a random commenter on a gossip site. Does this change the way you see things?
These people are sue happy!!!
I agree with the commenter who brought up her reputation and behavior affecting any possible future branding opportunities. Her drunkeness and outlandish lingerie parties seriously limit her credibility. And it’s not an enormous leap to think she could have been paid to do just that. Oh wait, she already is.
Maybe she is just trying to may a point with this person for whatever reason. There maybe more to the story if they were friends at one time who knows. I would never sue myself but who knows why people do things
So let me get this straight, according to Lisa this is going to hurt her credibility but getting liquored up and parading around in her panties on national television is helpful? Where do I get a Bravo contract?
I still think it’s ridiculous. I mean come on, just don’t be friends with the person anymore. Now that you see that the person is a phony, backstabbing bitch, ignore it and her, and it will go away. Now that she sued her, well, this is why we all know about it now.
I mean I highly doubt that the brands who want her to be an ambassador read the comments on blogs. Just saying’.
Don’t doubt that. It is exactly the same as employers looking for dirt on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Yes, brands and companies looking to capitalize on her current “fame” will indeed do their internet research. Which is probably why Lisa’s lawyers had her do this.
It does change the way I see it. Someone she knows doing this is worlds away from some random person just making stuff up.
I am so glad Lisa explained this because it makes much more sense. I really liked her an wish her well.
Lisa seems very personable and she wants to have children. I could understand why she would want to take action, because nobody wants their children reading that kind of shit online.
And the fact that this person pretended to be a friend and wrote this crap, shows their true character. Good for Lisa for not putting up with this fuckery.
