Samantha Markle Blasts Meghan In Court: I Can Prove She’s a Liar! on November 9, 2023 at 11:24 pm The Hollywood Gossip

Published

on

For years now, Samantha Markle has been attempting to make a career out of publicly denigrating her famous sister, Meghan Markle.

She started by bashing the Duchess of Sussex in interviews.

Then, when the news outlets realized that Samantha barely knows Meghan and has nothing of substance to say, the elder Markle churned out a self-serving memoir.

When the book predictably flopped, Samantha switched gears again and started filing frivolous lawsuits against Meghan.

Her latest suit is a desperate attempt to cash in on Meghan’s obnoxious habit of telling the truth about her own life.

Yes, Samantha is suing Meghan for stating that the two of them had few interactions while growing up and have never been close as adults.

Sam is 17 years Meghan’s senior, and the half-sisters had different mothers, factors that, according to Meghan, led to a relationship so distant that it bordered on nonexistent.

Specifically, Samantha claims that Meghan lied about the nature of their relationship during her 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview and in last year’s Netflix docu-series Harry & Meghan.

If you’re feeling like you’re having deja vu reading all of this, that’s because a judge already dismissed Samantha’s defamation suit against Meghan back in March.

But because she has much to gain and nothing to lose (and, of course, nothing better to do), Sam appealed the decision and scored herself a hearing in a federal courtroom in Tampa on Wednesday.

If Sam is successful at this stage, then the case will proceed to trial.

That will amount to a victory for the plaintiff, who will achieve what is almost certainly her real goal in all of this, humiliating her sister with a drawn-out courtroom drama that would necessitate the airing of all their petty family grievances.

(Even Sam likely realizes that she has no chance of winning a case that one judge already laughed off as an attempt to sue Meghan for “expressing an opinion.”)

Being the media hound that she is, Samantha seized the opportunity to talk to the press outside the courtroom this week.

“I think the truth stands on its own, so I’m optimistic and thankful that we have a justice system that gives us the chance to present the facts,” she told UK tabloid The Sun.

Asked if Meghan’s comment about the two of them barely knowing each other was “hurtful,” Samantha made a plea for sympathy.

“Of course it is but you know, people change, they have agendas, they have other things influencing their lives and, you know, it doesn’t change reality,” she said.

“It doesn’t change my heart, I think I’m a lot stronger than that, but it’s sad. I think got to live with that and hopefully some day she can embrace the truth and a better part of herself,” she blathered on.

“I would want that for her but until then I have to get back a lot of my life that was lost from a lot of damage over several years. All we can do is move forward based on truth and positivity.”

Sam’s efforts to play the victim might be more compelling if this weren’t the same woman who previously accused Meghan of faking her pregnancies and purposefully causing their father to have a stroke.

“This baseless and absurd lawsuit is just a continuation of a pattern of disturbing behavior,” Meghan’s lawyer, Michael Kump, said when Sam initially filed the suit.

“We will give it the minimum attention necessary, which is all it deserves.”

Neither Meghan nor her attorney commented on today’s hearing, which will hopefully result in yet another defeat for Samantha.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

RHOM’s Lenny Hochstein Sues Estranged Wife Lisa Hochstein Over Abuse Claims on December 2, 2023 at 12:26 am Us Weekly

The Real Housewives of Miami alum Lenny Hochstein has filed a defamation lawsuit against estranged wife Lisa Hochstein over a recent social media post where she hinted he abused her.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Lenny filed a civil suit on Friday, December 1, against the reality star and is seeking damages up to $100,000 and attorneys’ fees.

The lawsuit comes days after Lisa shared an Instagram Story photo of a bruise on her arm and hinted that Lenny had previously abused her.

“Didn’t want to have to share this, but I’m left with no choice. I’m being harassed through the court system and through ‘others’ by Lenny and it needs to stop,” Lisa captioned the November 22 post, which has since expired, but the plastic surgeon included a screenshot in his filing. “This was almost two weeks old from last season. You may have caught this bruise on the episode when I opened up to the women on the show about the divorce.”

Real Housewives of Miami viewers know it’s been a rocky road for Lisa and Lenny Hochstein, but there were signs their marriage was over before they officially called it quits. Bravo viewers were introduced to Lisa and her plastic surgeon husband when she joined the cast of RHOM during season 2. For two seasons, fans […]

In his court filing, Lenny, 57, vehemently denies Lisa’s allegations and claims his ex is harassing him. Lenny claimed in his lawsuit that Lisa, 41, got the bruise after she “lost her balance” while walking up a set of stairs while the pair were having an argument.

“It came about because [Lisa] as usual was yelling at and berating [Lenny] when he came home from work, as she did almost daily telling him how he never does anything right, so [Lenny] attempted to walk away and started walking up the stairs and [Lisa] walked in front of [him] going backwards up the stairs so she could continue yelling in [his] face and [she] lost her balance and fell on a stair,” read Lenny’s filing.

“Nothing can be further from the truth,” he adds in court docs about the alleged abuse claim.

“[Lisa’s] lies of abuse are not a surprise to [Lenny] as [Lisa] stated publicly that she needs to retaliate against [her ex] for what [Lisa] claims is harassment,” continues the court filing. “Yet [Lenny] is not harassing [Lisa] but rather presenting the truth which [Lisa] does not like.”

Lisa and Lenny, who tied the knot in 2009, have faced plenty of ups and downs, many of which have played out on RHOM.

Lenny filed for divorce from Lisa in October 2022, claiming to Us at the time that the pair “contemplated divorce for the last several years.” He went public with girlfriend Katharina Mazepa that same month.

Lisa, meanwhile, alleged that Mazepa was Lenny’s “mistress,” though Lenny claimed that the couple began dating after he and Lisa had already separated. Lenny proposed to Mazepa in July.

Calling it quits. Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein and husband Lenny Hochstein announced their split in May 2022 — but going public was only the beginning of their messy divorce proceedings. Lenny confirmed the breakup shortly after the plastic surgeon was spotted partying with model Katharina Mazepa in Miami. “Lisa and I are […]

In turn, the doctor accuses the reality star of cheating on him with her current boyfriend, Jody Glidden, in the newly filed documents. Calling her the “real ‘homewrecker’ of Miami,” he claims Lisa was with Glidden the night the CEO was supposed to get married to his ex-fiancée.

In response to the lawsuit, Lisa tells Us: “We haven’t received anything. This DOES seem like something ‘litigator Lenny’ would do as he’s made it clear he’s out to financially strangle me. He’s not happy unless he’s suing.”

Last year, Lisa accused Lenny of cutting off her credit card, leaving her unable to “buy food and diapers” for their children. The duo share son Logan, 8, and daughter Elle, 4. In April, Lenny was ordered to pay his estranged wife $8,000 a month in temporary support.

While it seemed like the pair were on the verge of settling their divorce, Lenny filed to withdraw his settlement in August.

Being a Real Housewife isn’t all diamonds and rosé — just ask the many Bravolebrities who’ve legal woes have played out in the spotlight. While some franchises tackle the lawsuits on air — including Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa and Joe Giudice’s fraud case, Real Housewives of New York City’s Sonja Morgan’s bankruptcy filing […]

“Lisa came up with an agreement in June. I thought it would have been something that made her happy and allow her to move on because it’s far more generous than our premarital agreement stipulated,” Lenny exclusively told Us at the time. “Lisa will never be happy. I tried my best and instead of having gratitude she doubled down and called me nasty names and accused me of heinous things.”

While attending BravoCon in October, Lisa confirmed to Us that she and Lenny are still “not divorced” officially. She added that something new comes up “every day” and it has caused her “a lot of stress.”

“We have a lot of things that we haven’t figured out, and it’s daunting,” Lisa explained. “It’s just every day. It’s taking up so much of my time when I could be doing other things and working towards a healthier, better life, and instead, I’m still dealing with this, unfortunately.”

RHOSLC’s Angie Katsanevas Reveals Her Biggest Housewives ‘Eye-Opener’ on December 2, 2023 at 1:00 am Us Weekly

Published

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Angie Katsanevas has learned that not everyone can be trusted after she made the transition from “friend” to full-time Housewife.

“I’m naive, I want to be friends with everyone,” Angie, 50, exclusively revealed during the latest installment of Us Weekly’s “Housewives’ Happy Hour.”

She continued: “I learned that everyone is not your friend, and that’s sad. I was hoping that everyone would have the same mentality as me, but it’s a little eye-opener that sadly you have to be cautious with some people.”

Angie initially appeared on RHOSLC during season 2, becoming a regular cast member when season 4 debuted in September. Fans have seen her clash with Meredith Marks this season as rumors about Angie’s husband, Shawn Trujillo, having affairs with men take center stage. Tension began to build after Angie crashed Meredith’s Palm Springs trip, and the drama hasn’t slowed down since.

No one can hold a grudge quite like a Real Housewife. From the East Coast to the West Coast, every Housewife series has an iconic feud (or five) that leaves fans forced to pick sides. Over the years, Real Housewives of Potomac viewers were shocked to watch Candiace Dillard‘s relationship with Monique Samuels turn into […]

“I say your jewelry’s dusty, and this is where you take it? Look, here’s the bottom line. If people need to hitch their wagon to me to be relevant, let them.” Angie said in an October episode. “Everyone in Salt Lake City knows the truth. These rumors about infidelity have never existed.”

Despite the rumors about her personal life, Angie is trying to stay above it all. “The biggest thing I’ve learned is don’t believe everything because people will say anything to be relevant,” she told Us.

When asked about Meredith’s sporadic use of different accents — viewers were taken aback by the sound of Meredith’s voice during a disastrous dinner in Palm Springs — Angie claimed, “Meredith has multiple personalities. … Today I’m British, today I’m Greek, today I’m American. I don’t know, it’s fun, good for her. Lots of role playing going on.”

She went on to speculate that alcohol might contribute to Meredith’s bizarre behavior. “Look, I stay pretty sober while filming and just in general, so I don’t know if it’s the wine,” Angie told Us. “I don’t know what it is that brings on these accents and these personalities.”

It’s an undisputed Bravo fact that sitting next to Andy Cohen at a Housewives reunion — especially as a newbie — is an honor. From Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Shannon Beador to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s Monica Garcia, several reality stars became the talk of the Bravo universe after getting the special […]

Angie’s spontaneous arrival in Palm Springs was all in good fun, but she will “never again” be showing up to any trips uninvited. “I wish people had the same sense of humor that I do,” Angie told Us. “Look, I’m all down for the fun, and next time, hopefully, I’ll be the hostess and I will include everyone.”

While she has certainly made her fair share of frenemies on the show, Angie has also made some unbreakable bonds with her costars. “Not everyone’s your friend,” Angie said. “But I have my friends by my side, and I’m so grateful for that.”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
