As Lisa went on to explain on the episode, she would visit her mom in Toronto, or her mom would come to Miami about three times a year. However, the visits became strained at one point because her mom "just got increasingly uncomfortable coming because of Lenny's attitude."
"You certainly deserve better than what you have right now," Lisa's mom said. "And your husband, I'm telling you."
"You never liked the way he treated me," Lisa said to her mom, who responded, "No."
"He never engages with any of my family," Lisa said.
"If I'm talking to him, he would just walk away," Jean continued. "So, guess what? I text[ed] him. I text[ed] him and [told] him how I feel. He never replied to my text. He never [sat] still to listen to me."
In an interview, Lisa said that her family's relationship with Lenny's relatives has been frayed for quite some time.
"At our wedding, I remember [Lenny's mom,] Marina, telling my family to address her as Mrs. Hochstein and Anatole as Professor Hochstein," she said. "If you didn't have a certain level of wealth in their eyes, they looked down on you. "
