The Real Housewives of Miami (RHOM) fans have shown their support for Lisa Hochstein after heartbreaking scenes of her discussing her split from Lenny Hochstein.

Lisa and Lenny married in 2009 and share two children together—son Logan, 7, and daughter Elle, 3, both born via surrogate—and although their plans to divorce were announced earlier this year, the scenes are only just now playing out on the fifth season of Bravo's RHOM.

At the end of last week's episode, Lisa dropped the bombshell news to co-stars Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova, Nicole Martin, Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Kiki Barth, Adriana de Moura, and Marysol Patton that her marriage was in trouble, during a girls trip to the Florida Keys.

Then on the latest installment, which was released on Peacock on December 22, Lisa gave more details of what exactly was going on between her and famed plastic surgeon Lenny.

She revealed to the ladies that Lenny had told her he wanted a divorce and that he was already starting to date again, and that he wanted her and their children to find somewhere else to live.

Later, Lisa received a phone call from her mother-in-law, Lenny's mom, who was staying at the marital home for the time that Lisa was away on the Florida Keys trip to help with the kids.

On the call, Lenny's mom told Lisa that Lenny had thrown her and the children out of the house so that he could bring his new girlfriend round.

Lisa then answered a call from Lenny and told him she did not want "that girl" around her children. She then spent the evening trying to get in touch with her children's nanny, and asked the cameras to stop filming her.

"My kids need me, I'm 130 miles away from home, I feel helpless," she told producers in the confessional interviews.

Fans were left shocked by the dramatic scenes and rushed to social media to show their support for Lisa.

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "Watching lisa go through all of this on national tv [sad emoji] but I love how all the girls are very supportive and there for her [sad emoji] Its forever f**k lenny #RHOM."

As another posted: "@adrianathereal @larsapippen @lisahochstein please know that everyone is supporting Lisa! Lisa has a pure heart and everyone knows it. Karma is a b**** and no amount of money will save Lenny in the future when karma gets him. #RHOMiami #RHOM."

"Respect to Lisa for still toughing it out and staying on the girls trip despite going through the divorce that is so fresh. #RHOM," added a third.

While a fourth wrote: "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaeby!!!! Lenny will rot in hell for the way he's acting with Lisa!! #RHOM."

Scenes of the next morning showed Lisa packing her suitcase and telling her castmates that she was leaving the trip early and heading back to her children to try and sort things out.

Lisa recently gave an update into her situation with Lenny during the December 11 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, confirming that she is living with her kids at the family home, despite Lenny's request for her to leave, while Lenny is currently living "elsewhere."

She also opened up to Bravo's The Daily Dish about co-parenting and dealing with the ongoing divorce while raising her young children.

"I'm trying my best to just make this transition for them [as] easy as possible. But they're smart, and they see that things are different," she said.

"Look, I'm not the first person to get divorced, [and] I'm not going to be the last. It's very sad, but we'll get through it. A lot of kids go through it, and they come out fine," Lisa continued, adding: "The biggest challenge, I feel like, is going to be co-parenting, because we're not in a good space right now.

"My hope is, eventually, we'll get to that space where we can, I don't know, even one day be friends. But it's so ugly right now. It's just not good."

New episodes of The Real Housewives of Miami are released Thursdays on Peacock, the home of streaming for Bravo.
