“The Real Housewives of Miami” star Lisa Hochstein has turned herself in to Miami authorities over allegations that she spied on her ex-husband, her legal counsel confirmed.
Jayne Weintraub, the reality TV personality’s legal counsel, said in a statement shared with USA TODAY on April 15, that the matter is part of a contentious divorce proceeding that does not belong in criminal court.
“This morning she voluntarily turned herself in to be processed and will be released on her own recognizance,” Weintraub said.
Lisa Hochstein and her ex-boyfriend, Jody Glidden, 52, both face one felony count of unlawfully intercepting “oral statements” from her ex-husband, Leonard “Lenny” Hochstein, and others he spoke with, according to documents filed in the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida in March. Both Lisa Hochstein and Glidden have pleaded not guilty.
Glidden, who previously appeared on “The Real Housewives of Miami,” was arrested April 12 and later released on a $5,000 bond, court records show. He pleaded not guilty the next day and requested that the court give him an additional 15 days to file legal motions and asked for a jury trial.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office for comment. Bravo declined to comment on the case.
When did Lisa Hochstein and Lenny Hochstein split?
Lisa Hochstein and Lenny Hochstein, a renowned plastic surgeon, announced their split in 2022 after 13 years of marriage and finalized their divorce in 2024, according to People.
The former couple share two children, 10-year-old son Logan and 6-year-old daughter Elle, for whom Lenny was ordered to pay $15,000 in child support every month, per People.
In a 2022 interview with People, Lenny Hochstein said, “Lisa uses these court filings to portray me poorly in the press.”
Lisa Hochstein revealed her relationship with Glidden to Entertainment Tonight in February 2023.
“He’s a great guy. He’s been super supportive of me,” she told the outlet, adding that she admires Glidden’s empathy and that he “wants to motivate me to do better, be my best. So it’s a lot of things that I’m not used to dealing with or used to having from my previous relationship.”
People reported that fans started to speculate the pair broke up in January after she posted a video venting about a “hectic” few months and also liked comments about “new beginnings.”
