Lisa Hochstein, recognized from The Real Housewives of Miami, voluntarily surrendered to authorities following accusations of unlawfully intercepting communications related to her ex-husband. The 43-year-old reality TV personality was booked in Miami-Dade on Wednesday, with bail set at $5,000.
In a significant development, Hochstein and her former boyfriend, Jody Glidden, each face one felony count for illegally intercepting oral communications connected to Leonard “Lenny” Hochstein. The alleged incidents reportedly occurred between March 12 and March 31, 2023, when the duo is said to have attempted to intercept conversations involving Lenny and others.
Notably, earlier reports revealed that Lenny accused his ex-wife of installing a listening device in his vehicle during their divorce proceedings, escalating tensions in an already fraught separation.
Meanwhile, Hochstein has denied all allegations. Her attorney emphasized that the case is part of a broader, highly contentious divorce dispute and argued it should not be treated as a criminal matter. She voluntarily turned herself in for processing and is expected to be released shortly.
Hochstein and Lenny were married for 13 years and share two children. They announced their separation in 2022, with the divorce finalized two years later. Hochstein began dating Glidden in 2023, though reports indicate the couple has since parted ways.
This case represents another dramatic chapter in a high-profile divorce saga that has played out both in court and in the public eye, drawing renewed attention to the couple’s complex history.
