MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — “Real Housewives of Miami” star Lisa Hochstein was released on bond Wednesday after turning herself in to authorities in Miami-Dade County following allegations that she secretly recorded her celebrity plastic surgeon ex-husband during their contentious divorce proceedings.
Local 10 was at Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center when she was greeted outside the jail by friends and castmates Alexia Nepola and Adriana de Moura.
Hochstein briefly addressed supporters, saying, “I just love them all. I love all my fans” and sending them well wishes, but did not directly comment on the allegations.
Her attorney, Jayne Weintraub, said, “We’re not talking about recordings,” adding that the case has “started the process” and that she hopes it “will be resolved very soon.”
Page Six published photos of the reality star smiling as she arrived at TGK late Wednesday morning, accompanied by Weintraub.
Online jail records show she had a warrant out for her arrest and a bond of $5,000.
A March 19 court filing first obtained by Local 10 News states that Hochstein and her ex-boyfriend, Jody Glidden, 52, are each facing one count of interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications.
A description of the charges states that between March 12 and March 31, 2023, the two “unlawfully and intentionally” intercepted, tried to intercept, or tried to have someone else intercept “oral statements by Leonard Hochstein and those Leonard Hochstein spoke with.”
According to Lisa Hochstein’s arrest warrant, she and Glidden planted a recording device in the driver’s seat floorboard of Dr. Leonard “Lenny” Hochstein’s silver 2023 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV after the reality star asked if she could borrow the vehicle because she was thinking of purchasing one of her own.
Lenny Hochstein, a prominent plastic surgeon in South Florida, told detectives in May 2023 that he immediately informed his attorney after discovering the device and the attorney then hired a private investigator to examine it, the warrant states.
According to the warrant, a total of 98 recordings were recovered from the device, including a conversation between Lisa Hochstein and Glidden as the device was being “wrestled into place.”
In addition to conversations between Lenny Hochstein and others he spoke to while in his vehicle, a detective recovered deleted recordings from the device, including a recording of Lisa Hochstein and Glidden engaged in “intimate activities,” the warrant states.
Records show Glidden was taken into custody Saturday. He has since been released from jail.
Lisa and Lenny Hochstein’s divorce was finalized in November 2024. They share two children.
Weintraub, Lisa Hochstein’s defense counsel, and attorneys Howard Srebnick and Frank Gaviria, Glidden’s defense counsel, released a joint statement to Local 10 News on Monday afternoon saying, “This matter is part of a contentious divorce proceeding and does not belong in criminal court.”
Glidden’s arraignment is scheduled for Thursday, while Lisa Hochstein is set to be arraigned on April 20.
