MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — “Real Housewife of Miami” star Lisa Hochstein surrendered to authorities Wednesday after being accused of planting a recording device in her ex-husband’s vehicle as they were going through divorce proceedings.
Page Six published photos of the reality star smiling as she arrived at Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center late Wednesday morning, accompanied by her attorney, Jayne 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.”
“This morning she voluntarily turned herself in to be processed and will be released on her own recognizance,” Weintraub told Local 10 Wednesday.
