MIAMI — “Real Housewives of Miami” star Lisa Hochstein waived her appearance in court Monday as she was arraigned on a charge of interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications.

Hochstein’s attorney entered a not guilty plea on her behalf.

The judge, meanwhile, said another hearing has been set for June 8 with the trial expected to begin on June 21.

Hochstein surrendered to authorities Wednesday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center before bonding out of jail.

According to Hochstein’s arrest warrant, she and her ex-boyfriend Jody Glidden planted a recording device in the driver’s seat floorboard of Dr. Leonard “Lenny” Hochstein’s silver 2023 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV in March 2023 after the reality star asked if she could borrow the vehicle from her soon-to-be ex-husband 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.”

Glidden is also charged with the same crime as Lisa Hochstein.

Jayne 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 last week, saying, “This matter is part of a contentious divorce proceeding and does not belong in criminal court.”
