‘Real Housewives’ Star Turns Herself in Amid Shocking Spy Scandal

The star’s ex-boyfriend was arrested on the same charges earlier this week.

Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein turned herself in to a Miami jail on Wednesday, following charges of illegally spying on her ex-husband. Prosecutors allege that Hochstein, 43, “unlawfully and intentionally” intercepted, or attempted to intercept, wire, oral, or electronic communications involving former husband Lenny Hochstein, 59, and others he spoke with. The reality star’s lawyer, Jayne Weintraub, told TMZ that she “has nothing to hide” and that her surrender was arranged in advance with authorities. Lisa’s ex-boyfriend, Jody Glidden, 51, had been arrested earlier on Sunday on the same charge. Both are accused of attempting to intercept communications during the period from March 12, 2023, to March 31, 2023, according to court documents. Lenny Hochstein alleged his wife of 13 years planted a listening device under his vehicle to monitor his calls during a turbulent divorce that was finalized in November 2024. Throughout the proceedings, both sides accused each other of infidelity and abuse, with Lenny also suing Lisa for defamation in December 2023. Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden’s lawyers told Page Six that the current legal escalation is “part of a contentious divorce proceeding and does not belong in criminal court.” The Daily Beast has reached out to representation for all parties for comment.
