The Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein has turned herself into authorities after allegedly spying on her ex-husband.
Lisa, 43, was booked Wednesday shortly before noon, according to Miami Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Center’s inmate records. Her bond has been set at $5,000.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that she and her ex-boyfriend Jody Glidden, 52, had each been charged with one felony count of unlawfully intercepting oral statements made by Lisa’s ex-husband, Dr. Leonard “Lenny” Hochstein. Glidden was arrested Saturday and released on $5,000 bond.
Lisa denies all allegations against her. She was seen smiling Wednesday as she walked into Miami’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with her attorney, Jayne Weintraub, for her booking.
In a statement to The Independent, Weintraub said: “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.”
Lisa‘s marriage to Leonard — a well-known plastic surgeon in South Florida — was documented on the hit Bravo series, which she has starred on since season two. Filming was paused last month due to low viewership.
Leonard and Lisa were married for 13 years and share two children. They announced their split in 2022 and finalized their divorce two years later. She began dating Glidden in 2023 and they reportedly broke up in January of this year.
According to a criminal complaint filed March 19, Lisa and Glidden are accused of “unlawfully and intentionally” intercepting, trying to intercept or trying to have someone else intercept “oral statements by Leonard Hochstein and those Leonard Hochstein spoke with” between March 12 and March 31, 2023.
Leonard accused his ex-wife of planting a “listening device” on his car to monitor his calls, which he alleged compromised the integrity of their divorce proceedings, Page Six reported in May 2023.

Lisa said in a statement to Page Six that despite the charges against her, she is focused on an upcoming custody hearing with her ex-husband.
“I don’t want to let anyone distract me from my big divorce case this month. I’m focused on the well-being of my children, who have been through enough,” she said, adding: “I’ve heard nobody has been charged with eavesdropping in Miami history.”
Bravo confirmed last month that they were pausing RHOM. The show most recently finished airing its seventh season in October. The series’ last installment featured Lisa, Guerdy Abraira, Adriana De Moura, Stephanie Shojaee, Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Julia Lemigova, Marysol Patton and Kiki Barth.
