The Real Housewives of Miami personality Lisa Hochstein turned herself in to authorities in April 2026. She and her ex-boyfriend, Jody Glidden, face charges of intercepting wire, oral, or electronic communications related to her former husband, Lenny Hochstein.
Lisa’s attorney, Jayne Weintraub, told TMZ that the reality star willingly surrendered and “has nothing to hide.” Lisa was released on the same day after her mugshot was taken, as she was freed on her own recognizance.
Court documents obtained by Us Weekly suggest that Lisa and Glidden “unlawfully and intentionally” intercepted communications from Lenny and his associates in March 2023.
Glidden was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, in March 2026 and remains out of the jail’s database of inmates after entering a not guilty plea.

The Implications of Charges Against Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden
Rachael Bennett, a certified family law specialist and senior attorney at Sullivan Law & Associates, analyzed the legal situation on Legally Us.
“This is quite serious. They’re accused of secretly placing a listening device in Lenny’s car. In some states, recording someone requires ‘All Party Consent,’ and Florida is one of those states,” Bennett, who is unconnected to the case, exclusively told Us in April 2026. “If you record someone without their permission in Florida, it’s considered illegal. This is a third-degree felony, meaning she could face up to five years in prison if convicted.”
Lisa Hochstein’s attorney, along with Jody Glidden’s legal representatives, also stated to Us that, “This matter is part of a contentious divorce proceeding and does not belong in criminal court.”
Lisa and Lenny Hochstein, who have two children, finalized their divorce in 2024.
Bennett suggested that Lisa and Glidden’s defense could “provide key context” in the case.
“Divorces can bring out the worst behavior, even in reasonable individuals,” Bennett noted. “The defense might be seen as an attempt to downplay the situation, so Lisa should be careful not to underestimate the implications if these allegations are true.”
Details of Lisa and Lenny Hochstein’s Divorce
Lenny Hochstein filed for divorce from Lisa in May 2022 after 12 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in November 2024, and they share custody of their two children, Logan and Elle.
Despite the divorce settlement, their legal disputes have persisted. According to court documents obtained by Us, the ex-couple continues to clash over property and financial matters.
In a filing on April 3, 2026, Lisa requested temporary attorney’s fees after Lenny contested a court’s suggested order regarding valuable belongings. She alleged that Lenny “continues to litigate this matter to no end to exert financial pressure on [me].”
Lisa’s legal team also claimed that Lenny admitted in writing to having a net worth of $175 million, while her “income is uncertain and inconsistent.” Lisa receives a salary from RHOM, which is currently on hold by Bravo, and other brand endorsements.
