The drama around “Real Housewives of Miami” star Lisa Hochstein is heating up. Days after reports that the Bravo vet was facing criminal charges for allegedly spying on her ex-husband surfaced, she turned herself in to the Miami jail to get the legal process started. The news comes after Lisa was engaged in a contentious, bitter divorce with her ultra-wealthy ex, Lenny Hochstein, which was featured on earlier episodes of the “Real Housewives” franchise.
Lisa Hochstein In Custody After Turning Herself In To The Authorities On Criminal Charges
According to a new report from TMZ, Lisa’s attorney, Jayne Weintraub, shared that the reality star voluntarily turned herself in to jail after charges were filed against her earlier this week. Lisa’s team said the TV personality has “nothing to hide” and turning herself in was part of a “pre-arranged agreement.”
The Blast shared the news earlier this week that Lisa and her current boyfriend, Jody Glidden, were facing criminal charges and being accused of “unlawfully and intentionally” intercepting Lenny’s phone calls between March 12 and March 31, 2023.
Lisa Hochstein Was Accused Of Planting A Listening Device On Her Ex-Husband’s Vehicle Amid Their Divorce
The legal documents alleged that Lisa planted at least one “listening device” on Lenny’s car with the intention of listening to conversations he had about their divorce.
Lenny claimed his ex-wife “compromised the integrity” of their divorce and stated he had “no knowledge” of what information she had obtained.
After the initial allegations, Lisa’s rep denied the claims, calling them “lies” and accusing Lenny’s team of attempting to “distract” the public.
“This court has already sided with Lisa on many of these issues, including the lies that are being presented by the woman who broke up their home and family,” Lisa’s rep added.
Lisa Hochstein Was Emotional About Her Divorce From Her Ex, Lenny
Lenny filed for divorce from Lisa in 2022, citing “irreconcilable differences” and later stating the “marriage is irretrievably broken and there is no present hope for a meaningful reconciliation.”
Lisa got candid about the reality of divorce on episodes of “Real Housewives of Miami.” During separate interviews, she also addressed the challenges of being “blindsided” by the news.
“With two young children involved, as a mom I’m going to focus all of my energy and time on them,” Lisa said before blasting Lenny for his alleged “reckless handling of the situation.”
Throughout their divorce, Lisa also lodged accusations against Lenny’s girlfriend, Katharina Mazepa, calling her “extremely disturbing” and a “home wrecker.”
Another ‘Real Housewives’ Star Is Facing Legal Trouble
Lisa and her boyfriend Jody aren’t the only Bravolebs facing legal troubles, according to The Blast. “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie, are facing several fraud charges.
For those unfamiliar, the pair were arrested in October 2025 and accused of reporting a fake burglary to collect large payouts from insurance companies.
The legal documents stated Wendy and Eddie allegedly filed insurance claims for items that had already been returned and refunded.
If convicted, Wendy and Eddie could spend up to 15 years in prison.
At BravoCon 2025, Wendy opened up about the charges and thanked the audience for supporting her family.
“You know, it’s an unfortunate situation, and right now I can’t say too much, but I will say when the time is right, I will share my story with everyone, and for now they’re just allegations, so we will continue to push forward,” she said.
Will Wendy And Eddie Speak About Their Case On The Show?
At the “RHOP” reunion, Wendy shared a little more about the case before eventually telling host Andy Cohen that more would be revealed during the legal process.
Wendy and Eddie are scheduled to begin their separate trials in the middle of filming for season 11 of “RHOP” in May 2026.
While it’s unclear exactly what Wendy and Eddie will discuss on camera, viewers can expect her case to be a major storyline in the upcoming batch of episodes.
According to a previous report from The Blast, the next season’s cast includes Wendy and her husband Eddie, Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Ashley Darby, Stacey Rusch, and Tia Glover. Robyn Dixon will return to the show as an official friend of the group.
