Hochstein Exits Legal Drama: 'Finally Free'
23 Jun
Summary
- Lisa Hochstein's eavesdropping charges were dismissed.
- The charges stemmed from a contentious divorce proceeding.
- Hochstein completed a pretrial diversion program.
Former Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein has announced that all charges related to an eavesdropping case involving her and boyfriend Jody Glidden have been dismissed. Hochstein, 43, shared on social media that she is grateful the situation is behind her, stating the charges should not have been filed and calling her release a 'burden' lifted.
The legal proceedings were initiated in April, stemming from allegations that Hochstein and Glidden, 52, attempted to secretly record conversations involving Lisa's ex-husband, Leonard "Lenny" Hochstein. Their representatives indicated at the time that the matter was part of a contentious divorce and not suitable for criminal court.
Court documents confirmed on Monday, June 22, 2026, that the criminal case against Hochstein and Glidden was officially closed. This followed their completion of a pretrial diversion program, a non-prosecution alternative offered by the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office. This program allows non-violent offenders to avoid a criminal conviction by successfully completing specified conditions.
Lisa Hochstein was married to plastic surgeon Lenny Hochstein from 2009 to 2024, and they share two children. The Real Housewives of Miami franchise has been placed on pause by Bravo.
