"Real Housewives of Miami" star Lisa Hochstein released from jail after accusations of spying on her ex-husband
Reality television star Lisa Hochstein, known for "Real Housewives of Miami," was released from jail Thursday evening after turning herself in on a felony charge related to allegedly spying on her estranged husband, prominent plastic surgeon Lenny Hochstein.
Hochstein was accompanied by her lawyer and interacted with those present as she made her first public statement since her release.
When asked by CBS News Miami how she was doing, Hochstein declined to comment on the allegations.
"I love all my fans — thanks for the support," Hochstein said as she exited.
According to investigators, Hochstein and her ex-boyfriend, Jody Glidden, are accused of placing a hidden recording device in Lenny Hochstein's car in 2023 during their contentious divorce proceedings.
The report goes on to say one of the last recordings heard on the device before the car was returned was the voices of Lisa and Glidden having a discussion, along with "the distinct sound of a device such as the hidden recorder being wrestled into place".
Glidden turned himself in to the police on Sunday and was released on a $5,000 bond, denying the allegations against him.
Hochstein's lawyer spoke briefly with reporters, stating they were focused on "taking a shower, and getting out of here" and starting the legal process, which they "hopefully resolve very soon". Hochstein joked that her time inside was "amazing, 5 stars". As she entered a waiting car, she blew a kiss and said, "mwah, love you!".
The Hochsteins share two young children together. CBS News Miami reached out to Lenny Hochstein for comment on the charges, but had not heard back.
