- Lisa Hochstein has turned herself in following allegations that she was spying on her ex-husband Lenny Hochstein.

- The *Real Housewives of Miami *star has been charged with interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications.

Lisa Hochstein has turned herself in following allegations that she was spying on her ex-husband, Lenny Hochstein.**** "Lisa voluntarily turned herself in to be processed. She will be released on her own recognizance," her attorney, Jayne Weintraub, told ** in a statement Wednesday.

According to TMZ, the *Real Housewives of Miami* star was accused of spying on Lenny, which resulted in a felony charge. Weintraub told the publication that the reality star "has nothing to hide," and her turning herself in was part of a prearranged agreement that was set earlier this week.

In her own statement, per Page Six, Lisa said, "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 added: "I’ve heard nobody has been charged with eavesdropping in Miami history."

Lisa's ex Jody Glidden was arrested on the same charge on April 12 and pleaded not guilty. Per PEOPLE, he was released on a $5,000 bond. He waived his personal appearance at his arraignment and requested a trial by jury.

Prosecutors previously alleged that Lisa “unlawfully and intentionally” attempted to intercept communications involving her ex-husband, referring to an incident that happened more than three years ago, in March 2023, when Lenny accused Lisa of allegedly placing a "listening device" in his car.
