Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein and her attorney, Jayne Weintraub, exclusively spoke to Reality Blurb in the wake of news that the felony charge against Lisa for allegedly spying on her ex, Lenny, was dropped.
Specifically, Lisa, 43, was accused of spying on Lenny, 60, while the pair were going through their bitter divorce.
TMZ obtained legal documents that detailed a counselor for Miami-Dade County’s Advocate program, a pretrial diversion program, told prosecutors Lisa had finished all of the requirements for the program she had entered connected to the felony communications interception charge.
Due to this, the counselor requested the case be dismissed.
Today, in open court, the state declared the charges were dropped.
When speaking to Reality Blurb after the news broke, Lisa shared, “The Miami Beach Police Department declined this case more than three years ago. Yet the legal attacks continued, at tremendous emotional and financial cost to me and, ultimately, to our children.”
“I’m tired of seeing the legal system used as a weapon in an attempt to hurt me,” she added. “I’m grateful this chapter is finally behind me, and I’m focused on moving forward.”
Jayne, in her exclusive statement, told Reality Blurb these charges “never should have been brought.”
“The Miami Beach Police Department declined to file the charges three years ago when these allegations were first made,” she reiterated. “We are pleased that the charges were dismissed, and we can move forward with our lives.”
A report from April 1 on Local 10 News confirmed that court documents were filed against Lisa and her ex, Jody Glidden, on March 19 in regard to incidents that took place between March 12 and March 31, 2023.
Lisa and Jody “unlawfully and intentionally” intercepted, tried to intercept, or tried to have someone else intercept “oral statements by Leonard Hochstein and those Leonard Hochstein spoke with,” they alleged.
Back in May 2023, Lisa was accused of planting a “listening device” on Lenny’s vehicle, which she denied.
A report from Page Six at the time revealed that Lenny had alleged Lisa had placed “at least one” listening device in his car to “access and monitor his private, non-public communications involving this litigation.”
Although there’s been a slew of drama surrounding the RHOM women, the show currently is on pause ahead of its eighth season.
