Jayne Weintraub, who serves as Lisa’s defense attorney, alongside Howard Srebnick and Frank Gaviria, representing Jody, released a joint statement. They emphasized, “This matter is part of a contentious divorce proceeding and does not belong in criminal court.”
The charges stem from allegations that Lisa and Jody unlawfully intercepted communications related to Lisa’s former husband, Lenny Hochstein. This development has added a dramatic twist to the ongoing divorce saga.
Jody’s arrest reportedly occurred on a Saturday, leading to both him and Lisa facing charges of “interception of wire, oral or electronic communications” in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The case continues to unfold as legal representatives argue the charges are more suited for family court than a criminal trial.
Jody was reportedly taken into custody on Saturday, and now, he and Lisa are facing one count of each of “interception of wire, oral or electronic communications” in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The count they each are facing pertains to action they are accused of taking against Lenny years ago.
A report on April 1 from Local 10 News confirmed that court documents were filed against Lisa and Jody 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.
Jody was no longer listed in the online database at the prison he was taken into custody of as of Monday. It remains unclear whether he was released or bailed out, and when either of those things took place.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office confirmed that the warrant had been sealed.
According to Page Six, a warrant is currently out for Lisa’s arrest as well.
For background, the lawyer representing Lisa is the same attorney who represented her three years ago when Lenny and m his now-ex-fiancée, Katharina Nahlik, brought stalking charges and tried to get an injunction. The judge issued an order after a full trial that there was no just cause for even a temporary restriction and dismissed the case.
Lisa and Jody began dating in late 2022, and reportedly split last year.
In May 2023, Lisa was accused of planting a “listening device” on his vehicle, which she denied.
At the time, a report from Page Six revealed that Lenny had alleged Lisa had placed “at least one” listening device in his car in order to “access and monitor his private, non-public communications involving this litigation.”
The Real Housewives of Miami is currently on pause ahead of its eighth season.
