Amid charges of allegedly installing a listening device in Lenny’s car, the 43-year-old star of Real Housewives of Miami chose not to attend the court session in person. Instead, her lawyer appeared on her behalf to file the plea, and a potential trial date was discussed.
According to Local 10 News, Lisa faced arraignment on April 20 for “interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications.” The judge has scheduled a follow-up hearing for June 8, with the trial preliminarily set to commence on June 21.
Fans of RHOM may recall that Lisa turned herself in at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center last Wednesday, shortly after Jody, 52, was detained on identical charges. She was released on bond six hours later.
As RHOM fans may have seen, Lisa surrendered herself to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center last Wednesday, days after Jody, 52, was arrested on the same charge. Six hours later, she bonded out.
According to the report, Lisa and Jody are accused of installing a listening device in the driver’s seat floorboard of Lenny’s 2023 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV, which he had allowed Lisa to borrow since she was considering getting one for herself.
Once it was discovered, Lenny, 59, told detectives that he’d contacted his lawyer, who proceeded to hire a private investigator to examine the device, which included 98 recordings, one of which featured Lisa and Jody talking as they “wrestled [the device] into place.”
Following the news of Jody’s arrest earlier this month, Lisa’s attorney, Jayne Weintraub, released a statement to Reality Blurb, which read, “This matter is part of a contentious divorce proceeding and does not belong in criminal court.”
Also on Monday, Lisa shared a telling message on social media, seemingly in regard to the charge against her.
“Timelines matter,” Lisa wrote on Threads on April 20.
The Real Housewives of Miami is on pause ahead of its eighth season.
