Lenny Hochstein is facing a civil lawsuit filed by an unnamed woman who alleges she was drugged and sexually assaulted at his Miami home in May 2025. The lawsuit, filed on June 5, 2026, accuses the “Real Housewives of Miami” personality of carrying out a “calculated and pre-planned scheme” to lure women to his residence under false pretenses.
According to the complaint, the woman claims Hochstein gave her what he described as a “very common sleeping pill” before she lost consciousness. She alleges that she was “unconscious, physically helpless, and/or mentally incapacitated” and therefore could not consent to any sexual activity. The lawsuit further claims that the alleged sexual contact was “unwanted” and “non-consensual.”
The woman is seeking compensation for alleged sexual assault and emotional distress. No criminal charges have been filed in connection with the allegations.
Hochstein has vehemently denied the allegations. Through his attorney, Lorne Berkeley, he “categorically denies the allegations” and says his legal team has evidence that “materially contradicts the claims.” Berkeley stated that Hochstein intends to “vigorously defend himself” and present evidence that he believes proves the allegations are false.
In a separate statement, Hochstein said, “I never drugged or raped anyone” and questioned why the woman did not immediately report the alleged incident to authorities.
According to Hochstein’s attorney, the defense plans to present video footage and text messages that they claim are inconsistent with the plaintiff’s account. The lawsuit remains pending and the allegations have not been proven in court.
