While commenting under a fan page's Instagram post, Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden shed light on the ongoing speculation about the latter's alleged drug abuse after a scene in the episode saw him leave the room for "some shot and AC."

Jody commented that he was a "grown man" living in Miami and asked that even if he was "doing that," who cared. However, he clarified that he was not involved in any illegal activities and explained that he was a "fitness fanatic" who barely consumed alcohol.

The Real Housewives of Miami season 7 star's boyfriend further said that he didn't like being on camera but was dating a reality star. He added that he found it "awkward" and "weird" but was trying to make the most of it. Jody further said that his friends, who were also present at the party, were not comfortable being filmed but were there to celebrate his birthday.

He revealed that almost instantly after arriving at the party, his friends made their way to the master bedroom. He clarified that none of his friends wanted to hang out in the heat.

"Spoiler: I'm barely ever in any group scenes because this isn't my thing. I'm there to support Lisa, not get pulled into chaos," he added.

The Real Housewives of Miami season 7 star Lisa Hochstein also addressed the situation at hand under the same Instagram post and called it "a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened."

She wrote that Jody and their friends who were not public figures, were hanging out in their primary suite with other friends and family. She clarified that they were not in some "solitary bathroom."

"Our friends did not want to be filmed, so they sought out privacy in our hangout spot. Any implication beyond that reality is completely false and upsetting," she added.
