Netflix Star Julia Haart Celebrates Divorce Victory with Family After Three-Year Legal Battle
Edited by: TJVNews.com
Julia Haart, the star of Netflix’s ‘My Unorthodox Life’ and founder of the ‘Body by Julia’ clothing line, recently celebrated a significant legal victory in her contentious divorce from Silvio Scaglia. As The New York Post reported on Thursday, Haart marked the occasion with an exuberant dance party at her New York City home, surrounded by her children and champagne flutes, as DJ Khaled’s anthem “All I Do Is Win” blared in the background.
Haart’s daughter, Batsheva, shared the celebratory moment on Instagram in a video that captured the joyful scene. In the video, Haart, 53, is seen jumping, dancing, and hugging Batsheva while singing along to the upbeat track. “Celebrating my mom’s win in her divorce case!” Batsheva captioned the post, adding emphatically, “Justice is served.” As The New York Post report detailed, the festivities also included Haart’s other children, Shlomo and Miriam, and reflected the family’s shared relief and pride in Haart’s perseverance throughout the tumultuous legal process. Haart’s youngest son, Aron, is learning in a yeshiva in Jerusalem and was not present at the soiree.
In a heartfelt earlier post, Batsheva praised her mother’s resilience during the three-year ordeal. “For the past three years, my mom has been fighting for her life to prove her truth,” she wrote on Instagram. “She is the most inspiring woman in my life because no matter how dark her life got, she didn’t give up.” Batsheva described Haart as a “true fighter for freedom” and expressed her gratitude for her mother’s strength and determination. The New York Post reported that the emotional support from her children has been a key source of strength for Haart during the bitter legal proceedings.
The divorce saga began in 2022 when Haart filed to end her marriage to Scaglia after three years. The split quickly devolved into a contentious battle, with Scaglia firing Haart from her position as CEO of Elite World Group, a company they co-owned. According to the information provided in The New York Post report, tensions between the couple had escalated by late 2021, with the pair reportedly living separate lives by December of that year.
Over the next three years, the legal dispute grew increasingly bitter. Scaglia accused Haart of misappropriating $850,000 from their company’s accounts, alleging she used the funds as her “personal piggy bank” to launch her own clothing brand. Haart denied the accusations and countered with claims of her own, suing Scaglia for fraud based on her belief that she owned 50 percent of the company, a claim that ultimately proved unfounded. The New York Post report also revealed that Haart secured an order of protection against Scaglia during the divorce proceedings, describing him as “abusive and unhinged.”
This decision solidifies Haart’s position within the company and paves the way for her to regain control over her professional future. In addition to the business victory, Haart was awarded the couple’s 16-room Tribeca triplex penthouse, a property they shared during their marriage. As The New York Post report highlighted, the judge also ruled in Haart’s favor regarding financial compensation, granting her $7.4 million in unpaid management fees for the years 2019 through 2021.
Reflecting on the decision, Haart expressed her deep sense of gratitude and joy. “Words cannot fully express the immense joy and gratitude I feel in my heart,” she told Page Six. “Throughout this journey, I held steadfast to my belief in truth and justice, deeply trusting that if I stayed the course, the truth would ultimately prevail and the wrongs done to me would be made right.” Haart’s statement emphasized her belief in the importance of standing firm in the face of adversity and her confidence that justice would ultimately be served.
Haart also shared her appreciation for the judge’s decision, specifically thanking Judge Pearlman for holding Scaglia accountable for his actions. “I am profoundly grateful to God for granting me the strength to persevere and to Judge Pearlman for holding Silvio accountable and ensuring that justice was served,” she said. The New York Post reported that this victory is particularly meaningful for Haart, who has faced intense personal and legal challenges throughout the divorce proceedings.
Her attorney, Michael Beyda, also weighed in on the significance of the ruling, describing Haart’s resilience in the face of adversity. “Julia Haart has faced immense challenges over the past three years, yet her resilience and commitment to her values have been unwavering,” Beyda said. “This victory is a testament to the power of staying true to oneself and refusing to stoop to the level of opposition. We are deeply grateful to Judge Pearlman for holding Mr. Scaglia accountable for his actions and inactions,” he added, as reported by The New York Post.
As The New York Post report noted, this ruling not only restores Haart’s financial and professional standing but also serves as a powerful symbol of her strength and determination. It is clear that, despite the hardships she has faced, Haart remains resolute in her pursuit of justice and her commitment to moving forward with her life, empowered by her newfound legal victories.
