My Unorthodox Life star Julia Haart is celebrating a major win in her divorce from Silvio Scaglia.
Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday, January 21, that Haart, 53, was awarded 50 percent interest in Freedom Holding — the company that owns the exes’ business Elite World Models agency — and received power of attorney over Scaglia’s 50 percent. The judge also ruled that Haart could receive $7.4 million in unpaid management fees from 2019 to 2021 and half the proceeds of a Kees Van Dongen painting owned by Freedom Holding that Scalgia sold for nearly $3 million. Haart also won half the cash withdrawals that Silvio made from their businesses since their divorce started.
Haart also reinstated herself as the interim CEO while she searched for someone to fill the role. Haart declared in a statement that “justice was served.”
Page Six further reported on Tuesday that Haart was also awarded the $65 million apartment and nearly $10 million in cash.
Pat the … divorce papers. After Erika Jayne went to court to end her marriage to Tom Girardi, Bravo fans were shocked to learn that what seemed like one of the strongest couples in Real Housewives history was not so picture-perfect after all. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star announced in November 2020 that […]
Haart’s lawyer, Michael Beyda of Chemtob, Moss, Forman and Beyda, also released a statement: “Julia Haart has faced immense challenges over the past three years, yet her resilience and commitment to her values have been unwavering. 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.”
Us confirmed in February 2022 that Haart filed for divorce from Scaglia, 66, two years after they tied the knot. While the pair was married, Haart was named the CEO of Scaglia’s model and talent agency, Elite World Group.

Following the announcement of Haart and Scaglia’s split, she was fired and claimed to be “completely blindsided” by his actions. One day after filing for divorce, Haart was accused of making “illegal withdrawals” from the EWG bank account after she exited the company.
Days later, Page Six reported that Haart filed a petition for a restraining order against Scaglia and alleged that he became “increasingly volatile, abusive and unhinged.”
Us exclusively confirmed in March 2022 that Scaglia filed a complaint against Haart and alleged that she stole a $401,500 Bentley that was owned by EWG. Haart went on to file a lawsuit in June 2022 claiming that Scaglia withdrew $1.5 million from the account holding her CEO salary.
“While he holds himself out to the media and others as a billionaire, in truth, Scaglia’s so-called wealth is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Haart’s indentured servitude must be remedied,” the suit alleged. “It cannot be that a man can convince his wife to give up millions in dollars in salary and benefits, plus an employment contract at the peak of her career (along with the security and independence that come with those things) and then leave her with nothing when his bait-and-switch is revealed.”
In December 2022, Scaglia dropped the lawsuits filed against Haart. “I believe the fact that Silvio withdrew these cases with prejudice, meaning dismissed permanently, on the day discovery was due, speaks volumes,” Haart said in a December 2022 statement. “No money was paid by me and I intend to continue to pursue my fraud and defamation litigation against Silvio and others named in those cases. Now my focus and priority is to heal through the strength and support of my family and to continue to build businesses that will empower others.”
