Haart sued her ex-husband for “wrongful termination” and filed a restraining order saying in court documents that she was “terrified of him” after he became “abusive and unhinged” in the final weeks of their marriage.
He accused Haart of ‘illegally’ withdrawing $850,000 from the company account and stealing a company-owned Bentley, while she claimed he withdrew ‘millions’ to ‘finance his lavish lifestyle’ and never gave him a salary for her work as co-executive director. .
Now according to TMZJulia and Silvio reached an agreement in which he dropped his $850k lawsuit and she will not go after him to cover his legal fees.
Speaking to the publication, the mother-of-four said: “I think the fact that Silvio withdrew these cases with prejudice, meaning he dismissed them permanently, on the day discovery was due, says a lot.”
Business woman: The Netflix star, 51, married Elite World Group CEO Silvio Scaglia, 64, in June 2019, and for nearly three years, the couple ran the modeling agency together as co -CEO.
“I paid no money and I intend to continue my fraud and defamation litigation against Silvio and others named in those cases.”
She added, “Now my focus and priority is to heal through the strength and support of my family and continue to build businesses that empower others.”
The Moscow-born businesswoman who launched her career after leaving the ultra-Orthodox community of Monsey, New York, was fired from her position at Elite World Group in February and filed for divorce hours later, before filing for a restraining order.
Where did it all go wrong? In February 2022, news broke that Scaglia had abruptly fired Haart from her job as CEO, and hours later, it was reported that the Netflix star had filed for divorce, pictured together in 2017.
Julia and her family were filming the second season of her Netflix show My Unorthodox Life when the drama unfolded.
The dispute saw Silvio sue Julia for ‘illegally’ withdrawing $850,000 from a company account which she denied.
Haart was also accused of allegedly having her breasts enhanced in December 2021, while the company she co-owned with her husband Silvio is said to have footed the bill, according to Page Six.

Meanwhile, the Netflix star has claimed she did not receive a salary from Elite World Group and claims that instead of a paycheck, her expenses, including breast augmentation, would be handled by the company.
The reality star also sought a restraining order from Silvio, who she claimed was “abusive and unhinged” and allegedly even threatened to kill her.
Julia’s lawyer, Marty Singer, said in a statement at the time to DailyMail.com: “The claims against Julia Haart are not based on face or an attempt by Silvio Scaglia to divert attention from his own history of failed investments. (La Perla, Babelgum, Yewno).
“In fact, the company that is still owned by Scaglia and that has any value is the company that was run by Haart, who took over the operations of the business and, as a result, its valuation increased more than 5 times, from $90 million to $500 million.
‘The account that is the basis of a lawsuit is a jointly owned account, and the same account that Mr. Scaglia used to pay his own divorce lawyers. Earlier today, Julia filed an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery to address actions taken by Mr. Scaglia, including the alleged unauthorized termination of him.
Haart was allegedly fired from the company due to the way she ran the business “like her personal pocket” and was allegedly responsible for a “huge increase in corporate costs and expenses,” Page Six previously reported.
‘Julia was spending on extras like travel, glamour, clothes, driver. She has a full-time driver and two Bentleys,” a source said. ‘She’s got a Hamptons rental, she flies private, she stays in the penthouse in fancy hotels… she’s got custom Chanel and Gucci. She is one of the world’s biggest spenders at Louis Vuitton.
I disagree: The Netflix star claims she did not receive a salary from Elite World Group and maintains that instead of a paycheck, her expenses, including breast augmentation, would be handled by the company pictured in 2021.
Scaglia’s lawsuit against his estranged wife alleges misappropriation of $850,000 missing from the company’s account.
‘Haart made the illegal withdrawal upon receiving notice from the directors of Elite World Group LLC (“EWG”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Freedom Holding, that they would vote at the next board meeting on February 11, 2022. , in a proposal to remove her as CEO.
“The following day, Haart unlawfully transferred $850,000 from Freedom Holding to defendant Haart Dynasty LLC, a limited liability company controlled by Haart,” the lawsuit alleges.
The filing also claims that Haart withdrew more than the $250,000 limit and used the account for mortgage payments and living expenses, which violated an agreement previously made with Scaglia.

Her lawyer, Richard Edlin of Greenberg Traurig, told Page Six: “The action taken to remove Julia Haart from her position as CEO was unauthorized and had no legal effect. She owns 50 percent of the business and a [of] the two directors.
“Unfortunately, this comes at a time when Julia and Silvio are at the beginning of the divorce process. Julia will enforce all of her legal rights and remedies.
In a separate lawsuit, Julia claimed that Silvio has “become increasingly volatile, abusive and unhinged” as she petitioned the court for a restraining order from her estranged husband.
Julia wrote that she is “fearful for my safety and the safety of my children, some of whom live with me,” in her $65 million Tribeca apartment.

The mother-of-four said: ‘Recently, Respondent has become increasingly controlling and verbally and emotionally abusive towards me.
“He has routinely scolded me, calling me a ‘venomous snake’, ‘monster’ and ‘liar’, in the presence of others and sometimes my children. One of Respondent’s favorite epithets is to tell me “fuck you.”
