Newly divorced NETFLIX star Julia Haart, 52, invented her own brand VIBRATOR

My Unorthodox Life star Julia Haart dealt a small blow to her ex-husband Silvio Scaglia by criticizing his skills in the bedroom – while announcing the launch of her very own vibrator.

The 52-year-old – who spent the first 40 years of her life in an incredibly strict Orthodox community – has been incredibly outspoken about sex positivity since fleeing her ultra-conservative religion, and is now taking her ethos a step further by designing her very own sex toy.

According to Julia, she has unique expertise in the field because she was “dependent on outside help for years” during her marriage to 64-year-old Scaglia, from whom she is in the middle of an acrimonious divorce.

Julia will follow in the footsteps of a growing list of celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Cara Delevingne, who have tried to remove the stigma around vibrators, though the Netflix star and businesswoman tells DailyMail.com she believes her sex toy could revolutionize will bring to the industry.

Joking that the vibrators currently on the market “don’t do s*** for me,” Julia explained, “For someone like me, who’s been using a vibrator for 20 years, it doesn’t really work much.”

‘The [vibrators on the market at the moment] have two triple A batteries or you have to charge them and they go out in 45 minutes.”

“It’s great for new people or novices, but for someone like me, I need the power of four double-A batteries, which you only get from the batteries attached to the penises.”

Many of the vibrators launched by other stars — including Goop founder Gwyneth, 50 — focus on a small, discreet design, but Julia says her version will maximize power over subtlety.

‘This [new vibrator] is my invention, because my problem is, the ones that are small, that don’t have male appendages attached, look fancier…but they’re very weak,” she continued.

‘It doesn’t do anything for me. So I invented the very first vibrator that’s just as powerful as the one attached to the penis, except it’s just clitoral stimulation.”

Throughout the first two seasons of her Netflix show, Julia has proven to be incredibly open when it comes to sex positivity, regularly talking to her kids about their own sex lives.

And when it comes to her latest venture, she’s also enlisted the help of her kids, who she says have thrown in several name suggestions.

“I haven’t mentioned it yet, but my son [Schlomo] had a great idea; “Becumming Haart,” she laughed.

Reality star Julia was originally named Talia Leibov before she left her husband and took three of her four children Bathsheva, 30, Miriam, 23, and Schlomo, 27, from their Hasidic Jewish community to break free from the shackles of the religious conventions of the community. .

Julia has always dreamed of working in fashion and tried to pursue a career in that field, and she’s gone from strength to strength in the decade since she left her Hasidic Jewish enclave in Monsey, New York.

While she likes to joke about her new vibrator business, Julia has been candid over the years about how sex toys played an integral role in discovering her sexuality, after living for decades in a community that shunned any form of sexual contact. pleasure.

“The first orgasm I had was at age 35 – with a vibrator, after 16 years of marriage,” she shared The mail in 2021. “I’ve never heard of an orgasm, let alone a vibrator.”

Once reserved for sleazy adult shops in backstreets, the sex toy industry has gone mainstream in recent years and has become a multi-billion dollar industry.

A slew of celebrities, including singer Lily Allen and actress Dakota Johnson, have promoted the use of sex toys in recent years.

However, it was Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth who normalized sex toy use among the hot mommy set, regularly touting vibrators of all shapes and sizes through her Goop brand – which also boasts its own sex toy designs.

In addition to sex toys going mainstream, Gwyneth was one of the first lifestyle platforms to categorize sex toys as “wellness” rather than “adult toys.”

British model Cara also made brief forays into the sex toy industry as co-owner and creative director of sex toy brand Lora DiCarlo.

Cara worked extensively with Oregon State University’s Robotics & Engineering Lab, which helped design the Lora Di Carlo sex toys.

On her sex toy promotional tour, Cara said, “The relationship you have with yourself is the most important in the world. And this isn’t just about pleasing yourself, it’s also about exploring and loving yourself.”

Despite Cara’s passionate effort to promote her sex toy less than a year later, the award-winning company closed abruptly without explanation, leaving orders unfulfilled before the company filed for bankruptcy.

With the stage sex for more sex positivity in Hollywood, Julia hopes her business expertise from previous ventures will help her ensure that her own vibrator launch is nothing but a lucrative success – while enabling her to establish her own brand away from the ones she launched with her ex.

After giving up her Jewish faith, Julia found love again in New York City with La Perla owner Silvio, whom she married in 2019.

Soon after, Silvio named Julia CEO of his global management company, Elite World Group, which represents more than 4,000 models, actors, singers and artists.

However, shortly after the cameras stopped rolling on the first season of their hit Netflix show, the couple’s marriage was caught in a storm of scandal when it was revealed that they were separating.

The couple initially released a statement saying they were working towards an amicable divorce – but within days their divorce proceedings had degenerated into a furious war of words, with Julia accusing her ex-husband of suddenly kicking her out of Elite World Group, while she claimed he blindsided her with the divorce.

She also claimed in legal documents that Scaglia had begun a “media campaign to destroy both her personal and professional reputation.”

Among the many allegations the Italian businessman leveled against the woman he once claimed to love were allegations that she embezzled more than $850,000 in company funds and held company property, including a luxury custom Bentley.

In several press releases between February and July 2022, Scaglia claimed he was “days away from applying [Julia’s] arrest” and portrayed her as a “swindler” bent on meeting him, trapping him, and “cheating” him into falling in love with her.

In a March 2022 press release, he announced that he would be hiring well-known criminal defense attorney, Benjamin Brafman, to conduct “a thorough investigation of Ms. Haart to determine whether she has violated federal, state, or local criminal laws.”

Julia has thrown herself into work and made several public appearances in the wake of her self-proclaimed ex-billionaire’s attempts to evict her from her Tribeca abode.

Last week, DailyMail.com revealed that Scaglia had been unsuccessful in getting Julia evicted from the luxury Manhattan apartment that was once their marital home.

In an affidavit filed earlier this year, the fashion designer claimed that Scaglia had “cried poverty” in an attempt to get her evicted from the $70 million penthouse apartment in Tribeca.

Scaglia had been trying to force the sale of the property because Elite World Group (EWG) – the company he and Julia had once built and ran together – was in such “distress” that its future depended on releasing that money.

Julia hit back, accusing him of “draining the treasury” with “very reckless spending.”

In a court ruling handed down last week by the New York Supreme Court, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, Julia won her battle to stay in her home.

Scaglia lost his bid to put the apartment on the market or have her pay monthly fees, which he estimates at nearly $170,000.
