It looks like the charges against My Unorthodox Life star Julia Haart are unending as new reports allege that she funded a breast enlargement surgery with money from the company she formerly co-owned with her now-estranged husband, Silvio Scaglia. Since Julia was removed as CEO of Elite World Group, Silvio has made a series of complaints about the fashion designer's attitude towards work. Silvio filed a petition against her claiming that she abused her position as CEO of the talent media company. The 63-year-old says Julia withdrew $850,000 from a joint account. Former staffers also attested to the Netflix star's extravagant spending.
A source familiar with the estranged couple's situation later revealed that the company's new CEO, Paolo Barbieri, was carrying out an investigation into the company's finances to determine if Silvio's claims were correct. Meanwhile, Julia, who filed for divorce from Silvio hours after being sacked from Elite World Group, later noted that she had an agreement that the company would pay for all her expenses. A representative for Julia also said all accusations of impropriety made against Julia are demonstrably false. He explained that Silvio designed her compensation structure and approved all her expenses.
As Julia and Silvio's legal battle proceeded, Julia's lawyer Marty Singer, released a statement stating that the claims against his client "are not based in fact and an attempt for Silvio to take the attention off of his history of failed investments." However, Julia and her lawyer may have more explanation to relay as an internal investigation recently revealed that the 50-year-old reality star had a "boob job" and charged the procedure to Elite World Group just before her firing. Additionally, a source confirmed the allegations to Page Six, saying, "Julia had a boob job in Westchester over Christmas." The source further revealed that Julia's assistant Robert Brotherton had a makeover that the company paid for.
A different source familiar with the incident revealed that Julia charged her breast augmentation procedure to the company. Internal financial audits discovered her action in the wake of her exit. However, amid divorce proceedings and Silvio's allegations, Julia is reportedly still filming My Unorthodox Life. Although Julia and Silvio are not on good terms at the moment, the reality star is still living at the $65 million Tribeca apartment she shared with him. With how the estranged couple's legal battle keeps escalating, an insider speculates that they will not be living together for long.
Silvio and the My Unorthodox Life star's legal battle seems to be getting more complicated daily. Although Julia and her attorney have been able to counter Silvio's claims, the Netflix star now has more questions to answer with the latest allegations against her. At this point, one can not be certain of Julia and her lawyer's reaction. That being said, one has to wait for future developments from both parties to determine where this legal battle is headed.
