Julia Haart, an American businesswoman, was sacked from her husband’s company, Elite World Group.
According to US Weekly, Elite World Group staff received a memo on February 9 announcing that Paolo Barbieri will now serve as the company’s CEO, succeeding the 50-year-old fashion designer.
According to an insider, Haart was entirely surprised by the termination. Haart divorced her 63-year-old husband, Italian entrepreneur Silvio Scaglia, following her dismissal from her position.
The pair married in 2019, and Scaglia appointed her CEO of Elite World Group. Apart from that, he took her surname.
According to Page Six, the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before their July 2019 wedding. Additionally, they claim that cameras from the reality show were rolling throughout Haart’s firing.
The former La Perla creative director invited the cameras from her Netflix series My Unorthodox Life inside her office without understanding what would happen. According to a company source, things are “about to become messy.”
Haart, according to a lawyer for her, owned 50% of the business and was one of its two directors, US Weekly reported on February 10.
