the star of the Netflix hit “My Unorthodox Life”
Pong told how Haart, a mother-of-four from Monsey, NY, flew to Tokyo for a 40-minute meeting with Scaglia in April 2015 after continually begging to meet the mogul — and Pong said it was clear to him that she wanted to seduce Scaglia, who was married to his first wife, Monica, at the time. In late 2012, Haart had left her marriage and the conservative Jewish fundamentalist community in Monsey to start a career as a shoe designer.
Pong now claims that Haart had promised to pay the staffer and the staffer’s cousin for the introduction — and said he found out when the pair came to him in 2016 asking for the cash after Haart did not pay them. A rep for Haart said that, as written in Haart’s book, a driver in Paris who worked with a cousin of Pong offered to introduce her to him in exchange for a percentage of sales. The pair demanded money and the rep claimed that Pong helped to stop them “threatening and harassing” Haart.
“I don’t blame her,” he said. “That shows that she’s very aggressive, but she bluffed a lot — saying that everyone loved her shoes, that her company was growing.”In 2015, Haart flew to Tokyo for a 40-minute meeting with Scaglia.“She was always asking ‘When are you going to see Mr. Scaglia? How does it work at La Perla, who makes the decisions?’ I was honest and said ‘It’s the big boss himself, Silvio,'” Pong recalled.
Scaglia’s friend and business associate Louis Pong introduced the couple for professional reasons — and told Haart: “Please don’t try and hook up with Silvio in a personal way.”Finally, he invited Haart to meet Scaglia in Tokyo for an hour-long pitch meeting. Scaglia was impressed enough to ask her to go to Italy and present her ideas to the La Perla creative team. She flew to Bologna and won an initial contract to design one season of shoes.
Nonetheless, Pong soon heard from a staffer at one of the company’s stores in Japan who saw Scaglia and Haart “being intimate.”
I don’t have a dog in this fight but I have to say this seems to be a hit piece against Julia Haart. Are we to believe this strong powerful man was rendered helpless against the charms of this woman? Truly misogynistic.
