‘ORTHO’ COUPLE AT WAR

‘Abuse’ a ‘sham’

A lawyer for “My Unorthodox Life” star Julia Haart called estranged husband Silvio Scaglia “a batterer with money to burn,” as Scaglia’s lawyer called her abuse allegations a “sham,” during a Friday court hearing in their bitter split.

Haart (right), 50 — a former member of the Orthodox Jewish community — filed for divorce from Scaglia in February after he canned her as CEO from his company Elite World Group.

The Netflix personality then secured a temporary order of protection in family court against Scaglia — which her lawyer Danielle Petitti argued during a Manhattan Supreme Court video hearing Friday should be made permanent.

Petitti accused Scaglia, an Italian billionaire, of harassing and threatening her client by hiring a public relations rep for $50,000 a month to wage a media war against her and a high-profile criminal defense attorney to “convince” prosecutors to bring criminal charges against her.

“This is the behavior of a batterer with money to burn,” Petitti said.

Petitti summarized testimony from Haart in the ongoing trial about a series of incidents when Scaglia allegedly berated and yelled at Haart — including one alleged January 2021 fight that culminated in Haart crying naked on the bathroom floor.

“All of the evidence shows a pattern of domestic violence and a pattern of control,” Petitti said.

But Scaglia’s lawyer Robert Wallack accused Haart of making up the abuse allegations, saying she has no proof for any of them.

Wallack said the false claims are an attempt to get back at Scaglia for firing Haart and to help her secure an order of protection against Scaglia so he couldn’t come back into their 10,000-square-foot downtown Manhattan triplex penthouse at 70 Vestry St.

Justice Douglas Hoffman said he would issue a written decision at a later date.
