“Far from being fundamentalists, we have all been brought up in a very open Orthodox type of life: We watched TV and movies, we traveled, - and we were all educated.”įeinsod, now a principal at the global accounting firm of Ernst & Young, recalled how Haart wanted to fit into the community even more: “Julia wanted a more Jewish name and she changed it to Talia when she was in high school. She disagreed with Haart’s claims on the show that women were oppressed in the community. “We’ve been friends since elementary school.” “Julia and her family were welcomed by the community,” Feinsod, 50, recalled.

“She says she was held captive, but that’s not true.” Julia Haart’s transformation from an Orthodox Jewish to a sexy fashion designer is a focus of her Netflix reality series “My Unorthodox Life” - which some say is unreal. “Julia’s hanging on to this word ‘fundamentalism’ - and sensationalism sells,” said a former friend of Haart’s from Monsey. It’s a fairy tale of how she fled her Orthodox Jewish community in Monsey, NY, to make her way in the fashion world: launching her own own shoe line, becoming creative director at the luxury fashion brand La Perla and, now, serving as the CEO of Elite World Group - a talent agency which includes Elite Model Management and represents the likes of Kendall Jenner, Iman and Helena Christensen.īut insiders say that she is painting an ugly, unfair picture of life in her former community - as uneducated and so restrictive it left her suicidal. On the buzzy Netflix reality series “ My Unorthodox Life,” sexy, glamorous Julia Haart has quite a story to tell.
