Julia Haart has done a mind-blowing interview, revealing information that is hard to swallow.
The fashion designer had a sit-down during which she confessed that she breastfed her brother when he was a newborn baby.
Appearing on Tuesday’s episode of Not Skinny but Not Fat, Haart opened up about her Netflix series that follows her life after deciding to leave her Haredi community and her life as a business mogul.
During the confession, she dropped this bombshell on host Amanda Hirsch: “You wanna hear a real mind–k? I nursed my brother.”
She went on to reveal that her mother, a Haredi Jew, asked her to nurse her brother. Haart stated: “My mother’s like ‘Oh, you’re already nursing your daughter, take this one too’ — and so I ended up nursing my brother and my daughter. Now that’s a mind–k.”
The former chief executive officer (CEO) of Elite Model Management revealed that the bizarre event took place after she had just given birth to her daughter, Batsheva, now 30, and her mom had welcomed her brother, Shlomo, now 29.
The entrepreneur and author stated that she was raised in a world where wet nurses were a real practice. A wet nurse is a woman hired to breastfeed another woman’s baby. This profession was eliminated in the 20th century.
The Netflix star said it is hard to explain the world she grew up in and added, “People would need to travel to another time to understand the world I used to live in.”
The creative director at the Italian luxury house La Perla said she decided to leave the community once her 23-year-old daughter, Miriam, came out as bisexual.
She explained: “No one could convince me that she was somehow flawed. When she started questioning [the beliefs] that’s when I realized it’s not [only] me, it’s the system.”
In another conversation with The New York Times, she said: “My daughter just wouldn’t conform. They were doing to her what they had done to me — trying to push her down and mold her into that flat person that they could disappear. I couldn’t let that happen.”
Amanda Hirsch asked Julia Haart about her arranged marriage, and she revealed: “I was in an arranged marriage at the age of 19 to a sad man named Yosef Hendler, who I didn’t want to be with.”
Hendler and Haart have four children — Batsheva, Miriam, Shlomo, 27, and Aron, 15.
Haart made the surprising admission that her first former husband is a “lovely” man and went on to say that he was better than her second ex-husband, Silvio Scaglia.
She said:”The guy I was forced to marry is a much nicer person than the man I chose. Go figure that one out.”
Haart filed for divorce in 2022 claiming that he was threatening to kill her. Scaglia said the accusations are false.
