A judge handed Haart the agency.

As of Sept. 15, Haart's four-year divorce is closed. Contempt warrants, if they exist, are still process.

Divorce court divides a company. It does not try a theft case. Page Six reported this week that a New York judge finalized Julia Haart’s split from Silvio Scaglia and awarded her 100 percent of Elite World Group plus the couple’s Tribeca apartment. That is a civil judgment after years of suits and countersuits over a modeling agency. It is not a verdict that anyone stole tens of millions, and it is not an arrest.

Haart has said publicly that contempt findings and arrest warrants against Scaglia remain unfinished business. A warrant is a direction to take someone into custody. Until a court executes it and a criminal file is tried, keep those words in the process tense. His lawyers have denied the transfer allegations that showed up in the civil record.

As of Sept. 17, 2026, the marriage is over on paper and the agency is hers on that paper.

Page Six says unsealed records from the Lively-Baldoni fight include Ryan Reynolds texts calling Baldoni a "predator and sociopath."

A text message in a court file is proof that someone wrote something. It is not a finding that what he wrote is true. Reynolds was angry in August 2024, and the records Page Six obtained show it. Baldoni has denied Lively's allegations from the start, and no jury ever ruled on them. Page Six reported the case settled in May. What is left now is the paper trail.

LAPD homicide detectives searched Joshua Tree on Friday for evidence in Christina Downer's disappearance.

A search by homicide detectives is a step in an investigation. It is not an arrest, and it is not a finding that anyone killed Christina Downer. Fox News reported the LAPD would not say what evidence detectives hoped to find in Joshua Tree, or whether they were looking for remains or a suspect. NBC Los Angeles reported that dogs were part of the search. Fox News reported a department spokesperson could not confirm the dogs. No one has been named or charged.

LAPD booked Gregory Walker on a felony assault count in the February shooting of 49ers lineman Keion White.

A booking described to a newspaper is the police account of who is in custody and on what count. It is not a criminal complaint the public has seen, and it is not a conviction. The New York Post reported that LAPD officials named Gregory Walker as the suspected gunman in the February shooting of Keion White. The Post did not report a charge against Lil Baby, who was described as the person White argued with before the shots. What a witness told police about two gunshots is an allegation. A jury has not heard it.
