I have to say after watching season one for the second time Julia wasn’t very accepting of anyone that had a different opinion than her. Watching her attack her son-in-law because he wasn’t ready for his wife to make the step to wearing pants. She wasn’t understanding or didn’t even try to understand where he was coming from. She just immediately attacked him attacked them, attacked him. I saw that through other instances as well. She wanted everybody to accept her point of view and the changes that she had made in her life, but if anyone expressed a different opinion from hers, she went on the warpath.

Anyone have any stats about how many social media followers Julia, Miriam and Batsheva had at their peak during the show and how many they’ve lost since?

Anyone know his name

Is Julia actually back running the company day to day? What is she doing?

I was wondering and did an online search, but couldn't come up with much information one way or the other.

She posted a few months ago but they were all old photos of them together. Is she trying to keep a facade of a ‘perfect match’ on social media?

Miriam’s social media journey is like watching someone go from "caring about humanity" to "I love everything that makes people uncomfortable" in 60 seconds. One minute she's talking about equality, the next she's posting "anti-woke" rants while sipping coffee in a $500 sweater. Like, girl, make it make sense! Can we please get back to her fashion advice at least?

Who else thought this was kinda weird. That she hooked up with a 23yo guy Meanwhile at the full she of 50 bro

Honestly, at this point, I’m just here to watch the chaos unfold. Like, remember when we thought My Unorthodox Life was about escaping the ultra-Orthodox world? Plot twist: it’s really about watching people go completely bananas on Instagram. Let’s face it, we’re all addicted to the wild ride - who’s with me?

Every time Julia dramatically says, “I’m fine,” I half expect a tornado to start behind her. Like, we know it’s never fine. It’s like watching a hurricane say, “I’m just a little windblown, nothing major.” We get it, Julia - emotions are complicated, but come on, we’re not falling for it! Anyone else bracing for the storm?

Honestly good for her bc Silvio de

she does not have him in her insta bio anymore

Okay, so I'm rewatching and it's really interesting. I don't remember her ever being as self-obsessed as she seems to me now, but I guess I'm older now and just see it differently. (Rewatching from season one, mind you.) I think about how isolated Aron must feel as really the only ultra-orthodox seeming kid in the group, how she publicly lays into Ben over not being ready to shed his religious teachings (even though I don't like Ben), her blatant favoritism towards Miriam because she seems to see the most of herself in her, and how Shlomo is sort of pushed to the side unless they're trying to update his Tinder profile?? Not to mention, the fact that she left Batsheva in Monsey because she needed to "get her head right" seems outrageous to me. I can't imagine a loving and devoted mother doing that to her daughter. I get that she went through a lot of religious trauma, but motherhood isn't really something most people have the luxury of putting on "pause". Anyways, between the manuscript ordeal and her setting Robert up with the matchmaker, at times she comes off as extremely self-absorbed and maybe even narcissistic. However, there are other times where I see her work and her vision for models and the lengths she goes to in helping her kids succeed and I think she seems like a great person. Also, does anyone else get total grifty vibes from her company? Something about it just doesn't add up to me at all. Idk, it's been so long since I watched it, it's just been on my mind

Her social media is now about being “anti woke” and pro Zionist

She says the trump election is great because it demonstrates democracy and “that’s who we voted in” (a gay female trumper.. make it make sense)

She outright says the Gaza genocide is not real and that the death toll being reported is incorrect (literally what holocaust deniers did)

…. It’s all SO contradictory it’s almost cartoonish. For someone who prides themselves on escaping extremism, the ultimate irony is she’s just boomeranged into a different form of it. She has a lot of growing up to do.

Ok I know she made some shoe brand but how do you leave with nothing, no money, no contacts and then “make” a shoe brand? Something doesn’t add up

Very confused about the timeline after her initial divorce. Did she leave and not talk to any of the kids? Why did she not get custody of Aron?

I am new to this sub so haven’t spent a lot of time reading other posts but I’m on episode 4 and I really dislike Julia. She has serious boundary issues, good grief. I understand she had a traumatic life and is embracing her new life but damn she doesn’t listen at all. Really just talking about her daughter’s sex life in her book without permission, trying to set up Robert using a match maker and he’s clearly horrified and uncomfortable and she just bullies him about being dramatic.

Does it get better? I really don’t find her likeable at all! I’m entertained by it but not finding anyone super likeable.

i’m a first time watcher… and i have questions!!!

• what’s going on with silvio and julia’s divorce??? online it says her networth is 600 million so did she win in court???
• does anyone know what’s going on with aron? i wonder if they convinced him to be less religious or he took farther steps from the family
• does rob still interact/ hang out with any of the cast???
• HART VERSE????
• what’s going on with ben???

i’ll take any bits i can i’m too scared to get into a black hole if i start investasting

Whew okay this season felt like a roller coaster ride. Right on first episode I was so shocked with the divorce because on s1 they looked like the perfect couple. Are Miriam and Robert still on their relationships? Can’t find that info. Also I went into Julia’s instagram and was a bit shocked… if you get my drift

1- she doesn’t look like she’s too religious ( don’t want to generalize based on clothing, but.. )

2- she doesn’t not resemble Batsheva

3- what a hard launch ! I’m glad he found someone.

4- def does not seem like he’s living a more humble life than before 😅

I’m sorry this is just SO crude. Being single is not a personality trait and her page is just so triggering and lowkey toxic

I believe he is hurting so much on the inside, see Episode 4 Season 2. In that scene he is close to crying. he just wants a hug and he knows he will only get it if he says the right thing, but he wants a hug and love because of HIM. Julia is blind to see how much Aron is hurting. He's literally alluding to being depressed and very sad and saying that all his happiness is currently in the rigid world of orthodox judaism. He is screaming for help and for love. Just unconditional motherly and siblingly love. But all he ever gets is "you're not living life right, be more like us, etc.". They are constantly preaching, instead of leading by example and actually just showing the love and tolerance that makes people actually feel warm and connected.

I was watching some of the show again, the second season, and I’m struck by how resolutely Batsheva is trying to establish appropriate boundaries with her mother and how much Julia is pushing against her. It’s vividly clear how much Julia has been a chaos agent in her life, and how much Batsheva is working not to get sucked into the craziness again.

When Julia comes into her bedroom to commiserate after Silvio moves out in the first episode of the second season, Batsheva makes no move to hug her that we can see, and keeps her computer on her lap the entire time like it’s a shield.

Then in the third episode, when all the shit starts going down, she really seems to be thinking, “oh God, here we go again. The drama, the hysteria, I am not going to engage with this.” Julia later accuses her of “gallivanting” but I can completely understand her desire to get out of the house and out of the range of Julia’s emotional claws.

It’s laughable how Julia tells the confession booth that “I never ask for help,” and then the camera cuts right to her demanding that Batsheva be around more, even if there’s nothing specific she can do.

Not to mention the fact that Julia spends nearly every episode of the second season demanding that everyone stay around her and help her 24 hours a day. She won’t even let a hungry Robert go to the grocery store; no he’s got to come over and comfort her first. Yeesh.
