I'm sorry but as sb who's been around since the x-factor you really don't know a lot about damoria and you've just bought into the blatant hate for it that a lot of new fans have. Damiano and Vic weren't forced by their old manager to pretend they have a story simply because they started playing with the rumor long before Marta came along. They made out for the recovery mv, Damiano used to reply to asks on ask fm in 2015-2016 about him and Vic (she was rumored to be his fuck buddy even among their classmates) and they acted like a couple during xfactor, whispering to eachother about wanting the only double bed for themselves and stuff like that. There's proof about all this and again, Marta wasn't their manager yet when they did all this stuff. Also Damiano and Giorgia weren't exclusive until she moved to Rome in 2020 during quarantine. She lived in Milan, he was in Rome and they didn't even see eachother that often. By that I don't mean he was fucking Vic during that time, Vic was dating an Italian actor Lorenzo Zurzolo in 2019 and I guess she had other flings too we never found out about, but it's well known Damiano was fooling around.  Remember that 34 year old woman he mentioned having a story with in an interview? That was Belen Rodriguez, famous model in Italy. They started hooking up after x-factor and was attending their concerts in early 2018. My point is that there's a lot of info you wouldn't know if you became a fan a year ago about a fandom that existed for 4 years before it. I don't believe Vic and Damiano are in love or anything. But I can't understand why saying they used to hook up as teenagers is a taboo topic. But believe that evil Marta was forcing them to pretend or whatever if you want to.
