What did the online trolls accuse Melissa Satta of?
The TV presenter hit out at online trolls who accused her of having too much sex with Berrettini as the Italian ace struggled with a number of injuries.
Satta told : "It was something that had been going on for months, when our story became known in January.
"[They say] 'Berrettini doesn't win because Satta is distracting him, she's too demanding'… But I held back."
Satta unleashed an epic social media rant in June 2023, where she raged against the "bullying and sexism" she had been subjected to.
Berrettini has also hit back against the claims.
Satta added of her experiences: "[This has happened before] with my ex-husband [Boateng] who suffered from pubalgia.
"Even there they attacked me saying that we had too much sex and that was the cause of his physical problems.
"[The injury Berrettini has] is an injury in the same place as the one in 2021, when I didn't know him. But in any case - do I really have to answer to these people?"
