365 Days: This Day

SEX, RUMORS & SOFT PORN: THE REAL-LIFE DRAMA BEHIND 365 DAYS: THIS DAY

The movie gave you yacht sex, mafia drama and a love triangle from hell. But the off‑screen story? Somehow even messier. From Kardashian-level matchmaking schemes to thirst‑trap Instagram posts that broke the internet, latestnetflix.com argues, here’s the juiciest real‑world tea orbiting 365 Days: This Day.

🔥 Romance Rumors & Flirty Setups

Khloé Kardashian’s “fake date” with Massimo himself

Kim Kardashian admitted she personally engineered a fashion‑show meet‑cute between Khloé and Michele Morrone during Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan show. She called 365 Days “this super romantic, hot, sexual show” and basically “soft porn,” then bragged about seating Khloé next to “the hottest guy” to “get her mojo back in Milan.” Kim even joked that they were doing “a whole episode about him” and he had “no clue.” Photos of Khloé and Michele looking very cozy backstage sparked instant dating rumors—only for Michele’s team to clarify there was “no relationship to speak of at all.”

Michele & Anna‑Maria: chemistry that fooled half the planet

Fans became convinced Michele Morrone and Anna‑Maria Sieklucka were secretly together, thanks to their frankly outrageous on‑screen chemistry. Gossip pages and fan accounts pushed the narrative, but interviews and later social posts have Michele insisting he sees her like a sister and colleague, not a girlfriend. Rumor mill: crushed (for now).

Michele & Simone Susinna: the Instagram that launched 1,000 ship edits

When Michele (Massimo) and Simone Susinna (Nacho) joined forces, fans expected drama on screen. What they didn’t expect was the two of them posting the same shirtless, cuddled‑up photo on Instagram, with matching captions: “I’m a liar” plus a red heart emoji. Cue instant speculation that the co‑stars were more than friends. Neither has confirmed anything; the only thing official is that the thirst level on that post was criminally high.

Megan Fox cross‑over chaos

Later, on another project, a flirty set video of Michele and Megan Fox resurfaced right as Megan’s relationship with Machine Gun Kelly imploded. Internet detectives immediately started whispering about an on‑set fling. Both camps called the romance chatter “just rumors,” and Michele publicly denied they were dating—but fans still file this one under “unconfirmed, but suspiciously spicy.”

💋 On‑Set Heat & Sex‑Scene Obsessions

“Did they actually do it?” – the question that will not die

The sex scenes in 365 Days and This Day are so graphic that viewers genuinely thought the actors were having real sex. Michele had to go on Instagram Live to spell it out: “It seems like real because we are good actors… It wasn’t real.”

Yes, there were prosthetics

For the infamous private‑jet oral sex sequence, the crew used prosthetics so it could look hardcore without actually being, well, that hardcore. Camera angles, minimal crew, and long handheld takes did the rest.

Sequel = even more explicit

If you felt like This Day had at least double the amount of sex as the first film, you’re not imagining it. Coverage of the production notes the sequel is “much, much more sexual and graphic than the original,” with more scenes, longer takes and a whole lot of carefully choreographed fake filth.

⚠️ Scandals, Backlash & “Soft Porn” Controversy

Accusations of glorifying rape and trafficking

From the very first movie, critics and activists slammed the franchise for romanticizing kidnapping, coercion and abuse. Articles and op‑eds accused the series of glamorizing rape and sex trafficking, and petitions calling on Netflix to pull the films gained serious traction.

Duffy vs. 365 Days

Singer Duffy, who survived a real‑life kidnapping and assault, publicly criticized the movie’s premise and depiction of abuse, adding moral pressure on Netflix and the filmmakers.

Michele goes on defense tour

Morrone has repeatedly defended the franchise, insisting it’s “fiction” and shouldn’t be censored. He’s compared it to violent war or mob movies where we still root for terrible men, arguing viewers can tell fantasy from real life. He also says he’s glad the controversy sparked conversations about consent and abuse—even as petitions kept rolling in.

Even Kim K calls it “soft porn”

When Kim Kardashian describes your movie as “soft porn practically” on national TV, you know you’ve hit a cultural nerve. Kim framed it as a “super romantic, hot, sexual show” while plotting Khloé’s Michele meetup, perfectly capturing how a lot of fans see it: problematic, but irresistibly watchable.

🤯 Fan Theories, Plot Drama & Fandom Meltdowns

The pregnancy secret that broke Reddit

In This Day, we find out Laura was pregnant in the first film and secretly miscarried after the tunnel incident—something she still hasn’t told Massimo. Fans on Reddit tore the story apart, calling the relationship “horrible” and begging Netflix to change the plot for the third movie. One user ranted that the future book storyline (where Laura falls for Nacho again) “sucks” and pleaded, “I am asking for Nacho!” The fanbase? Deeply divided and loudly dramatic.

“Soft porn” + Stockholm syndrome = hate‑watch heaven

Think pieces and social media threads dissect the films as the worst love story ever, a walking textbook of red flags. Yet the same people who drag it online often admit they… watched all three movies anyway. Shock value, steamy scenes and pure chaos made it a quarantine‑era obsession that people still can’t stop doom‑scrolling about.

👀 Off‑Screen Paparazzi & Power Moves

Runway makeouts and ad‑campaign heat

Michele’s post‑365 fame turned him into a go‑to “thirst casting” choice. In 2025, Page Six ran shots of him passionately making out with Irina Shayk in the streets of Naples—for a Dolce & Gabbana ad shoot. It was technically work, but tabloids treated it like a hot new romance and fans gleefully added it to the ever‑growing “Massimo’s conquests” moodboard.

From cult hit to global “bad movie we can’t quit”

Coverage from outlets like E! Framed 365 Days as one of Netflix’s most talked‑about quarantine movies—despite (or because of) the moral panic. The franchise’s combo of explicit sex, mafia fantasy and nonstop drama made it a guilty pleasure people love to drag… and secretly rewatch.
