Days of Our Lives: Belle Black Slammed as ‘Spoiled Brat’ After Funeral Behavior

BELLE BLACK’S FUNERAL FIASCO LEAVES SALEM DIVIDED

The Drama That Had Everyone Talking

Just when you thought Salem couldn’t get messier! Belle Black managed to turn her father’s funeral into a sister-bashing session that has fans absolutely FURIOUS. During John Black’s emotional farewell (which aired June 9-13, 2025), viewers caught Belle and Carrie Brady bonding over their mutual disdain for absent sister Sami Brady.

And let me tell you—the fallout has been EXPLOSIVE.

When Grief Meets Long-Standing Grudges

Here’s what went down: While Salem gathered to say goodbye to the legendary John Black, his daughters decided THIS was the perfect moment to rehash decades-old drama. Carrie was overheard telling Belle she shouldn’t feel bad about her affair with EJ DiMera considering what Sami did to her and Austin.

Really? At their FATHER’S FUNERAL?

The timing couldn’t have been worse. Or more typical for this family, honestly. We’re talking about the same Belle who—let’s not forget—was kidnapped by Sami as a baby back in 1993. That’s right, Sami literally tried to sell her baby sister on the black market to hide John’s paternity. So maybe, just maybe, there’s some unresolved trauma there?

The Family Feud That Won’t Die

Look, I get it. The Brady-Black family tree is more tangled than a soap opera love triangle (and that’s saying something!). Belle has every right to have complicated feelings about Sami. The woman terrorized her for YEARS. From the kidnapping to the constant manipulation, their relationship has been nothing but toxic.

But here’s the thing…

Sami wasn’t even there! She was absent due to scheduling conflicts, with Eric Brady reading a letter from her instead. So Belle and Carrie were essentially trash-talking someone who couldn’t defend herself. At their dad’s funeral. While Marlena Evans was grieving just feet away.

Fans Are NOT Having It

Social media went absolutely WILD after this scene aired. One viewer posted: “In today’s episode Carrie told Belle that she shouldn’t feel too bad for being with EJ considering what Sami did to her and Austin.” Another fan called their behavior “nasty,” and honestly? They might have a point.

The controversy has split the fanbase right down the middle. Some viewers found the sister bonding hilarious—classic Salem pettiness at its finest. Others? They’re calling Belle a spoiled brat who made her father’s memorial all about herself.

But Wait—There’s Another Side

Before we completely write off Belle, let’s acknowledge something important. TVInsider praised Martha Madison’s eulogy performance, noting Belle’s emotional depth during the service. So she DID contribute something meaningful to the funeral. It wasn’t ALL about the Sami drama.

Maybe—and hear me out here—grief makes people act in unexpected ways? The funeral brought up decades of family dysfunction. When you mix mourning with unresolved sister issues, well… things get messy.

What This Means for Salem’s Future

If Belle and Carrie’s funeral behavior tells us anything, it’s that this family feud is FAR from over. With Sami’s eventual return teased by Soaps.com, we could be looking at an explosive sister showdown. Will Belle finally confront Sami about their toxic past? Can these sisters EVER find peace?

Given this show’s history, I’m betting on more drama, more confrontations, and definitely more inappropriate timing for family feuds. Because that’s just how the Brady-Black clan rolls.

The real question is: Was Belle justified in venting about Sami at the funeral, or did she cross a line? The debate rages on, and something tells me this is just the beginning of another epic Salem sister war.
