Despite spending over a decade on the show, Banus recently broke her silence, taking to social media to air grievances that have been festering long after her departure. But what exactly happened behind the scenes of the beloved soap opera?

From Family to Frenemies

For many years, Banus worked closely with her castmates, considering them more than just colleagues—she saw them as family. But it wasn’t long before she began to feel the sting of betrayal. In an emotional Instagram post, the Emmy-nominated actress revealed that some of the people she had trusted had turned their backs on her, opting to “remain friends with snakes.

The Betrayal Begins

According to Banus, the turning point came when certain co-stars stood by silently, even as she faced unfair treatment. “I remember all,” Banus wrote, clearly hinting at unresolved tensions.

The actress didn’t hold back as she expressed her disbelief over how easily people turned a blind eye to wrongdoing, adding that both “men and women” were complicit. These statements suggest a culture of silence and complicity that rocked Banus to her core, making her departure from Days of Our Lives all the more bitter​​​​.
