  • Camila Banus appeared to have called out her former Days of Our Lives castmates on social media

  • Banus said that she and producers were unable to come to amicable terms for the actress' new contract, spurring her to leave the show

  • The star's new post comes months after another Days of Our Lives star, Arianne Zucker, sued the soap’s production company Corday Productions and co-executive producers Ken Corday and Albert Alarr for alleged discrimination, harassment and retaliation

A year after she announced her exit from Days of Our Lives, Camila Banus appeared to call out her former castmates on social media.

In a May 15 Instagram Stories post, the 33-year-old actress — who played Gabi Hernandez on the iconic soap for 13 years — shared a pointed message criticizing “behavior” she experienced at her “previous place of employment,” according to Soaps.com.

“I will never understand all the people at my previous place of employment that are friends with snakes,” the Emmy-nominated actress wrote. “Just know this. I remember all, I will continue to remember how those snakes treated me and how others allowed and perpetuated their behavior.”

“I remember times where everyone just stayed quiet, knowing what was happening was wrong,” she added. “Men and women.”

According to the outlet, Banus also accompanied the call-out post with both a teapot and cup of tea emoji, seemingly indicating she has a lot more to share about the drama behind the scenes of the popular soap.

Banus first announced her departure in an interview with TheWrap published in May 2023, telling the outlet that the show's "changes" were a sign for her to move on from the long-running Peacock soap, which previously aired on NBC from 1965 to 2022.

"There's definitely been a lot of changes at Days, the last couple of years, one being moving to Peacock," said Banus, whose last shoot day was April 28, 2023.

"Although it's been wonderful and we've had a super great reception, for me, I felt like that was kind of like the initial start for changes happening in general," she continued. "And I kind of just saw that as a sign for me to start the next chapter in my life."

Banus also told the outlet that she was “open to renegotiating a certain type of shooting schedule” that allotted her more time off — “but they didn't go for it."

“At first, it was just easy to say, 'Well, if you can't meet these demands, then I can't,' and move on with a new contract,” she said. “But then, you know, I talked to producers and they had a call with me and they were like, 'Well, what can we do?' And I honestly, I need to slow down. And part of that is, you know, you guys accepting this shooting schedule for me, and you won't.”

“So, you know, I have to respectfully bow out and say thank you, and that's all I can do,” she added.

Banus’s new post targeting “behavior” at her “previous place of employment” also comes months after another Days of Our Lives star, Arianne Zucker, sued the soap’s production company Corday Productions and co-executive producers Ken Corday and Albert Alarr for alleged discrimination, harassment and retaliation.

In the new suit, the longtime soap opera star, 49, alleged that Alarr subjected her to "sexually harassing comments and nonconsensual physical touching of a sexual nature." Per the complaint, Zucker claimed that Alarr would routinely pull her tight to his chest while making sexual moans and "forcefully" touch her during dry blocking of scenes without her consent.

Among other claims, the complaint also alleged that the exec enjoyed filming aggressive sex scenes and threesomes. And, while directing Zucker in an intimate scene on DOOL, she claimed that he once said, “Believe me, I’d love to switch positions with you."

In a statement to PEOPLE, Alarr's attorney denied Zucker's claims and said the television producer plans to fight her allegations.

“As Albert said when Ms. Zucker first leveled these outrageous claims through the press last year, her baseless allegations were examined in a detailed and entirely independent investigation that lasted for two months. Dozens of individuals cooperated and every claim was thoroughly looked into. At the end of that process, the decision was made that Albert should continue in his role as Co-Executive Producer of Days of Our Lives," Alarr's attorney said, in part.

"Enough is enough," their statement continued. "Every day for decades, Albert worked with hundreds of people who can - and will - testify about the falsity of Ms. Zucker’s mischaracterizations of him. We relish having a chance to share the truth and putting an end to her offensive claims once and for all.”
