Bill Bellamy Is “Devastated” After Missing His Father’s Funeral, Claims His Sister Planned The Service For The Same Day As His Father In Law’s

Actor Bill Bellamy recently lost both his father and father in law, and is now feuding with his sister.

Reportedly, Bill Bellamy, 57, told media outlets that he had to forgo his father’s funeral, held today (June 24th). The Cousin Skeeter star says the tragic reality is the result of his younger sister, Karen Bellamy, knowingly planning the service on the same date as his father in laws.

Reportedly, Bill’s father in law, Bernard Baker Jr., transitioned on May 18th of this year. A few weeks later on June 8th, his father – William Bellamy Senior, transitioned as well. The comedian says he was blindsided while grieving, after his sister revealed solo plans to bury their late father. Bill’s claims that while his FIL’s memorial was planned immediately after his death, his sister proceed with an “unauthorized” memorial held for their father on the same day.

According to the report, Bill stated on the matter:

“In the span of less than a month I lost both my father William Bellamy Senior and my father-in-law Bernard Baker Junior. These two wonderful men that have impacted my life and my family’s lives in ways that are beyond words.”

The Def Jam comedy performer went on to explain how he attempted to have the service stopped, but ultimately was denied. Reportedly, New Jersey official documents show that Bill tried to get a restraining order to get the date changed. However, sources say there’s no legalities surrounding the issue, stating it’s a family matter that must be reconciled out of court.

In his statement, Bill continued:

“My effort to stop an unauthorized memorial service for my father, which was planned without my knowledge, was not successful. I am devastated my family has to choose to miss one service for another, no one should ever have to be in this position. My father-in-law’s memorial service was confirmed back in May when he passed.”

All in all, the father of two says while he’s disappointed, he fully plans to celebrate his father’s life at another time, stating:
