If you thought The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 couldn't get any messier, Episode 7 just exploded the drama, and much of the heat is aimed squarely at Belly.
While Conrad finally learns about Jeremiah's cheating, fans aren't rallying around our heroine. Instead, a growing wave of viewers is calling out Belly, insisting she doesn't deserve Conrad at all.
The fan backlash has set social media and Reddit on fire, sparking intense debates around #TeamConrad, #TeamJeremiah, and now #DumpBelly.
Here's why so many viewers are fed up, broken down into the four main reasons dominating the conversation.
1. Belly's Indecisiveness Is Driving Fans Crazy
From the very first season, Belly has been flip-flopping between Conrad and Jeremiah, turning the love triangle into what one Reddit fan called 'an endless merry-go-round.' Thousands of upvotes back up the frustration that Conrad, portrayed as deeply loyal despite his flaws, deserves someone who knows exactly what she wants. Instead, fans feel Belly keeps everyone stuck in limbo.

2. She Overlooks Conrad's Struggles — And Fans Notice
Conrad's silent battles with family chaos, grief, and school pressure have been a central theme, but many fans say Belly just doesn't get it. On X (formerly Twitter), one follower summed it up: 'Conrad has layers, but Belly never peels them back — she just judges him.' Fans argue this lack of emotional depth makes her a poor match for someone as complex as Conrad.
3. The Cheating Fallout Is Awkward, And Fans Are Not Here For It
Jeremiah's cheating revealed in Episode 7 shocked everyone, but what's left fans divided is Belly's reaction. Instead of drawing a hard line, she's silent and hesitant, fueling a pattern critics say shows she tolerates behavior that should be a clear dealbreaker. A viral TikTok nails it: 'If Conrad ever did what Jeremiah did, Belly would've left in a heartbeat. But with Jeremiah, she just... looks away.'
4. Fans Believe Conrad Deserves So Much Better
The strongest voice in the conversation is the belief that Conrad deserves someone who truly sees him. Social media is flooded with sentiments like 'Team Conrad forever, but not with Belly' and 'He deserves an epic love story — and Belly isn't it.' The consensus? Belly's indecision and immaturity drag down Conrad's growth.

What's Next? The Season 3 Finale Could Change Everything
With only four episodes left, the stakes couldn't be higher. Jeremiah's betrayal has reignited the age-old #TeamConrad vs #TeamJeremiah debate, but this time, Belly sits squarely in the firing line. Will she fight for Conrad? Choose Jeremiah despite everything? Or finally break free of both?
The fandom is buzzing with speculation, and one fan perfectly summed it up: 'Conrad deserves an epic love story. And Belly isn't it.'
