[music]
Welcome to Tyler Perry's Sistas: 100th Episode Special.

We're startin' off, kickin' it off with
KJ Smith, AKA Andi,
who loves to mix a little business with pleasure.
Also joinin' us, Mignon, AKA Danni,
AKA Megan Thee Stallion.
Ooh!
Of course, listen, we have to come through and do it right

Just love to you Ebony, so much. Ebony Obsidian,
AKA, "Who Is Yo Baby Daddy?"
Just gonna ask you flat out, Karen.
Here as well, joinin' us, Novi Brown.
Miss Sabrina, the innocent jailbird, you are.
And followin' up last but certainly not least...
Listen y'all, she's here. Crystal Renee Hayslett,
AKA Fatima!
[Mignon] Fatima!
I heard she got 99 problems, but a man ain't 1.
You knew it! Listen.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, ladies.
Cheers, once again.
-[All] Cheers! -To all of you.
This is absolutely fabulous.
We got some desserts, we got some things...
Cheers, cheers, cheers.
And...
Let's tale a look back at some of the action
that got us here.
I'm a cool dude, I work hard. I'd really like to take you out.
I've never had a woman like you before.
And you never will again.
What's gotten into you?
Have anything to do with them red panties?
[Sabrina] I got so turned off when I saw them.
Damn, you fine, Gary!
We been waitin' to meet this mystery man
for six months!
Thank you for not tellin' the girls
that Gary was married.
First, I'd like to say I hate that we're here
to talk about divorce.
Where do we start?
Let's start with your husband's name.
Gary Marshall Waters.
You will not get it.
I'm sure you've got a story about some dude
who stipped you on the bill.
I'll call my wife, she'll bring my credit card.
Your wife?
I went to her this morning.
You went to see Karen?
I asked her to give us six months.
[Danni] Why do men make you feel special?
And then they just move on.
I am not seein' your husband!
[screaming]
How 'bout we meet in person?
Why is he calling you, anyway?
I can handle him.
I am so tired of you makin' us black men look bad.
Gary John Marshall Waters, you're under arrest.
Andi!
[Woman] Your mother-in-law claims she's gonna
send that psycho after my daughter.
[Zac] Karen!
I told you the truth.
If you don't believe me, just go.
Go!
[Sabrina] Calvin is a great guy.
I just want something a little bit more rugged.
What's that noise?
This program is gonna help you get right.
You got it.
[Zac] Never had a woman talk to me like that.
Encourage me, tell me I could make it.
I just don't want anyone...
Trying to fix me.
Danni...
-[Danni] What? -I'm not...
I'm not trying to fix you.
How the hell did you get in my house?!
I am not gonna take this anymore!
[shouting]
Just stop!
Let's get married.
Andi, we need to go in the back.
You got two bitches in my mother [bleep]...!
[Karen] Zac...
I'm pregnant.
The -- are you doin'?
We're goin' to your bank,
and you're gonna give me all the money
that's in that bitch.
Sabrina, do whatever he says.
And you gon' come open this safe, all right?
We can't do that!
I will blow his -- brains out.
You ain't seen nothin', yet.
Oh, yeah? Oh, you gon' set me up?
Get the... Hey!
Show you to -- with me.
This stock is gonna be worth a lotta money in 48 hours.
You may wanna talk to me, though...
About this insider trading?
And he comin' to me, talkin' about goin' to the feds.
Your buying me that penthouse apartment
is not gonna fix this.
-Pour Karen some, too. -[Danni] Yeah, Karen.
[Karen] I can't drink.
Why not?!
Because I'm pregnant.
I'm not gonna say a word...
If you have sex with me.
[Zac] Fatima!
This right here? He's off limits.
Do you understand?
[Officer] The bank is closed!
You are under arrest for
conspiracy to commit bank robbery.
I need a lawyer, I need to talk to somebody.
[shouting]
Have you seen Maurice?
They arrested him for that robbery that Que did.
And Que, the one who committed the robbery, is out?
Yo, what are you guys doin'?
I ain't goin' nowhere.
And I'm gonna ask her to marry me.
Unless you tell me not to.
Go.
Now.
Andi!
Oh my God!
Oh my God.
Now, who do y'all think has the most drama filled
stuff goin' on this season?
[ladies murmuring]
We gotta say it all at the same time!
-Okay. -Okay?
-On three? -[Novi] Yeah.
-You count it off. -[Novi] One, two, three.
[All] Karen!
Danni.
[Heather] It's been a rollercoaster
for each of your characters to say the least this season.
Any one of y'all can jump in with this question right here.
How has the friendship dynamic changed this season?
I will take the lead on that!
I think...
Okay, first of all,
I think the evolution of our friendship
has been very interesting to watch.
Because you would see bonds with two specific people,
and then two other people.
And now, in this season, you see the crosses...
-It's explores the difference. -And the one degree...
-Exactly. -Yeah.
And the building of bonds with one another.
And then Andi's character, in particular,
is being challenged because
there's a new person into her life...
Professionally, that's going into her personal.
And it's affecting her best,
well, one of her best friends'...
-[Ebony] Yes. -Personal life, as well,
which has posed a huge challenge for Andi.
That's what I was gonna say. So, Andi...
Who, who is Andi, like, secretly rooting for then?
I'm, okay, okay, yes.
Anybody black?
Good answer, good answer! Good answer.
No, I'm gonna answer this!
Because I think Andi, she actually...
She knows Fatima's gonna be all right.
And she doesn't know if Karen is gonna be all right.
Karen is pregnant,
Karen has been, you know, watching the person she loves
fall in love with another person...
She's goin' through all these changes,
and Fatima, who is strong...
And... And, and she is not,
Fatima's not necessarily sharing what she's going through
with her partner with Andi,
so she doesn't know she's going through these things, as well.
So, on the surface, Andi is rooting for, for Karen,
because she feels like Karen...
That friendship has been so long,
she doesn't know... It's codependent.
So, she doesn't know if Karen will make it without her.
Fatima constantly says...
And, and this is only 'cause
Andi only sees this version of Fatima,
she doesn't see the real vulnerable version like that.
Where Fatima's like, "I'mma be all right."
I got my, you know, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
But really...
If Andi really knew what Fatima was goin' through,
she would be rooting for both of them
and just building that friendship with both of 'em.
But on the show, Andi is like, "She needs me!
You don't really need me.
You... We are just great friends.
But you don't need me."
-[Heather] Right. -[KJ] You know what I...
-[Heather] Right, right. -[KJ] So, that's...
-That was so eloquent. -Yeah.
Thank you.
Novi, did you wanna jump in about friendship?
Yeah, I feel, I feel like this season is about
a lotta crisis situations,
and crisis shows character,
and then it shows how the person gonna show up in your life.
So, especially for Sabrina.
You know, she's in a situation you know she should not be in
-at all. -[Heather] Right.
And what's going to happen with that?
How are the women going to help her?
[KJ] Respond, yeah.
And respond to the crisis that she's in.
Because a lot of the times, we're all in crisis
in our own separate ways, but...
This is like, "Nah, you're 'bout to go to jail"
type crisis.
Facts.
This is completely different
than a man, and all that other stuff.
This is like life...
-Real life crisis. -Real life things.
-You crisis. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that, I think, is gonna be extremely interesting to watch
throughout the season.
[Ebony] For sure, absolutely.
And how long it takes your friends to notice
-when you're in crisis. -[All] Yes!
Because I think that that's somethin'
that we don't really talk about.
It's like, of course if your friend
tells you that there's something's wrong,
you know you can...
We like to say, "Oh, but I didn't know.
I didn't, you didn't tell me. You didn't share it."
But it's like, how long does it take you to check on me?
-To realize. -Yeah.
-How long... -And ask the right question.
Ask the right questions.
And know when I'm lying.
[chuckling]
Because we do that! We lie about when we're fine!
We lie about when we're fine, and that's the problem.
A lot, not just women, but all of us.
We... We all wanna be strong.
And... It's a façade!
Tear it down! Throw it out, it's trash!
It's ruining us!
Because I personally think the relationship
that you have with Pam is hilarious.
-It's so funny. -[Novi] I love Pam, too.
[All] Me, too.
And she is just as funny in real life.
-Am I wrong? -[All] Yes, she is!
She is hilarious.
But she is...
She is, and she is...
And she's ride or die.
-[All] She is. -She's ride or die.
Through all... She knows everything.
-Pam knows everybody's business. -[Novi] Everything!
We don't know how, but she knows.
[Heather] A gift that comes from workin' in the hair salon.
I guess so! You know, it's probably that.
But no matter what Karen is goin' through,
or what she's...
Doesn't even know she's going through,
'cause you don't know the business yet,
-but Pam does. -[Crystal] Yeah.
And it's like, she's... Walks with her.
Just, she really, really cares about her.
I remember...
Oh shit, did this happen, yet?
[All] Uh-oh!
[Ebony] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
-It happened. -[Heather] Okay.
So, I remember when Pam found out that Karen was pregnant.
And how she responded to that, and...
Automatically, she was like, "What can I do?
And how can I be there? And...
Where's Andi? And, what's, where's Zac?"
And it was this thing of like, "What do you need from me?"
Not, "What do you want," not "What do you...
You know, asking for, telling me you don't need it."
It's, "What, do you know what you need?
Do you even know what you need to be okay?"
And most of us don't. Not all the time, anyways.
So, with that bein' said, do you think Pam can actually
join the Sistas circle?
Honestly, why not?! Honestly, why not?!
-100%. -She is in the circle.
[All] She is!
-That's how I feel. -[KJ] She really is.
Because, she's like, she's like Fatima and Andi,
-it's Karen and Pam. -Yup, exactly.
[Ebony] She knocks off everything.
She's supportive, sometimes she's annoying...
Sometimes you don't want her help,
but you also got her back, you not gonna fire her,
'cause you not gon' leave her on the street.
-It's like... -She's loyal to Karen.
-She's loyal. -Yes, yeah.
Like, all the bases are covered
of all the types of dynamics you would have in a friendship.
Okay, decision made, Mr. Perry.
[All] Yes!
Let's go, Pam! You our friend, now.
-Team Pam, come on! -Yeah Team Pam, let's go.
Oh, Fatima, I...
Again, each one of y'all, I crack up for different reasons
and root for different reasons.
But, like, your character is always with the shits,
and like, that's kinda like how I am in real life.
-So, it's like... -[Ebony] It's that east coast.
It's that east coast. I'm like, "Let's go!
What happened?!
Like, what we doin' now? I'm not waitin'."
So like, that's me in real life.
So, this is like, so...
And I'm on good behavior, y'all.
-So proud of you. -So, yes I am.
Thank you, thank you, KJ.
So, what's the difference, like, between Crystal and Fatima?
You know...?
Crystal has literally been...
Really, in no fights.
I've never been in, like, a altercation with anyone
in my life.
[Heather] Wow.
Fatima is very much the opposite.
She's draggin' people out of hot tubs, she's...
Pullin' guns out of the law office, like,
she's always ready.
Yeah, I feel like I'm more of a resolution part,
type of person.
Crystal is, Fatima... And I am, like...
Now like, if somebody comes at my family, my friends,
people I care about, it's a whole 'nother side.
-[Heather] Got you. -But like, I'm not just
automatically like, "Oh, where we goin'?"
Like, Fatima, it don't matter who it is.
"What we doin'?" Like, ready.
I'm not like that. I'm more calculated, and...
-[Ebony] Yeah. -I'm about peace.
You know? That's how Crystal is.
-But yeah. -[Heather] Beautiful.
And I feel like there's a side with Fatima with--
Fatima is always on.
It's just like, girl.
You don't even know them.
When she blanks out.
-Oh, man. -Once she just freezes,
I'm like...
Like watchin' the TV... That's it!
Stuff, I'll be like...
[Heather] That look right there.
-[Ebony] The eye. -[Heather] No.
It was the scene, for me,
with you bangin' the, the girl's arm in...
-Oh my gosh, Deja. -Deja, I hate Deja.
Oh gosh, Deja, I wanna fight you, like...
I do, I hate Deja.
-Yes. -[Heather] She's like...
Yeah, we all character talkin' right now, right?
I was like, "Keep bangin' that arm, one more time!
What you doin', Fatima? Break it off!"
I was home, screamin'. So for sure, good job.
-Good job. -[Novi] Break that arm.
-[Heather] Yeah, break that arm. -[KJ] She said great job.
[All] Good job.
Listen, we got more comin' up next
with the lovely ladies of Sistas.
Give it up!
100th episode special!
More comin' up next.
Yes!
[music]
Now, y'all know these sistas
have been in some relationships, baby!
And I have admit, they will ride through the trenches
with their boos.
Some of the boos, we were booin'.
Some of the boos, we were lovin',
and some of the boos, we were like, "Let's go, baby."
Let's take a look down memory lane.
[Gary] You are an incredible woman.
Gosh, if I could do my life all over again,
once I met you, that would be it.
I'm sick of bein' a fool for love!
Get out of my car!
You gonna tell me?!
When is it gonna happen
that I meet a man and it's drama free?
I hope you enjoyed the view.
Of me [bleep] another man.
You know I love you, Karen.
What is love to you, Zac?
[Aaron] Marriage, it ain't all it's cracked up to be.
Trust me.
Zac! Get out, go!
I've always loved you. You know that.
[Aaron] You need to figure out where your heart is
in all of this.
-I'm pregnant. -Who's the daddy?
I put a timeline together.
I really think you should look at the calendar.
I'm a cool dude, I work hard. I'd really like to take you out.
Oh my God, Lance?!
[Sabrina] He kissed a man.
You are such a judgmental little whore.
Judgin' that man and not wantin' to go out with him
'cause you thought he was gay.
[Sabrina] Calvin is a great guy.
I just want something a little bit more rugged.
We are going to have to let you go.
That dude came at me!
I'm sorry.
I missed you so much.
Not as much as I missed you.
[Danni] I just met this country cowboy.
Woo!
I have to work really hard to love myself.
Why do men make you feel special?
And then they just move on.
Thought I'd take it home. Here.
I love you, Danni.
Still runnin'.
[Fatima] I haven't felt this way in a long time.
I go left, you go right, it's leavin' me reelin'.
[Zac] I really want this to work.
You just keep doin' what you're doin'.
What hot lunch dick does that? Girl, you...
[All] Hey!
Did you say Zac?
[all murmuring]
Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?!
[Heather] Don't it look worse when you see it?
Like...
Oh no, very proud.
I'm always like this.
You gotta [unintelligible] and try things out, you know?
Sexually liberating this show has been, intimate...
And prioritizes relationships, and...
-[Heather] Listen. -It's great.
-We've grown. -It's great.
It's great!
People always wanna make us the hoes.
Danni and Andi are the hoes.
But this is just what they've seen right now.
-[KJ] We hoe down, we hoe down! -[Mignon] But you know what?
-We hoe down, we hoe down! -One, two, three, four!
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
And that is their body count, ladies and gentlemen!
And it is ten!
So, listen, though...
But Danni, could you see...
Well, "Danni", could you see you and Preston, like,
livin' off the grid, in some country-ass town,
with the cows, and the grass, and the stars?
Under the stars at night.
[Ebony] Fresh milk every day.
I have imagined their ending.
And I have imagined like,
them like, maybe 45 minutes away from Atlanta...
So she can be close enough to her girls...
[ladies murmuring]
You know, you know, baby on her hip.
[Heather] Mm-hm.
-[All] Aww! -Nice little...
I have seen that, but you know...
At the same time,
sometimes people can't have nice things.
You know what I mean?
Like, those two can't have nice things!
So, I have imagined that.
And I think I've imagined that as Danni imagining it, you know?
-Yeah. -[Heather] Wow.
Well then, Crystal, do you think, like...
Fatima...
Overbearing is a interesting word.
But do you think it's overbearing,
or she just like, she's one of those chicks
that just love hard?
I would say love hard.
Crystal's the same way.
I'm like, I actually did a song called "I Love Hard".
-[Heather] Really? -Yeah.
'Cause I really do love hard.
Your character...
Has been able to like, accept a lot...
From... That's interesting...
Have you met women or have been in conversations with women,
sisters even, where they're able to
accept their partner's lifestyle?
-You know, just... -That's interesting.
No, no strings attached?
And how have you personally responded to it?
If you know someone like that.
No to the first question, just because...
I kinda mind my business when it comes to my girlfriends
and their relationships until they tell me.
[Heather] Mm-hm.
So, no. But...
The Calvin and Sabrina dynamic is just a conversation about
masculinity and femininity.
[All] Mm-hm.
And at the end of the day, what is it?
How does it show up, especially in the black community?
-[All] Yes. -What that looks...
Because I don't understand how you can ask for a vulnerable man
but then not expect him to tap into his feminine energy.
And femininity is just being receptive.
And being able to hold space.
Where masculinity is building and being extroverted.
So, it's just...
It's that conversation.
And I do have friends of all walks of life.
-[Heather] Absolutely. -You know what I'm saying?
And though them, I've learned
that it really is just a spiritual thing
at the end of the day.
[KJ] Yes!
[Heather] Beautiful. Beautiful, thank you.
I'mma jump into you, 'cause sometimes we all...
Turn to me...
'Cause I think your character is just, like, off the chain!
Like, it's just like,
she don't know who the baby daddy is,
she's sittin' around actin' like she like this one,
but really, I still think you got your eye on Fatima's man...
I'm just thinkin' all kinda things.
-But... -[Ladies] Yeah.
If Zac was available...
Would that be the choice?
[Crystal] Good question.
-Great question. -Yeah.
I think it's probably easy to think that Karen
wants Zac back because he's in a relationship.
[Heather] Mm-hm.
You know, like that thing of like, oh, you watch somebody...
[All] Mm-hm.
Take a short amount of time to just move on,
and in a way that's so vastly different
than what your experiences with them.
Yeah.
[Ebony] I think it's easy to say...
"Oh, she's looking at him and who he is now,
and what he has now,
-and what he can do now." -[Heather] Mm-hm.
And just the way he communicates,
like the way you were saying earlier.
And just the man that he is or seems to be now.
Mm-hm. Yes.
I think it doesn't make sense to Karen that, like...
You know, that...
That couldn't have been possible with her.
And so I think it's almost this thing of,
sometimes women, when, when we see
someone change so dramatically...
And people can change dramatically
in a short period of time.
But when we see it, it's like...
"It was possible all along."
[ladies murmuring]
"So, you can't tell me it wasn't possible."
And now it's this thing of like,
I don't think it matters whether or not he's single
or, or in a relationship.
I don't think it's... Absolutely.
There is absolutely jealousy involved,
I don't think there's a way that it couldn't be.
-[Heather] Mm-hm. -Especially now
that she is pregnant.
-[Heather] Yeah. -With a child.
-She's pregnant with a child! -That was good.
I think the biggest thing I've learned from Karen is...
It don't matter when people tell you to move on.
You're gonna move on when you are ready to move on.
-Right. -Absolutely.
[Ebony] And you have to do the work yourself.
It doesn't matter how many people are saying it,
your girlfriends, it just doesn't matter.
[All] Yeah.
It matters, it's important, but it doesn't matter
until it happens.
-[Ladies] Yeah. -[Heather] Good point.
Speakin' of movin' on...
-KJ. -Yeah!
-[Heather] Andi. -Yes.
Gary, that relationship...
I'm just like, "Yo, his -- must be to the floor!"
-What's that one more time? -It is on the show...
-One more time? -[Ebony] --!
-His --? -[Heather] Yeah, --.
She's gonna use that in the show.
Yeah, his -- must be to the floor, like!
-On the show it is, yes. -[Heather] Okay.
It is, that...
-Yes, it is! -[Heather] I was like,
"This has to be the most toxic, sexy relationship
in the world."
Like, do you think it'll ever just be done?
I think that Andi has some growin' up to do.
And I think that she makes choices very superficially.
And that's the evolution of her character,
she is, we see her in season one.
There are very few times she even...
You know, asks her friends how they're doing.
She's self-centered, and she's selfish.
And she has attracted a partner that is just like that.
So her and Gary have this toxic mirrored relationship
where they're narcissists, just alike.
Except she's the victim in her narcissism,
and he's the hero in his narcissism.
And so, I think once Andi starts to dig deeper,
and we're, we start...
We're watching her now.
She's growing, and I have full faith and confidence
that she's gonna grow out of this relationship with him.
Because she's already starting to do the work.
He's not doin' any of the work.
He had "a fake therapist".
Ooh!
-[Mignon] That's so true! -[Crystal] Wow.
And on that note, we got a surprise.
I got a surprise for y'all.
[Novi] We like a surprise!
Let's go up!
-We goin' up! -[Ebony] What's up, what's up?
What's, what's up?
[ladies cheering]
[KJ] Are y'all serious?
[Mignon] Yes, yes, yes!
I love that. No, I love that!
[Ebony] Okay!
[Heather] Oh, wow. Beautiful, hello.
[Mignon] I'm getting makeup on you!
[Novi] These are great!
[Heather] I'm a big fan of all of y'all, congratulations.
Congratulations.
We lookin' like a whole Christmas card.
-Ho, ho, ho. -[Heather] Ho, ho, ho!
-[Brian] Ho, ho, ho! -[Heather] Ho, ho, ho!
[Heather] Listen man, congratulations y'all, for real,
on makin' this 100th episode.
This is really, really amazing. Congratulations.
-[All] Thank you. -[Heather] Congratulations.
-Thank you so much. -Y'all thought...
Did y'all think at 100 when you first signed up for this?
Tell the truth.
-Yes. -[Heather] Mm-hm.
-Yes. -[Heather] There you go.
-You had to go into it... -Did you?
[Crystal] Seein' it.
[Chido] Knew we had somethin' special.
[Heather] Wow, congratulations, man, seriously.
[Kevin] Thank you.
100 episodes!
-[Brian] Yes. -[Heather] Like, for real.
Did y'all think y'all were gonna make it?
-[Devale] Yes. -[Trinity] Absolutely.
Speak on that, D. Speak on that.
It's just, I look at, first of all,
Tyler Perry's track record with shows.
-[Heather] Yes. -When we first met each other...
We asked, all of us, for a room for us to study.
[Heather] Mm-hm.
And we went to the theatre and we studied for four days...
-Before we ever filmed. -[Kevin] Yeah.
And it was in that moment I realized that I was with
a group of people who all were committed
to making something great.
And I was just like, "This is gonna go."
-It's gonna ride. -[Heather] That is so beautiful.
And that's good to know, just as a fan of the show.
It's so good to know that this is happenin' behind the scenes.
-Mm-hm. -[Heather] You know what I mean?
That the bond is real.
And I can definitely say that, the bond is real here.
I've been watchin' them, and it's...
Y'all are amazin'.
-Thank you, Heather. -Y'all are amazin'.
For real, I love it, I love it, I love it.
Now, D, I'm gettin' in your business really quick.
Okay...
[Heather] I gotta jump into Zac.
So, we were out here talkin' about how, like,
Fatima and Karen are so different.
Everybody loves this... Well...
Say "new Zac", if you will.
-[Devale] Yes. -Weddin' bells.
Are they comin' soon?
Is Karen invited?
I told her!
This is, this is the thing, right?
I think Zac would definitely invite Karen.
One thing I, I do watch on Twitter a lot,
is people have this disdain for Karen.
And I think it's because
it's where the, the story picked up, right?
For example, we got a chance to see Zac and Karen go through
this volatile relationship, and then him meet someone new.
And everyone fell in love with the newness and the freshness.
But what I honestly believe is if,
if you saw what Karen and Zac had developed
before all of that,
people would be in love with that.
And I think that people just want a love story.
-Yeah! -[Devale] So, I don't think
it's to put one woman down over the other,
and say Karen is bad and Fatima is good.
I think it's the opportunity to get a chance
to see the love story happen.
-I love that you said that. -[Devale] Yeah.
Because one of my favorite scenes ever in the movie
Waiting to Exhale,
there's a scene where Wesley Snipes
and Angela Bassett's characters are just layin' in bed.
-Yes. -And it's such an intimate...
-[Devale] Yes. -Powerful scene
-with their clothes on. -[Devale] Yes.
And when your character was layin' up against Karen
in the kitchen, with the yellow on,
-and just holdin' her... -Yes.
and I was like, "Oh my gosh."
-[Devale] Yeah. -Like, it brought me that same,
"This is the love you have to fight for."
Like, this is the beauty of it,
and you never know where we'll pick up,
-where we'll leave off... -Right.
So, I agree with your statement about, you know,
-the charac... -[Devale] Absolutely.
Y'all are so good at
-what y'all do... -But, but, but!
Rootin' people, and fightin' people,
and stuff like that.
To be clear, go off.
They be... They be goin' off on Twitter.
Oh, yeah.
That's also a credit to the work...
[Heather] The work that y'all are doin', like...
Because she's a sweetheart.
So for people to have such, like...
Vitriol towards her character,
she really has to really go there with her character.
Y'all gotta stop readin' Twitter!
No, we can't stop readin' Twitter!
We live tweet!
I would love to hear a little bit from each of you.
You know, about anything you wanna chime in.
Your contribution to this, how do you feel?
The 100th episode, baby!
Go off!
The hundredth episode...
It's, it's especially near and dear to me.
My mother passed last year,
and on the hundredth episode will be her birthday.
[All] Wow.
-That's the stuff. -[Anthony] Know what I'm sayin'?
Power to your mom. Sir, can you say her name?
Jolie. Jolie Dalton.
-[Heather] Jolie. -Jolie Dalton.
[Anthony] My soul, you know.
It's been... I'm, I'm kinda...
A little different from D.
For when we first got together.
I've had shows that haven't gone,
and so I came in kinda like,
"We gon' do our work.
And we gon' put our best foot forward, but...
Let's not make any big purchases right now."
You know what I'm sayin'? Let's wait until season three.
But I will say...
The energy of the cast?
Allowed me to get to where D already was.
In sayin', "This is a hit."
It's youthful energy,
'cause we're his youngest cast at something new.
It's different from any other show that he has.
And I was, it's, it's almost like it was infectious.
I'm like, "We got a hit?
She says we got a hit, she says we got a hit,
oh, we got a hit."
-And so, yeah. -Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing, and honor to your mom.
-Thank you so much. -Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Jump in there, Mr. Toxic Guy.
Scary Gary!
All right, that's, that's me.
No, I knew we had something special,
but I think when you...
For all of us, we had such an incredible journey
to get to this point.
And when you book a TV show, you're just hoping...
You're excited to work.
You're excited for the opportunity.
You're, you're getting the chance to actually
live out your dream.
And, you know, when you get that opportunity
and you come, and then you just hope,
"Okay, I hope I get along with everyone."
And I hope that people like the show,
and then I hope that it goes.
You're just hopin' and hopin' and hopin',
and then you're actually gettin' a chance to...
Come to the hundredth episode, and you're just like...
"Oh my God. Like, we're really here."
And the audience reaction, and the love we get, you know...
Good or bad...
'Cause they be...
They be tryin' to hurt feelings.
But I'm a strong man!
And I'll be all right!
I'm doin' aight. But it's, it's beautiful.
And I think, more importantly,
people fall in love with the characters,
but they're also falling in love with us as people.
[Heather] What does it mean to you?
It literally means everything for me.
For me, I made a conscientious effort
to focus on the journey rather than the destination.
Because when you think about where you're gonna end up,
you kinda miss out on the path towards getting there.
-Mm-hm. -And for me...
When I do that, and I take a step back
and I look at, "Okay...
How hard is it to actually get onto a show?"
Then, "How hard is it for that show to be number one?"
[all murmuring]
How hard is it for that show to stay number one?
Mm-hm.
What is the likelihood that...
When you work with these people...
They're not castmates or cast members,
they become family.
Because I love each and every person in here.
From the bottom of my heart.
They know there's nothing I wouldn't do
for each and every one of them.
And what I realized is that
we turn the impossible into somehow.
-Mm-hm, mm-hm. -[KJ] Yes.
And that, for me, is everything.
-[All] Yeah. -[Heather] God bless you.
I wanna hug you too, come here, man.
[Heather] Go over there. Now, while they huggin'...
That's it, we gon' do this while they huggin'.
The waterworks are in the backdrop, right?
So... Congratulations.
Thank you.
-Yeah, it's... -[Heather] What, what...?
I was like, "Is he crying?"
-[Heather] No... -It's just a blessin'.
-[Heather] This is big. -Yeah.
-This is big. -[KJ] It's a big deal.
It's huge, it's like, the, the journey of...
Especially with us, like,
I think about the idea of it being the hundredth episode,
and really just think about the journey and
the adventure this has been...
And the blessing, because we genuinely, like,
love each other.
We genuinely get along.
We, we have... Everyone's funny.
And everyone loves to have in depth conversations,
and we think about the world, and we...
We share our personal lives with each other,
and, and offer perspective to each other.
And every time we come together, it's like we click up.
And if there's any kind of, like, slight conflict,
it gets addressed and we move together.
And so, I think about the idea of the hundredth episode,
so to me, one of the key words in my life
has been the nature of sustainability.
Right? Sustainability.
For somethin' to sustain means that it's impactful,
and that it's... That there's something there,
a resonance there that lasts.
[Heather] 100th episode.
What does it mean to you?
-Personally? -You know?
I am so grateful for even one episode.
You know, I hate to sound...
Pessimistic, but for me when I started this,
I'm like...
"I just wanna get to the point
where I can film the stuff that I'm supposed to,
so I can get my money."
That's what I was thinkin'!
And so to think about 100 episodes...
Because I didn't have any money!
And we talk about bein' hungry, for real.
And I was hungry, literally.
I was tryin' to figure out how to get gas
to get to those four days of rehearsals.
[All] Mm!
[Brian] And to be here with people that I love,
and we don't just say that.
Like, we love each other.
And when we don't, we get back to love.
-Right? -[All] Right.
That's the thing, we, we've had an opportunity
provided by Mr. Perry, which, thank God...
For Mr. Perry.
Come on. Come on.
To, to, to be on a network television show...
[All] Mm-hm.
[Brian] And to be able to celebrate 100 episodes
is bananas to me.
You're incredible. Thank y'all so much.
We got more from Tyler Perry's Sistas'
100th episode celebration comin' up next.
[All] Woo!
[Ebony] You know, my cheeks hurt!
[music]
Welcome back to Tyler Perry's Sistas'
100th episode celebration,
we are here with the sistas themselves.
Ladies, I love it!
We gotta start breakin' down some of these episodes.
I mean, I don't even know where to start
in terms of my favorite, but Mignon.
I wanted to ask you.
Like, have you ever told a man in real life
he wasn't, like, packin'?
-Oh! -Ooh...
I'm tryin' to decide how I wanna answer this.
-Take your time. -Take your time.
Hopefully this answer does... is probably gonna be revelatory,
but I think it's unkind.
It's unkind.
However, he became belligerent.
And I think that's why Danni did it.
So, she was just like, listen...
Because she was just tryin' to save him.
-[Heather] Yeah, she was. -But he just, you know...
And... It's unkind, though.
When they go low, we go high.
-[Heather] There you go. -Mm-hm.
[Heather] All right, I love it.
Jumpin' over to you, Crystal. Because Zac...
And this whole baby daddy situation...
If it is his child, what type of baby...
Mama, baby... Step-mama...
You think Fatima will be?
Fatima loves the kids. I feel like...
No, I mean, I would be a loving, caring...
I would take good care of the child, for sure.
[Heather] That's good to know, that's dope to know.
Yeah, way to step up, Fatima!
It's a big responsibility for women or men
stepping into the situation.
Let's be real, because not everyone can or wants to.
-Absolutely. -[Heather] Absolutely.
And you shouldn't fake it. If you don't want to...
-[Crystal] Exactly. -Don't do it.
It's not the relationship for you.
-Right. -[Heather] Man, listen Novi,
if you had to guess
what Sabrina's doin' in jail right now...
What would it be?
Is she cookin', is she cleanin'?
Meditatin'?!
"Please God, please get me out of here.
Please, Andi, help me..." She's prayin'.
She's meditatin', like, fastin'.
-Right. -Know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, I think she's probably just thinking about
her entire life,
and what she's gonna have to do better.
[Heather] Ooh, jail fast. New segment alert, for real.
[unintelligible]
Feels good.
[Heather] A jail fast is different.
I like it, though.
Ebony, last but certainly not least,
do you think there's hope?
People can't really be in relationships
when they are not...
-Actively healing. -Ready.
When they are not actively healing or healed, or...
Or, you know, we say over the past relationship, or...
People take their own time, and I don't...
I don't know.
I know some people get into relationships, you know,
the right relationships quickly after maybe a breakup,
and they can evolve, and that ends up working.
But I do think that there is a lot of tension
between the characters.
Because I don't know many people who have...
You know, I'll say Aaron,
just because of the type of person that he is.
Who is stepping up, trying to step up
at every single obstacle that comes up.
Which I know I've had my moments where
I'm readin' the script, like...
I don't know a man who would step up for this.
I don't know a man... But they exist, they do.
[Heather] Well, we know we love...
Jasmin is her name, who plays Deja in real life?
-Yes. -[Heather] I love Jasmin
in real life.
But that Deja, I wanna get.
KJ, I'mma let you wrap this up
by askin' you if you've ever had a Deja that you've had
to deal with in real life?
-In real life? -[Heather] Yeah.
Never.
Nev-ah!
-I love it. -And she said,
never gonna happen.
-It was the tone. -[Novi] Oh, yeah.
[Heather] Good, we got more of the Tyler Perry's Sistas'
100th episode special comin' up.
[music]
[Heather] All right, so it's time to peel back
the layers, y'all.
So the fans can get to know the sistas behind the sistas.
All right? Now so we gon' play a little game
it's called, "Keep It One Hunnit."
Y'all know I'm from the east coast,
my voice is heavy.
-Keep It One Hunnit. -Do it, do it, do it.
It's the only way to say it.
So, I'm gonna give y'all a scenario, all right?
And from the 100th episode,
and you guys just have to tell us what you would do
in the situation, all right?
-You ready? -As ourselves, right?
-[KJ] That sounds funny. -Yeah, yeah...
Not as our characters?
Well, we'll see how it plays out.
All right? Let's go.
So!
Aaron let Karen look through his phone like it was nothin'.
Keep it a hunnit...
Would you let your dude look through your phone?
-Absolutely. -Yeah.
-Without a doubt. -I got nothing to hide.
[KJ] Yes, absolutely.
-Oh, I love that. -[KJ] Nothin' to hide.
Can y'all imagine if five men was sittin' here?
[Novi] That would be different!
[Heather] All right...
-[Heather] All right. -If it's men, they'd be like,
[Heather] Yes!
"You don't trust me?"
Okay, this is the last one.
Karen is still tryin' to figure out
who her baby daddy is.
If you were pregnant and did not know who the baby daddy was,
would you tell all of the potential fathers?
Or would you do one DNA test at a time?
Oh...
-That's good. -One at a time.
-Yeah, probably one at a time. -Wait, what do you mean,
-one at a time? -Be discreet!
You mean like, find out and then tell them?
And then if it's not that person, move on.
[Mignon] Here, take a sip!
You know?
-Yeah. -[Ebony] Oh!
-But one at a time? -Yeah!
[Heather] One at a time, one at a time.
-I think, I think... -Ooh baby,
let me give you a scalp massage.
Probably just to save heartbreak.
Like, why cause unnecessary heartbreak?
I hope this situation never happens to any of us,
but you know, I hope, yeah.
I think one at a time.
[KJ] One at a time, for sure.
Y'all are good. That was so B, Jay-Z.
I love all of y'all.
I love all y'all, everybody here.
Just puttin' the test on the table for everybody.
Absolutely.
Thanks for hangin' out with us, you guys!
We got some more surprises and some more news
comin' from Sistas, comin' up next.
[music]
Welcome back to Tyler Perry's
Sistas 100th episode celebration.
I am here with the fabulous sistas,
man, I love them so much.
And got so much information!
We talked drama, we talked relationships,
we talked the good, the bad.
But we have not talked about one of my personal favorites,
the fashion.
Let's get into the looks, baby!
Man, all right.
This is for anybody who wanna grab this question.
-Okay. -Answer it.
If you had to choose a sista to be the fashion icon,
which one would it be?
[Novi] I don't think that's a fair question
-for one, because... -Andi...
-Andi's the richest. -Andi...
No, but Danni never has wardrobe that we see.
-She's at the airport a lot. -She's always at the airport!
[Heather] You make a good airport girl, though.
You do, though.
[indistinct chatter]
You look good in it, though!
[indistinct chatter]
Her airport look should be, like...
In the thing!
Like a hundred percent, it should be in a glass case.
Like with Dorothy's slippers...
[indistinct chatter]
[KJ] And it's uniform!
-Like... -[Heather] Yo, I love that.
I love that.
[Novi] I don't wanna not include Danni's character.
The other women, we can discuss that.
But you know, you don't get all, you know?
[KJ] Sure.
I wanted to say that we started strong, though.
Because there happened to be a certain someone
who was styling us.
[All] Yes!
And who changed my life with...
-Literally! -Tailoring.
[All] Yes!
[unintelligible]
No, Crystal was our designer...
Mm-hm.
For season one. And we were all obviously young,
and like, we didn't, we didn't have any money...
and I was like, Louis Vuittons,
and like, all these things that she put us in
that I had never experienced before,
-had never, and then... -[Heather] Wow.
"Well, we gotta get a tailor!"
And now our designer was our tailor.
-At the time. -That's right.
And he...
You know, he and Crystal made sure we looked...
-[Ebony] Snatched. -Incredible.
[All] Yes.
And changed our personal lives, as well.
Because we had not been exposed to...
-[Heather] All of it. -This type of hair...
And style, and detail,
and storytelling with your clothes.
And knowing more about our bodies.
And knowing what works for our body types.
And that's what I'm talkin' about.
It's so meaningful to me as a woman, who's like...
You know, 12, 14, 16...
-Has range in between those. -[Heather] Oh, I understand.
And for Crystal would be like, "Oh, no, no, no."
-[Ebony] I can dress you. -[Novi] I got you.
[Heather] So, guess what?
All the sistas are fashion icons.
There we go. I got it!
Listen ladies, just personally, thank you.
Y'all don't miss.
Y'all have brought it and brought it,
and y'all are gonna keep bringin' it.
Thank you for the laughs, the cries, the side-eyes,
the shade, all things Sistas.
I love it.
And on that note,
make sure you guys check out Sistas every Wednesday
at 9PM eastern, only on BET.
[All] Woo!
Yes, yes.
[music]
