Not only that, she realized that he only did that against people of color, as witnessed by the list of complaints and cases she found. Her boss Bradley entered her office as she was going through her files and Andi realized that it was the perfect moment to inform him about the case.While he initially seemed curious, his face and demeanor changed when he realized that the man Andi was going after was Brett Cruise. He immediately told her that Cruise was his golfing buddy, and despite her insistence that the doctor had been negligent against several women of colour, Bradley refused to accept the news.That enraged Andi and she told her boss that his friend was a racist and then showed him the pile of case files she had uncovered during her investigation. However, even that did not seem to move her boss as he simply brushed aside the accusation of racism, claiming that his friend had never shown to be that kind of person.He eventually told her that he wanted some concrete evidence against Cruise if she wanted to pursue a case against the doctor.Sabrina embraces her new single-life wholeheartedly with Maurice helping guide herTyler Perry’s Sistas season 9 episode 6, New Normal (Image via BET)After catching her now ex-boyfriend, Rich, cheating on her with Penelope, Sabrina ended the relationship and in Tyler Perry’s Sistas season 9 episode 6, she decided to embrace her newly single status.
