‘Tyler Perry’s Sistas’: Five Reasons Why Fatima Didn’t Stab Gary
The series dives into the mystery of who stabbed Gary, it’s clear Fatima isn’t the culprit. With a baby on the way, family to protect, and Madam DeVille in her corner, here’s why Fatima had too much to lose to get involved.
Season 8 of “Tyler Perry’s Sistas” kicked off with a twist—Gary isn’t dead. He’s clinging to life in critical condition, and the mystery of who stabbed him remains unsolved. With so many enemies, the suspect list is long. But one thing is almost certain: Fatima didn’t do it. Here are five solid reasons why she’s not the culprit.
1. Fatima’s the Star of “Zatima”
As the lead in her own spinoff, Zatima, it’s hard to imagine Fatima behind bars and pregnant. Sure, anything can happen in this universe (remember Sabrina’s prison stint?), but viewers tune into Zatima for relationship drama, not prison plotlines.
2. Family First Mentality
Fatima has too much to lose. She’s planning to marry Zac, raising his son Michael as her own, and now expecting a baby. Ending up in jail isn’t part of her plan—her priority is building a family, not jeopardizing it.
3. Madam DeVille Could Handle It
Fatima’s cousin, Madam DeVille, runs the underworld and has helped Fatima with tough situations in the past. If Fatima really wanted Gary gone, Madam could make it happen. But even for Fatima, murder seems out of character—and unnecessary when you have a cousin like Madam on speed dial.
4. She’s the Group’s Voice of Reason
Fatima often keeps others in check and offers solid advice when things get messy. She’s got Angela to vent to, but without her, the whole group would fall apart. Plus, Zac might snap and go after Jeremiah next—so Fatima’s presence is essential to keep things from spiraling.
5. Her Anger Isn’t That Deep
Sure, Fatima dislikes Gary, but her hatred doesn’t run as deep as others’. Gary’s real enemies are piling up—he’s blackmailing Andi, trying to destroy Jordan, and deceived Penelope into believing they’d start a family, causing her to lose their baby. Compared to those grudges, Fatima’s beef with Gary doesn’t quite cut it.
The mystery of who stabbed Gary continues to unfold—but for now, it’s safe to say Fatima’s hands are clean.
