00:00Will you marry me?
00:02Yeah!
00:03Previously, all sisters.
00:05I'm in a relationship. I don't cheat.
00:07I don't care.
00:09It's him.
00:11Who?
00:12I'm here to see Hayden Moss.
00:15It's Damani.
00:17He called me last night
00:19to tell me that he's engaged
00:21to his ex.
00:23Okay.
00:24And she wants me to get rid of my embryos.
00:27So this is her?
00:30Rich?
00:39What are you doing here?
00:41Of course.
00:42There he is, Rich the Shadow, always trailing behind me.
00:46And I see you got flowers, too.
00:48You still chasing after Sabrina, I see.
00:50What's it to you, bruh?
00:51All right, you guys do not do this here.
00:53Wait a minute.
00:54Why can't he have your babies?
00:56He seems thirsty enough.
00:58You trying to force my man?
00:59It's because your man offered.
01:02Things have changed, Sabrina.
01:04He has me now to stop him from doing stupid shit like this.
01:08Oh, hold up.
01:09I get what's going on.
01:11You've been after Sabrina this whole time, and now that you can't have her, your punk ass
01:15is trying to renege, huh?
01:16Punk ass.
01:17He upgraded.
01:18You too.
01:19Sure.
01:20It's probably after I turned him down, he needed some leftovers.
01:25Bitch, don't play with me.
01:27I am not playing with you.
01:28I am not playing with you.
01:29It's OK.
01:30It's OK.
01:31You can't do it, man.
01:32I've been waiting for you to do something to shoot.
01:34The money's doing something.
01:35Hey, you're the money.
01:36Stop fighting.
01:37Please.
01:38Please.
01:39Swing.
01:40Hey.
01:41Look at me.
01:42You OK?
01:43I'm down.
01:44Calm down.
01:45Calm down.
01:46You know, if your ass wasn't so difficult, you could probably find a man that actually
01:51wants to have your baby.
01:52Hold up, lady.
01:53I don't know your ass, but I know this piece of shit.
01:56Say one more word, and I promise you, I'm going to fly her off on his job.
01:58Hey, stop.
01:59Please say another word to Sabrina.
02:00Please.
02:01Stop.
02:04Do something with those embryos if you want to.
02:06Bitch, this ain't over.
02:08We'll see your ass in court.
02:09Good.
02:10I guess I'll see you both there, then.
02:15Hey, you OK?
02:16Yeah.
02:17Thank you, Rich.
02:18I'm fine.
02:19We didn't have to be here.
02:23I know.
02:24I just, I didn't like the way we left things last, and I just wanted to talk.
02:27Yeah, I know, but we, we don't have anything to talk about, OK?
02:32Not anymore.
02:33Are you being serious right now, Sabrina?
02:35Come on.
02:41Bye.
02:45Andy, you didn't mention this.
03:01I'm sorry.
03:02I, I didn't know.
03:06Some kind of DEI job fair you got going on in your office today?
03:10It's a good one.
03:11It's a good one.
03:12That was a serious question.
03:14Hayden, escort your client to your office now.
03:18You look familiar.
03:21Familiar.
03:22OK.
03:24I look familiar.
03:26I can't.
03:27I look familiar.
03:28Whoa, she's got a mouth on her.
03:30Can you control her, please?
03:31Get him out of here now.
03:34Don't let that loud one ruin the culture around here.
03:37She don't work here.
03:38Don't worry about her.
03:39Karen, I am so sorry.
03:41I didn't know.
03:42I can't take this.
03:43I should go.
03:44Karen, this is not what we were told.
03:45I'm so sorry.
03:46OK, just let me explain.
03:47Let me explain.
03:48Why is he here?
03:51He's represented by the firm.
03:53Oh.
03:54Why would I have these women give statements to you
03:56when the doctor has ties to your firm?
03:58It's not like that.
04:00Sorry, Andy.
04:01You may have the best of intentions, but we're leaving.
04:04But my girls hold me down.
04:08And them boys mess around.
04:10And my love life is a headache.
04:13We're going out tonight.
04:15Cause I'm in love.
04:20Let me explain.
04:21If you had been upfront about this, you wouldn't need to explain.
04:24OK.
04:25And in full transparency, he is buddies with one of the founding partners.
04:30But that is a part of the fight.
04:33OK, I remember being in the hospital with you.
04:40I thought you weren't going to make it.
04:43It's OK.
04:44Help me in.
04:45OK?
04:46You had to deal with that, Andy.
04:47But what does that have to do with Dr. Cruz and this firm?
04:50Because here at this firm, when I was made partner,
04:53they stripped my power away from me until I fought back.
04:57And even after all of that, I asked to take on this case.
05:00And you know what they told me?
05:01No.
05:02Because of the conflict of interest.
05:04So you don't need to have permission to even pursue a lawsuit?
05:08Then why are we really here?
05:10I believe that I can get Benson to drop him as a client
05:13and take on this case.
05:14Because we are not helpless.
05:17And your stories deserve to be heard.
05:19I know you ain't know me that long.
05:21And you've known Andy for an even shorter amount of time.
05:26But she means everyone.
05:30There's a million things she could be doing right now,
05:33but she's doing what's on her heart.
05:35So...
05:41I'm gonna go stay.
05:44And I'm gonna say what I gotta say.
05:48And I'm not gonna let that man stop me.
05:53I'm right behind you.
05:56Let's go change his mind.
05:58We're with you, Andy.
06:08Y'all gonna be doing line drills in a few minutes.
06:10That's what I'm talking.
06:12You know, more than line drills or something.
06:14Hey!
06:15What's up, Mr. Case?
06:16Man!
06:17I appreciate you coming out, man.
06:18Look, I know you're a busy, busy dude.
06:20Thank you for making time, man.
06:21No, this is...
06:22It's all right.
06:23It's cool.
06:24It reminds me of my glory daddies, you know?
06:25Is that right?
06:27Ah, I see what you thought.
06:28What you thought?
06:29I'm just saying.
06:30You said wide receiver, right?
06:31Nah, wide receiver one, to be exact.
06:34Don't be acting like you was cold like that.
06:36All these former players, they just swear they was Randy Moss or somebody.
06:39See?
06:40See?
06:41See?
06:42You're always talking.
06:43But look, the thing about me is you could actually go online and look up my highlights
06:45because I actually played football after they made cameras, unlike you.
06:48Oh, after?
06:49Really?
06:50Let me tell you something, young bud.
06:51What's up?
06:52Yeah, you know you wouldn't go somewhere without a soldier.
06:54Yo!
06:55I just didn't want to do you like that in front of your football, you know?
06:57You take my shirt off, though.
06:58Yo, man.
06:59What you play, DB?
07:00Oh, and a little bit of linebacker.
07:01You know.
07:02I was good enough.
07:03I got a few offer letters.
07:04For real?
07:05Yeah.
07:06What's up, man?
07:07I was good enough to get some letters, but I was a bit of a knucklehead in the streets,
07:12my brother.
07:13Oh.
07:14Right, right, right.
07:15Man, I hear that story too often around here, man.
07:18You know.
07:19Now, most of us, we split most of our time between coaching and teaching.
07:23We offer tutoring, counseling, crisis intervention.
07:26Man, that's dope.
07:28Yeah.
07:29Y'all really doing the best y'all can.
07:30Yeah.
07:31And they do kind of suck.
07:34Yes.
07:36Yeah.
07:37But that's why we need your help.
07:39Now, you could coach.
07:40You could mentor.
07:41I mean, we could even expand this thing like you were talking about.
07:47Sound like a lot of work.
07:49Well, actually it is.
07:51That's why I would love to have you on our board of directors.
07:54Now, to have a successful businessman and a former superstar athlete, it'd be great for our organization and for these kids, man.
08:03Former superstar athlete, now you know you're doing too much.
08:07But, um, no, I've been thinking about doing some mentoring.
08:10I just gotta figure out if I got time.
08:13You know?
08:14Well, think about it.
08:15Okay?
08:16I gotta head to the gym.
08:18Send me the information.
08:19I got you.
08:20I got you.
08:21Yes.
08:22Yo, what you doing later?
08:23I don't know.
08:24Figure it out.
08:25Probably go get some drinks with my homeboy or something.
08:26Okay.
08:27Cool.
08:28Sound like fun.
08:29Mm-hmm.
08:30Yeah, it's been a long time.
08:31You know, I'll be at the crib alone chilling, you know.
08:33Yeah.
08:34No.
08:35Laundry, dishes.
08:36Holding clothes.
08:37Yeah, you know.
08:38Mm-hmm.
08:39Ain't doing a whole lot there, you know.
08:40Nah.
08:41It's been a long time, man.
08:42Yeah.
08:43You know, chopping over the guys.
08:44Yeah.
08:45All right, Mr. Keys.
08:47Yeah.
08:48I got you.
08:49I'll send you a text to let you know where it's at.
08:50Well, man.
08:51All right.
08:52All right.
08:53I see you.
08:54Yep.
09:04Miss King.
09:05Whoa.
09:06Miss Brown.
09:07Girl, you can't be popping up on people like that.
09:12Almost nice to you.
09:13Wait.
09:14What did I do?
09:15I'm in uniform at one time.
09:17Miss King, I really need to see you in my office.
09:21Am I always being cut again?
09:23Because here's the thing.
09:24Oh.
09:25I got a full-time life, so I need full-time money.
09:28Right?
09:29Yeah.
09:30Look, I wanted to wait until we were in private
09:32to make sure that I respect you as an employee.
09:35But unfortunately, Hire Airlines has taken a larger budget cut.
09:40Don't do this.
09:41So that means that we'll have to be letting you go, Miss King.
09:48I've been the perfect employee.
09:52Close to perfect employee.
09:55Well, I would say that you have insulted and or assaulted
10:01airport staff, customers, coworkers, all while leaving your office quite early
10:09with the numerous different excuses and reasons.
10:12My kids were sick, and you know that.
10:14Okay, we've already established that you don't have a child.
10:16You can't prove that.
10:18I didn't even mention the vaping, the crude humor, or even your relationship with your former boss.
10:27These are all baseless, unfactual rumors.
10:32Rumors.
10:33Mm.
10:34Don't get comfortable, girl.
10:35Mm.
10:36They're gonna have you lay off all these people.
10:38You're gonna have to lay yourself off.
10:40Now, how's that gonna work, Miss King?
10:43I don't know.
10:44Look.
10:45I haven't thought that through, but I bet you they have.
10:48Look, Miss King.
10:49Uh-uh.
10:50You gonna fire me after I've given the best years of my life to this raggedy-ass airport.
11:00You know what?
11:01That's all right.
11:02Look, Miss King.
11:04I don't care.
11:05You're destroying property.
11:06You're all the shit.
11:07Look.
11:08Look, I just wanna tell you that-
11:10Okay.
11:11Tell me what.
11:12I do think that you're gonna land on your feet.
11:15You know, with your personality and-and-and good wit.
11:19Well, you can save that motivational speech for somebody else after you done fired me.
11:25Y'all asses could've called me and saved my gas.
11:28When we gon' keep in this, Miss King?
11:30And this.
11:35Hello?
11:36Hey.
11:37Yeah, Sabrina.
11:38Oh, yeah.
11:39Sure.
11:40Just send her on back.
11:41Okay.
11:48Hey.
11:49Hey, girl.
11:50I am so sorry to bother you.
11:52I came to see Andy, but they said she's tied up for most of the day.
11:55Yes.
11:56Come on.
11:57Sit down.
11:59You're welcome.
12:00She's in with Karen and the other women getting her testimonies about Dr. Cruz.
12:02That's happening today.
12:03It is.
12:04Okay.
12:05Yeah.
12:06So what's going on?
12:07Kind of embarrassing, but my sperm donor, Damani, he got back with his ex.
12:15And now he does not want me to use the eggs that I fertilized.
12:20I'm scared, Fatima.
12:22I'm really scared.
12:24I put thousands and thousands of dollars into this, and now I'm just back at square one.
12:30Okay.
12:31Okay.
12:32He can't do that.
12:33That's what I was telling him.
12:35But, you know, the laws, they're just so murky around IVF and embryo custody.
12:41Yeah.
12:42And then him and his fiancee, Nia, they came into my job today and they threatened me.
12:48They threatened to take me to court if I don't destroy my embryos.
12:52That's why I came here and I just, can you help me?
12:55Well, first of all, them showing up at your job is harassment and that's not going to work.
13:02I do know that.
13:04Okay.
13:05Let's see.
13:06Let's see.
13:07What are you looking up?
13:08Well, I, I don't really know the laws around all this, but I do know how to find similar
13:13laws and cases.
13:20I know you're busy.
13:21It's fine.
13:22Okay.
13:23Um, question though.
13:24How did the two of you meet?
13:25At work.
13:26Okay.
13:27Yeah.
13:28He interviewed me.
13:29And after a couple conversations, he offered to donate his sperm because I was telling him
13:35about freezing my eggs.
13:36Wow.
13:37That's nice.
13:38A little too nice.
13:41I know.
13:42Rich said the same thing.
13:45Hmm.
13:46I should have seen this coming.
13:48Did he try to sleep with you or make any pests at you?
13:54On a work trip, we flirted a little bit, but I, I shut it down immediately.
14:00Hmm.
14:01I have an idea.
14:04That's where all this came from.
14:07We see men's true colors when they realize they can't have what they want.
14:11But Fatima, there's something with that fiance.
14:16I don't know.
14:17She's doing something.
14:18He's following her lead.
14:20It's, I'm just glad that Rich showed up when he did, to be honest.
14:25Wait a minute.
14:26Rich was there?
14:27Yeah.
14:28Well, he showed up uninvited to my job.
14:32A lot of people seem to be doing that these days.
14:35But honestly, I don't know what I would have done if he hadn't showed up.
14:40Hmm.
14:41Yeah.
14:42So what did Rich say?
14:44I didn't hear him out.
14:46I'm over it.
14:47I put it behind me.
14:49Hmm.
14:50Well, Zach and I were at Richfield the other night, and he was definitely talking about
14:57you a lot.
14:59Really?
15:00Mm-hmm.
15:01Please just take your time.
15:02We'll be recording.
15:03Mr. Benson.
15:04Ladies, this is Mr. Benson, one of the founders of Benson, Jones, Leland, and Barnes.
15:13He will be listening in on the testimonies today.
15:16Hi, ladies.
15:17I told Ms. Barnes that I would sit in and hear your stories, but it's very important that
15:23I say that the firm doesn't promise to do anything beyond this point.
15:30Uh, Mr. Benson, the women are aware.
15:33Thank you for coming.
15:34Absolutely.
15:35But I do have other obligations, so I hope this is quick.
15:40Ah.
15:41Thank you for coming.
15:44Uh, does anyone want to go first?
15:47Let's get this over with.
15:49Okay, please.
15:52I would like you to state your full name and the reason why you're here.
16:00My name is Bianca Simpson, and I am here to talk about my experience with Dr. Cruz.
16:07Can you tell us when and how you met Dr. Cruz?
16:11Uh, uh, 2019.
16:14I was 38 weeks pregnant, and I started having severe, uh, cramps and stomach pains at work.
16:23It got so bad I couldn't stand.
16:25So my manager called an ambulance for me.
16:28Dr. Cruz was the OBGYN on call that night at the hospital.
16:34And from the very beginning, he chastised me for not being at home resting, like everyone has the luxury of paid leave.
16:43I was already in pain and nervous, and he made it 10 times worse.
16:50Dr. Cruz knew that I was alone and used his authority to bully me into a rushed and sloppy C-section.
16:58And my baby died because of it.
17:08I said no at first.
17:11And I begged and pleaded for a second opinion, but he made it seem like if I didn't agree, right then I was putting my baby in danger.
17:18So I gave in.
17:20When they pulled my boy out, I didn't hear no crying.
17:24I passed out from blood loss.
17:30And when I woke up, not only was my baby dead, but they told me that he performed a hysterectomy on me.
17:50Now my baby's not here, and I can't have kids.
17:55Is there any paper trail proving what was done?
17:59My medical records, but I have a feeling they don't match my account.
18:05You never filed a complaint or looked into your medical report?
18:09Well, no, I...
18:11Mr. Benson, not everyone has access to that information or know how to get it.
18:16Honestly, after I healed up, I just wanted to put it all behind me.
18:23I always thought I have a big family, but that was taken away from me by Dr. Cruz.
18:33Oh, well, well.
18:34That's badass.
18:35I see you weren't here doing nothing-ups again.
18:36What?
18:37What are you doing?
18:38What?
18:39What are you doing?
18:40I'm working out to manage my stress, like my therapist said.
18:45So you're doing a bunch of nothing.
18:46Got it.
18:47You know what?
18:48I'm only gonna stop so I can stop bullshitting with this workout.
18:52Thank you, because it was cringey to watch.
18:53Your mom was cringey to watch.
18:54What's up with you, y'all?
18:55I got fired today.

20:29love atlanta too much that's the truth where would i go not to seattle not to seattle and tony won't
20:36let you go that far anyway so oh that's gonna be over with me what do you mean
20:43i lost my man to someone else who
20:50awesome to the spread it's paul a he gambling now enough to take my money
20:59cold hard cash are you serious yes this is oh i'm sorry i don't mean to laugh but this is
21:05od like if it's not one thing it's the next thing i know yeah it reminds me of you and karen
21:13it does so then trust me when i tell you if it don't fit don't force it look danny come on man
21:20sometimes you just gotta have tough conversations well it ain't gonna be today
21:24because today has been rough enough well if you want to burn off some steam you can always work out
21:32with me i don't think i'm done i think i did plenty what you mean yeah you said you were just getting
21:37started good burn good burn danny yeah yeah my name is aubrey davis i along with my husband and doula
21:46were planning and at home birth but my water broke at 38 weeks while i was away from home
21:53dr cruz was the lead doctor at the hospital can you walk us through you and your family's
21:59experience with dr fu's it started with small microaggressions rude remarks like calling my family
22:07an entourage making it seem like we were there to cause trouble he called my husband my baby daddy
22:14over and over again even after my husband asked him to stop and after the pain kicked in it only got worse
22:22what did your licensed doula have to say about all of this she wasn't let into the hospital
22:28so i spent all that time coming up with the plan i felt comfortable with for nothing how did you all proceed
22:40i still wanted to try to deliver without an epidural but i was in so much pain i changed my mind
22:48dr cruz decided to teach me a lesson he said it was a lesson for my holistic mumbo jumbo
22:58he forced me to deliver for 12 hours no epidural no pain medication my husband went off dr cruz threatened
23:10to call the cops on him kicked him out of the room this is highly unusual is it not yes but he painted us
23:18out to be the out of control troublemakers he even said in the report that i was the one who didn't ask
23:23for the epidural so for 12 hours you asked for help and you didn't receive the help you needed you can
23:31handle it that's what he said while i was screaming
23:38i screamed for god my mom anybody but i was alone
23:45when i complained they made it seem like i wasn't to be trusted like they couldn't believe me
23:50that's the story right it's black women i think we are so strong and that we can handle the pain
24:00or that our pain doesn't exist and they make us suffer because we can take it
24:08and then if we address it we're aggressive or difficult
24:14or liars exactly every time right i filed a complaint with the hospital and the medical board
24:27and what happened once you filed the complaint nothing nothing it was my word against his and he
24:35had another doctor there shadowing him to verify all the details so they made me seem like i was out of
24:41my mind so it was my word against the hospitals but i also heard that dr cruz is a powerful man
24:48friends in high places
24:53so what did he say it's nothing that you don't already know but he wants you back bad
25:00and from what i can tell he's generally sorry
25:03yeah i don't know if i can forgive him he really hurt me
25:11but i do miss him
25:15opposed to the other men out in these streets
25:18it's been exhausting and even when you run into a good guy that you think has good intentions
25:25somehow they turn into a demoni
25:27hmm yep that's pretty much how dating goes i mean all you can do is ask the questions do the research
25:35and pray for the best of these negroes a lot of praying all right and speaking of research um what
25:42i'm seeing is honestly these cases are different state by state and it's this nia chick that's doing all
25:49the pushing so i suggest we do a little pushing of our own how so you trust me
26:00oh girl hurry up i have to get ready for tonight

27:13gonna happen to this place after karen leaves yeah well you still have roots to riches i know but i
27:19don't like to depend on just one thing that's very expensive over here well i'm sure karen's gonna keep
27:25this place open somehow she needs a gift to me i would turn it into pam's wig emporium no she needs
27:34to give it to someone with style class and turn it into something nice maybe i'd have naked man out

29:22together pretty sure i'll be in charge and that is a meeting we'll talk more about it i have to go
29:28because there's a white man at my house trying to convince me that you put red sauce on party meatballs
29:33y'all know about it get out again more bye bye production crazy sell i had a medical emergency with my
29:46twins my ob couldn't get to me so i ended up with him
29:53i truly believe had i not spent so much time in the waiting room and convincing dr cruz
30:06it's okay it's okay it's okay here my baby would still be here
30:17okay we're gonna go to a short break no no no
30:31there's been enough breaking are you sure
30:36positive
30:43we've wasted so much time
30:50i asked him please check on my babies
30:54and he refused
31:07do you think that dr cruz purposely ignored your pain
31:12i do
31:15he couldn't have cared less if we lived or died that day
31:18dr cruz silenced me
31:28i don't mean to defend him at a time like this
31:34but brett delivered our children and our grandchildren he was observant caring kind
31:43benson you are white as is your wife
31:46it's very clear that dr cruz does not view these black women in the same light
31:54but he's been practicing for over 30 years do you think he could have survived that long not caring
32:03about the women's lives he affects yes yes
32:11this is america
32:14he is a white man so yes
32:19because when crimes against black and brown people happen
32:24you can get away with anything
32:25you can be anything be a doctor
32:33shit he can run for office
32:38do you believe that if your own ob-gyn were present that your experience would have been different
32:46i do
32:48he didn't believe that i knew what was happening with my body but once
32:56he didn't do his due diligence to check himself
33:02carrying twins

35:58so i suggest you all get ready for a very lengthy custody war that you will eventually lose
