For Dr. Darcy Sterling, working with clients was typically not a problem. She worked with people who wanted her expertise, her advice, and her help. That all changes in a reality television format where the cast is there for publicity and a paycheck — and may not actually want professional help for their love lives.
"I was an unknown entity and they were going to make me prove that I had the chops to be in front of them," Sterling said of the "Famously Single" cast. "And let me tell you, it was a ride."
Sterling didn't go through the experience alone, though. "I'm so grateful to my network, E!, because they, at one point, empowered me," she said. "They were like, 'If people aren't going to lean into the process, you are completely authorized to tell them to pack their bags.'" She claimed this power, too, and stood her ground. "At one point, I had to do that," she revealed." I said, 'We're either [in] this or we're not, and if you don't want to be here, you can leave.'"
