What REALLY happened behind the scenes of Coupled? Alicia sits down with her longtime friend and former castmate Domonique Price for a conversation they could not have had 10 years ago. Alicia and Dom were both cast on the 2016 dating reality show Coupled, where successful women traveled to Anguilla to date men in an attempt to find love. But what viewers saw on television was not always what happened behind the scenes. For the first time, the two friends open up about reality TV editing, manipulation, being portrayed as enemies, online harassment, mental health, dating in the public eye, and the lasting impact the experience had on them. They also talk about the friendship that survived it all — from watching episodes together and laughing at the edits to showing up for each other through some of the darkest seasons of their lives. Domonique also shares why she would consider reality TV again, the legal advice every woman needs to hear before signing a major contract, protecting your name and likeness, and what she would tell her younger self today. And of course… they spill some tea.  This is the conversation 10 years in the making.
