Apart from coaching the women involved in her Circle of Bosses, Stormy Wellington will also showcase the more dramatic side of being involved in her inner circle on "Million Dollar Hustle." Plenty of drama is sure to come about as a result of the competition between the members of the Circle of Bosses, given that being a part of Wellington's inner circle comes with perks like expensive cars and designer clothing. "Running with me is not for the faint at heart," Wellington said in a preview trailer of the show, per InTouch Weekly. "Even though we're sisters, success and money can take a toll on relationships."

Stormy Wellington overcame adversity to become a self-made millionaire

Before she began helping people reach their financial goals, Stormy Wellington was struggling to keep her own head above water. According to Wellington's personal website, Wellington grew up moving from home to home in an unstable environment that, at one point, included foster care. After dropping out of high school in the ninth grade, working at a strip club at 13 years old to provide for her family, and becoming a young mother at 15 years old, Wellington managed to turn her life around. Years later, Wellington is a self-made millionaire and is coaching others to reach their financial and spiritual goals through several entrepreneurial endeavors, including Girl Hold My Hand Inc., Economic Excellence, 1000 Families, and CBD company, Wells CBD, according to Motivation.

"I feel like God placed me on this Earth to help women to dig out of the pits of life to find their true hustle — not everybody likes how I do that, though," Wellington said in a preview trailer of "Million Dollar Hustle," per InTouch Weekly. "There are thousands of women that I help daily. They all fight for my attention for the coveted position of being in what I call my 'Circle of Bosses.'" At least on the show, the Circle of Bosses includes Dianna Williams (aka Coach D from "Bring It!"), Maniya Essence Canty (Wellington's daughter), Nathalie Nicole Smith, Bawselady, Tammy Price, Bianca Shadai, and Ana Cantera, per Deadline.

Wellington had a major falling out with her daughter that takes place on Million Dollar Hustle

Drama has already begun to swirl around the production of "Million Dollar Hustle." According to The Jasmine Brand, Stormy Wellington and her 21-year-old daughter, Maniya Essence Canty (and a member of Wellington's Circle of Bosses), have a falling out that actually occurs during the filming of the show. In an Instagram live, Canty revealed that her mother had kicked her out of the house after she unknowingly had dinner with a woman that her mother did not like. "You don't do that to your child!" Canty said in an Instagram live, per The Jasmine Brand. "Y'all keep texting, 'She loves you. She loves you. She loves you.' Yes, that's my mom! I'm sure she loves me but she got a very weird way of showing it."

However, it appears as though the pair has since mended their relationship. In an Instagram post made by Wellington earlier this week, she accused those around her of trying to come between them. "Home is where the heart is ... she knows my heart beat from the inside @maniya_ you sickos really tried to separate us s.. this is how I learned spiritual attacks!!! You won't win though my God is in control," Wellington captioned a photo of her daughter. For her own part, Canty appeared to be glad that she was no longer fighting with her mother. "You only get one mom, cherish her. Note to self," Canty captioned a photo of herself and Wellington embracing on Instagram.
