Previously, Erica Mena faced backlash after she called ‘Love & Hip Hop’ co-star and Jamaican artist Spice a “monkey.” The Puerto Rican TV personality then told Spice she “should have died” after a recent stay in the hospital. The situation has caused much discussion among fans of the show and the media, and now the show has responded. 

Producers from the show took to social media and issued a statement on Mena, saying, “The ‘Love & Hip Hop’ franchise has never shied away from hard conversations in our community. Working hand-in-hand with our partners, viewers will see the impact of Erica Mena’s remarks play out in the final three episodes of the season. Effective immediately, she will not appear in the next season of ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.’” Stay tuned for more updates.
