It seems like Love & Hip Hop star Erica Mena is back in the headlines—this time, not just for her outspoken personality but also for her shockingly thin appearance during a recent podcast interview. Fans were quick to notice her dramatic weight loss, with some even commenting that she looked “crackhead-like”, sparking concern and debate across social media.
But that wasn’t the only thing that had people talking. Erica did not hold back when speaking about her issues with Love & Hip Hop, calling out what she sees as unfair treatment and hypocrisy within the franchise.
And despite her controversial exit from Love & Hip Hop, Mena is far from being out of the reality TV game—she has officially signed on for a new reality show starring herself on the Zeus Network.
Erica Mena Calls Out Love & Hip Hop for Double Standards
During the interview, Erica Mena blasted the show for what she sees as inconsistencies in how cast members are punished for their words and actions.
Mena was booted from the franchise in 2023 after a heated argument where she called Spice a “monkey”, a remark that was widely condemned as racist and colorist. However, she now claims that Love & Hip Hop has allowed other cast members to make colorist remarks without facing the same consequences.
“Someone went low, and I decided to go to hell,” she admitted, acknowledging that she retaliated harshly in her past conflicts. But she also pointed out that other cast members have made questionable remarks without being kicked off the show.
The double standard, according to Erica, proves that the show picks and chooses who they want to punish and who they allow to slide.
Fans React: Concern Over Erica Mena’s Appearance
While her comments stirred debate about Love & Hip Hop’s policies, fans couldn’t help but focus on Erica’s appearance.
In recent months, the reality star has looked noticeably thinner, but during the podcast interview, she appeared even more frail, prompting social media speculation about her well-being.
Some fans showed genuine concern, questioning whether she might be struggling with stress, health issues, or personal problems. Others, however, were far less kind, with some comments likening her to a “crackhead”.
Regardless of speculation, Erica has not addressed any health concerns publicly, leaving fans to wonder if something deeper is going on behind the scenes.
Erica Mena Speaks on Cancel Culture: “Humans Don’t Have the Power to Cancel People”
Aside from her feud with Love & Hip Hop, Erica also addressed the ongoing backlash against cast member Flo, who recently came under fire for calling Amara La Negra “Black”.
Mena questioned why fans are so selective when it comes to who they cancel, saying:
“There’s no rules. Humans don’t have the power to cancel people.”
She seemingly downplayed the idea of cancel culture, suggesting that people will always have fans and supporters no matter what.
While some agree with her stance, others believe that certain behaviors deserve accountability, especially when they involve colorism, racism, or offensive remarks—which ironically is the reason why Mena was fired from Love & Hip Hop in the first place.
Erica Mena Signs on for a New Reality Show on Zeus Network
Despite the controversy surrounding her, Erica Mena has landed a new reality show—this time, starring herself on Zeus Network, a platform known for its uncensored and drama-filled reality TV content.
While details about the show’s format and premiere date have yet to be confirmed, sources say that it will focus on Erica’s life post-Love & Hip Hop, her family, and her ongoing career in entertainment. Given Zeus’ reputation for producing highly dramatic, no-holds-barred reality shows, fans can expect raw, unfiltered Erica, possibly addressing her past controversies head-on.
With this new opportunity, Erica proves once again that she remains a reality TV mainstay, despite past backlash and drama. Whether this new show will redeem her public image or fuel even more controversy remains to be seen—but one thing is for sure: Erica Mena is not going anywhere.
