Erica Mena Previously Came Under Fire For A Comment She Made Toward Spice
As The Shade Room previously reported, Mena came under heavy backlash in August 2023. At the time, a ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ episode was aired, which showed Mena referring to her castmate, Spice, as a “blue monkey” during a heated exchange.
In the weeks that followed, Spice spoke out about the altercation and let fans know that she wasn’t letting Mena’s “opinion” of her devalue her.
“…Someone’s opinion of me does not value who I am and not because someone thinks something of me, that doesn’t mean that’s who I am,” Spice explained during an interview with Forbes.
During the conversation, Spice also addressed Mena’s apparent diss of dark-skinned women.
“I’ve always reminded my melanated women how beautiful they are, to love themselves [for] who they are [so] someone can’t come and say a few words,” she said. “…That doesn’t define me. I know who I am.”
In September of that year, Mena publicly apologized for her comment about Spice, per The Shade Room. Additionally, she alleged that her words were not “racially driven.”
“I deeply regret my insensitive comment and want to humbly apologize to anybody I hurt or offended by my thoughtlessness,” she told TMZ at the time. “My choice of words was wrong, and I take full responsibility for what I said. I am committed to listening to the voices of those affected and will work toward making amends. As a woman of color and the mother of two black children, I want to make it clear that my use of that word was not in any way racially driven.”
