Erica Mena and Spice’s feud has been a hot topic on social media.
The current season of “Love And Hip Hop Atlanta” is a very controversial one. Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels are still on bad terms. Interestingly enough, their co-parenting drama has trickled into Erica’s relationships with other cast members. Spice took issue with the accusations Erica made about Safaree after she spoke to him. During their conversation, Safaree showed proof of him paying child support for the current year. So Spice felt like this was proof of Erica not being truthful on social media about the situation. However, Erica tried to explain to Spice that Safaree just started paying child support this year. And it has been a long battle to get to that point.
Regardless, Spice wasn’t hearing Erica out. So Shekinah Jo set up a sitdown for Spice and Erica to hash things out. The conversation started off calm. However, things took a turn when Erica talked about the challenges she was dealing with as a single mother. Spice told Erica that she’s been on her own much longer. And she went on to tell Erica that her oldest son hates her. In response, Erica pushed the table in Spice’s direction. Security restrained them both. Erica went on to call Spice a monkey.
MTV has since confirmed that Erica will not be on the upcoming season of LHHATL as a result of her actions. While many were calling for Erica to be held accountable and pushed off the show, some think Spice was wrong, too. And they feel like she is acting as if she didn’t do anything wrong. In their opinion, criticizing Erica’s parenting was foul. Others think Spice was wrong to bring up the child at all.
Spice clarified some things for LHHATL fans.
Well, Spice responded to the criticism during an Instagram Live session.
She said, “I’m the type of person, I don’t know how to be how you guys want me to be which I see is you guys want me to come off fake all the time. ‘Cause that’s what you guys are used to. So when I am this straightforward type of person that says it like it is, y’all come off like, ‘Oh my God! Spice is mean!’ No, I’m not mean. I just don’t know how to be that fake person that you want me to be.”
Spice added, “I was literally speaking on her parenting and never nothing bad about that child. When you’re voicing your opinion which everyone is allowed to have their opinions, stop saying I come for the child. I’ve never said nothing bad about that child.”
I love Spice but she was still wrong for what she said. The comment saying her son doesn’t like her was still uncalled for. She could have simply said “I’m a single mother just like you. You are not the only single mother in the world”. Something to that effect and not saying that the boy doesn’t like his mama. Still DOESN’T justify the monkey and death comments though- period! Spice needs to stay neutral and stay out of Safaree and Erica’s business as well as Erica needs to stay out of Spice and Safaree’s friendship!
The problem with Spice is she thinks she can say whatever she wants to people. She treats the majority of the cast like trash and expects to be worshipped.
First of all Spice, you were wrong to say ANYTHING about Erika’s son no matter if he posted whatever he feels about his mother. That wasn’t for you to speak out your mouth, that’s between her and her child. Second you’re going on social media saying she called you a black monkey, no she called you a blue monkey and she did this in the heat of anger, which you brought on by saying she wasn’t a good mother and hearing her fully about her situation with Safaree her husband. Which seems like you were taking his side. I’m a straight forward woman too, who doesn’t take fake people or negative energy either. I liked you, but now you’re doing too much and not getting the facts or listening to all sides of the story and that is wrong. Everybody’s journey is different and just because you handled it with help doesn’t mean everybody can do it too. Though you’re getting the accolades you worked for, you need to show more empathy for others that you don’t know what their going through.
They actually was speaking on how Safaree was supposedly traumatized that Spice was on her death bed but didn’t give 2 freaking Flores about Erica when she was on hers, then Spice brought up the divorce and kids. Spice acts as if Erica’s son told her personally that he dislikes and hates his mother. Even if he did or whoever told her that,Spice shouldn’t have said that because of Erica would’ve said that to Spice, she would have acted a monkey (no pun intended)🤫
She used to stay messing with Tokyo…Like she some hit sh-t! Which she in no way is!!!
Spice,
Unfortunately, you don’t get it and I’m not sure that you will. You are still justifying your part. Honestly, if I had the authority, you both would be fired. You did say something about her child. READ THIS! DO NOT BRING UP ANOTHER PERSON’S CHILD, PERIOD! You’re both emotionally out of control and anything you both said at that point was not going to come out right.
You were wrong too and should be fired. Erika is an emotional wreck with a heartbreak and children on top of that. She was a walking time bomb waiting to explode and you poked and poked until you woke up the bear.
If I were Erika Mena, I would sue for your not being fired too. It’s unfortunate but both of you need to have your emotions worked on.
I wish you both well!
Spice claiming to be so real and we’re so used to the fake schitt is purely laughable! Spice has become everything she claimed to can’t stand when she came. When she came she didn’t like anyone saying “b!+ch” to her playfully or not. Now the word just slides out of her mouth on a regular. Spice is also the one that sat up at that table at a brunch for Kenya and pointed out all the females at the table that slept with Kenya’s fiancé with timelines crossing over. Then said she did nothing. *rolls eyes*
I knew before the episode aired that Safaree was full of schitt and I was saying if you paid child support 20yrs late it would just show “Paid” for the month. Not “Paid Late” Don’t everyone remember that he went crying to the judge that he didn’t even make enough money to pay any child support and fought it tooth and bone.
And Spice absolutely did not have to say that Erica’s son hates or dislikes her. #1 a bunch of teens can’t stand their mothers because of hormones alone. She was trying to hurt Erica with those words. That wasn’t about a sista saying to another “we’re the same ” that was Spice saying to Erica “You’re no good. I’m friends with your ex-husband and your son doesn’t even like you!” Especially knowing Safaree and Erica were still sleeping together – and knowing the guy is still going around trashing you and giving other women’s kids gifts – was a slap in Erica’s face. Nothing justifies Erica going for the cheap shot at melanin but a lot of people are just saying they probably would’ve went physical with Spice too.
Also, didn’t Spice say to Erica, “You’re just mad because the season is about Bambi and not you!”? She was trying to hurt Erica. Spice is not dumb. She knows her words cut deep but soon as someone doesn’t agree it’s all about her being too real and we’re used to the fake schitt. Oh, and I completely knew that was a dig at Americans. She playing in our faces.
Look the network has protocol to follow and they did just that. Regardless certain rules you must follow in order to remain a cast member and when you disregard that you are OUT! Plain and simple
Agreed. She triggered her and took a jab at her to defend Safaree about something that ain’t her business anyway, and hit below the belt..she clapped and Erica clapped back..what did she expect? Erica is sensitive about her relationship with her child and she is sensitive and subconscious about being dark skinned anyway..anything said regarding her looks would probably come off as racial…
I think that was Erica’s plan to get out of that long a-s contract. She doing movies and other big things. Those contracts Mona got on them is crazy. Brillant Erica if you ask me. God Bless in all your future projects and life. xoxooxo
Spice think she the QUEEN OF ATL she come VERY STRONG at the other women.Spice want it to be all about her .We all know Karlie is MESSY af but she went all the way to DR and Spice treated her like trash….it’s just a matter of time before her and Shekinah fall out….
WHY ARE WE IGNORING THE FACT THAT SPICE HASNT KEPT IT REAL ABOUT THAT BOYFRIEND SHE HAD AND HE JUST DISAPPEARED WITHOUT DETAILED EXPLAINATION—-AND NOBODY BRINGS UP! SHE HAS THE NERVE FOR SURE
It’s not about us wanting her to be fake. It’s about us wanting her to have more empathy for other people and stop acting like only her feelings are valid. She came to that sit-down wanting to fight. So she came in bad faith and she intended to hurt Erica from jump over Safaree out of all people. Too many women are like this. They get some kind of joy out of hurting other women while they cape for some trash a-s man. You come for anyone’s parenting, don’t play victim when they get mad. Erica was wrong for being racist. She’s not wrong for being offended by Spice coming for her parenting. Spice is speaking on a child she doesn’t even know personally. That’s weird and beyond messy.
Spice Ggiirrll you was wrong as H. Your attention was not on having an adult conversation with Erica from the beginning. You knew what you was doing. You knew that was going to hurt Erica when you said it. No, you did not say anything bad about her son but you cut the girl with a knife when you say what you said. They’ve blown this out on the proportion. Erica called you a monkey stating that she was ugly. It has nothing to do with no races slur. That woman said that out of hurt, embarrassment and anger. It had nothing to do with racism.
When I tell you that Spice has a lot of nerve. The fact that she mentioned Erica’s son at all is a NO NO because if Erica had said thats why your kids live apart from you Spice would of had a cow regardless of why the kids live where they live her traveling and whatever Spice still would of had a COW!. I use to like her gave her props for digging for what she wants and getting it. But that whole I’m never wrong and even if I am I’m still right annoys me to no end! And just like many on here that commented I AGREE she should not be unscathed she should be terminated also because she was root of what went down by mentioning Erica’s son but she’ll never get that because she’s too busy wanting to be a RIGHT FIGHTER! And when Bambi said she didn’t get a chance to speak to Erica in depth here go Spice with her sarcasm… Oh didn’t speak to your bestfriend what and why was that necessary to say and when Bambi clapped back she wants get loud and louder when again her remark got answered but she didn’t like it. But this was the most dumbest of all that got me to say WOW Spice is something else. When she didn’t want Karlie moving in her neighborhood or close to her because of her privacy how narcissistic is that. Yes Karlie is quite messy ok ok over the top messy but she would be able to live wherever she wants without Spice regulating where she can live is utter ridiculous. Well good people I’m out enjoyed this everyone stay safe be blessed
Erica has used this term before and social media still remembers. Spice hurt you by what she said, you could have said anything else except calling her a blue monkey….You wrote a check with your mouth that your a-s can’t cash……
They both WRONG!!!!! Spice is wrong for saying Erica’s son doesn’t like her you never bring kids in these types of situations period point blank!!!! Erica is wrong for referencing spice as a monkey blue money black monkey pink monkey it doesn’t matter what color you attached to it it’s wrong on all levels, how dare you call a black woman a monkey!!!! She said she wishes spice would have died on the table what the h-ll you couldn’t have never respected me and had love for me for this to turn into such hate so easily and quickly!!!!! Spice didn’t try to fight her Erica pushed the table on her Erica turned it into something much deeper!!!!!
I think the point everyone is missing is, VH1 had time to edit it out before airing that part of the show!!!! Or handling it in a different way??? So the show is capitalizing off of this more than anything else!!!! Yes Erica should be gone for the monkey and death comments and I don’t think Spice was wrong for saying her son doesn’t rock with her fa real. They had a relationship in earlier seasons where they were all friends and I assume she learned about the son thing then??? But Erica took it left because she just a crazy b-tch and thinks she doesn’t have to deal with the consequences of her actions!!!!!
Spice kids don’t even live with her and she didn’t raise them. I guarantee you she’d want to kill someone if they ever said her kids don’t like her. So Spice and everyone else can stop playing stupid because we all know it will go down the second you mention anybody’s kids. Being racist is a fireable offense for most employers, so Erica was rightfully fired. But this is the same show where black women call each other all kinds of animals and these same mad fans laugh and don’t see a problem. Keep the same energy for the black cast members too. This whole show has been toxic since day 1.
First off nobody wants you to be Fake. But been fake and messy are two different things. Your story line is weak so you prey on others to make yourself look good.
Erica knew what was gonna be discussed at that meeting..She knew they were gonna discuss her relationship with Safaree,child support basically her children too.Spice was there to ask Erica what’s the issue that Erica has with her. At that meeting both of these ladies knew this what was gonna be discussed.Safaree is Erica story line she has to talk about him. Erica was saying Safaree cared more about Spice being sick than he cared about her and his kids, Spice said to her you act like you are the only one that’s been divorced and raising your children by yourself, get over it because women have basically been doing it for along time, Spice then said I been doing it for 14 years, Erica said I been doing it for 16 years, Spice then said with a child or son that don’t like like you. Erica brought up her son, not Spice.Spice did hit low with the son comment but Erica came lower with the blue money and you should have died comments. That’s the real problem.
The monkey comment – people have referred to black people as looking or being like monkeys, for years and it is thought to be racism comment.Some might not think so but it is considered a racism comment.Which Erica has called other cast members monkeys in the past and nothing was done about it and her mouth is very reckless. During that altercation production was asking Erica to stop and trying to calm her down, she continued yelling the monkey comments, they kept trying to calm her down but by this time she was totally out of control,she kept yelling the monkey comments, and making monkey sounds, and started imitating moves like a monkey and yelling you should have died.This is part of the reason why she was fired and not Spice,Spice was able to calm down when production stepped in. Erica kept going, she was upset and out of control by now, there was no calming down, they said Erica continued for about 15 minutes, but wishing death on someone is really extreme that’s on another level.
Spice you are a sh-t starter you no better than her when it comes parenting you don’t never have your kids either. We all been called something you are a cheer leader for her ex husband.,,,Sign BP
I Don’t think Spice ever liked Erica
I watch the show Spice is out of bounds u never mention kids no matter what U like to act like a tough one cause why your getting out there U called out Bambi U and Shekinajh both too much for the show stop messing with the OGs you haven’t been there too long to know and your other sidekick that’s why u ain’t on the show with Tiny and T.I. cause of her loud and annoying voice as for Spice your music is shitty😝😝
