Former “Love and Hip Hop” star Erica Mena gets a new show on Zeus Network.
It appears that reality TV star and actress Erica Mena landed on her feet months after being fired from “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.”
As previously reported, Erica Mena was fired after an episode aired in which she called Spice a monkey during a very tense argument. This was after Spice criticized Erica, saying Erica’s son didn’t like her, triggering a very sensitive nerve. The back-and-forth between Erica and Spice culminated in drama that stemmed from Erica’s ex-husband, Safaree Samuels.
Spice maintained a friendship with Safaree throughout his divorce from Erica, which led to issues in their friendship. To make matters more tense, Spice believed Erica lied about Safaree not making his child support payments.
After the firing, LHHATL had a special on racism, and Erica apologized for her comments in the now-infamous scene. It also appears Erica will be returning to TV very soon.
Zeus Network and its owner, Lemuel Plummer, posted a teaser on social media. The post revealed that Erica will have a new dating show series on Zeus. She will be seeking “to find love with men… AND women!”
The teaser features Erica and Lemuel partying in Miami on a yacht surrounded by bikini-clad women and in a club with flashing cameras.

Erica claps back at fans who are critical of Erica’s new show on Zeus.
When news of Erica’s new show on Zeus Network dropped, many fans were happy for her. However, many critics appeared in the posts’ comments on social media. One such comment on Instagram caught Erica’s attention.
The commenter said, “From VH1 to Zeus – aka no rules apply on this show😂😂😂”
Erica saw the comment and swiftly replied. In her reply, Erica said, “From one bag to an even
bigger one. And you’re still gonna be addicted to tuning in just like the last network 😏😜”
Some black people are so disappointing and shameless.
Agree! Erica, is Very, Very, Very, Very Racist
Why is she coming back on television, I guess I want be watching this Network at all.
All the TV shows are saying things that is inappropriate, I do not in my heart believe this woman called Spice a monkey because of prejudice, there is so many other words she could have used, however she did not. I believe that she should have stayed on the show, but she have a new start, and I am proud that she will be able to maintain her lifestyle without child support, or a man that was not ready and on image time….. Mena take care of your family girl, and find love on your journey. Lose the jealous, controlling/ possessive nature, become more feminine on the inside instead of the outside….. Get…..rid of the anger and resentment and give yourself a new start without no holds bar…… Kisses….. Oh, grow!
Erica has called multiple black people monkeys. She is racist. Stop playing with us.
She’s not racist you talk about my child and bashed my motherhood so I’m gonna throw a disgraceful comment back at you and I’m black myself
Erica is racist and she’s referred to multiple black people as monkeys during past tirades. You being black and defending her only means you’re anti black and have your own insecurities about your blackness. Black people are the only race of people who tolerate disrespect. Work on your low self esteem and leave the rest of us who know better alone.
Nobody is taking her seriously.All she does is argue and fight. Oh and it’s always someone else’s fault. 🙄
I like Erica spice push her button
You have very low standards.
I say do you boo. I ain’t mad at cha. Like they say if you don’t like it then don’t watch it.
💯 #FACTS Don’t watch then, it’s okay. She has kids she have to support and ROLEX watches to purchase. I hate that SPICE is not being held accountable for her BULLCRAP she did and said. She is not the victim. She went low as well! Kids are off limits.
How can you equate Erica calling Spice a Black woman a monkey to Spice telling Ericaa her son don’t like you? What Erica said hit all Black women below the belt, and it was extremely racist. Erica’s son is personal to only her!
everyone needs to watch the show again she said blue monkey not black monkey I don’t like the girl but what wrong is wrong I’m puerto rican and the same ones on the show called white people out there name like white bi*ch they didn’t get fired if u going to fire one for saying blue monkey then need to rewatch all the episodes and everyone that said Anything that has to do with racism needs to be fired IJS
Exactly Lee. Some black people really hate themselves. They embarrass themselves, their parents, ancestors, and entire family lineage defending racists like Erica.
I said the same thing, I fast forward all the scenes with her in them, they let her do whatever and say whatever,even the other cast members, they stood by and watched her Billy and degrade Karlie for a whole season and no one said anything, I was hoping they got rid of her blue haired 🍑 too
H-es gotta eat too….get yo coins miserable “mean-ah” 😜😜😜😜😜
I’m waiting for Safaree to speak on this venture.
I didnt agree with Spice brining her son up (however she didn’t bash him, spoke on her parenting) however BLACK people she said what she said so keep supporting her Ole crazy self #dummies 🤦♀️. I now group her in with 304seline Hernandez don’t watch nothing of hers!!
U say something about my kids going low not even the word hell is where we going straight there no turns ! Kids should be off limits on all these shows cause they are innocent and should never be brought up at alllllllllll ………….
If Erica can talk 💩🐂 about Stevie J’s kids unprovoked, (calling them Bebe’s Kids) then Stevie had every right to hit below the belt right back. #NotCondoningTalkingAboutPeoplesKids
#ButEricaAlwaysStartsSomeIshSheCantFinish
She didn’t say anything bad about her son she said something about her parenting skills and still didn’t course for any racial comments to be said and I don’t watch Zeus anyway all these grow woman fighting is not cool for me kids think that how they have to live there lives so if you feel spice shouldn’t said anything about her son how you good with grown people on a show and all they do is fight they not teaching the kids nothing that why our kids have to go to school and defend themselves because kids think this what life is about .so I don’t care if she on Zeus or not it not for me
Congrats Erica! Feed your babies mama!
This is scrapping the bottom of the barrel for Plummer.
Black women are your main supporters and we do not was to see her on ANY PART of anything we support. I will be cancelling my subscription. You services are no longer wanted.
Speak on my kids and at that point anything goes… Calling her monkey would have been the least of her worries. And I’m a beautiful black woman… but I said what I said.
everyone needs to watch the show again she said blue monkey not black monkey I don’t like the girl but what wrong is wrong I’m puerto rican and the same ones on the show called white people out there name like white bi*ch they didn’t get fired if u going to fire one for saying blue monkey then need to rewatch all the episodes and everyone that said Anything that has to do with racism needs to be fired IJS
