Erica Mena is standing up for herself after being excluded from “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta’s” roundtable on racism and colorism. The “Love and Hip Hop” alum was removed from the show after hurling an inflammatory comment at Spice, which was caught on camera during this season's filming. MTV is airing ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta: Racism, Colorism, and the Uncomfortable Truth’ after the season 11 finale.
Mena has made her thoughts known and is questioning why the show didn’t invite her to take part in the roundtable. In an Instagram statement, she pointed out that others have made similar comments, yet she is the only one being excluded. She argues that the show only fired her after they aired her exchange and received backlash from viewers. Mena’s rep Steve Honig also released a statement, questioning why the network didn’t invite her to participate in the discussion.
“Desperate to save face but true and only reason a statement was even made by the network was because of the backlash,” said Mena. Honig echoed her sentiment, telling Radar Online, “It is very disappointing Erica was not included in the discussion about the incident that occurred while filming the show and that the network chose to silence her voice.”
Mena believes that the show continued filming with her for seven months before they decided to cut her. She wonders why, if they are using her to “save face”, why wouldn’t they have invited her to the roundtable? Her rep’s statement further pointed out the irony in the network continuing to film with Mena, even after the incident occurred.
