Erica Mena Apologizes for Calling Spice a Monkey


Over the weekend the ALL BLK network followed VH1 in firing Erica Mena for calling her Love and Hip Hop Atlanta cast-mate, Spice, a monkey [click here if you missed that].

Now Erica has issued an apology...

From TMZ
The ex-'Love & Hip Hop' star -- who was booted from the show for hurling the word -- tells TMZ ... "I deeply regret my insensitive comment and want to humbly apologize to anybody I hurt or offended by my thoughtlessness. My choice of words was wrong, and I take full responsibility for what I said."
She adds, "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."
Erica ends with this ... "That said, I do understand the gravity of what I said and want to use my platform to promote inclusivity and equality."
Worth noting, Erica identifies as an Afro-Latina -- with Dominican and Puerto Rican roots.

She better not vacation in Jamaica for years.

This is what happens when you think your better than, you just got a huge slice of humble pie. This is not her first time calling a black women a monkey so your fake apology is not accepted. See how far you can make it on Spanish tv.

Her Karma is gonna last a lifetime because she has children who will see this one day and will feel inferior wondering if she see them as monkeys too.

That was one lame apology. Didn't hear her acknowledge Spice or mention she was sorry for what she actually said. She only sounds like she's sorry it slipped out.

As soon as some self-hating black man gives her validation that apology will go right out of the window (not that she is sincere about it in first placeπŸ˜’).

@11:43 exactly! Was looking for this comment cause it's all about die down, rinse, and repeat. These fools will keep the cycle going and the current climate of self hating black men will push things to the edge.

As I was reading her comment, I was just waiting for her to say it wasn't dealing with race...and there she said it.

It's always comical, these tragic self hating types who think they are white, because they got some yt blood in their bloodline, when in reality she looks like a black woman. You have been cancelled Begone!!! Also Jamaican's will lay down some Obeah work and f*ck your entire life up.

I'm beginning to hate the phrase "identifies as..." Either you are or you aren't!

She also called a Black man named MC Shakie, a monkey and a gorilla. This is how she feels about Black people and those that are defending her should be cancelled too!

Funny thing about racists, they are not truly sorry until it affects their wallet.πŸ’…πŸ½ The Hispanic networks not messing with Erica so she truly just cancelled herself and her way of making money off of black people. We all know Safari making just enough to pretend flex so if she’s depending on him she’s truly screwed.
