Erica Mena Takes Credit for Violent Reality Shows + Takes Shots at ‘Love and Hip Hop’

Former “Love and Hip Hop New York” star Erica Mena has made it clear in the past that she wasn’t happy with some things that went down behind the sceneswhile she was on the hit reality show, and now she’s taking shots in a recent interview. When it comes to VH1 reality shows and violence, Erica Mena seems to feel like she started the trend.

“I think I set the tone for the whole throwing the glass thing.

“First of all, the fighting didn’t start until I walked in the building. Then everybody wanted to fight. Even down to the ‘Basketball Wives.’ I set the tone of throwing sh*t, next thing you know b*tches getting slapped then jumping on tables.

“Like damn! There’s a little bit of Erica in everybody.”

When asked if the current “Love and Hip Hop” franchise is scripted, Erica says:

“What I will say is the era where I came in, the Emily B, the Chrissy…the first ‘Love and Hip Hop’ phase…see that was dope. But now where they’re going, it feels like…I can’t…like everyone wants to be a rapper. Everybody wants to do a song. Everybody wants to be a lesbian now.

“It’s just like my little storylines have been recycled. I should have just trademarked all of them.

“Even down to people being managers. It’s like everybody wants to be the same sh*t. It’s the same storyline being written, just with different characters.”
