Erica Mena and Spice’s Racial Slur Row Escalates as Spice Fires Back at Apology
A highly publicized feud between American reality TV star Erica Mena and Jamaican Dancehall icon Spice has taken a new turn, with Spice calling out Mena’s recent apology as “phony.”
As a refresher, the controversy began last year when Mena used a racial slur to describe Spice on an episode of VH1’s “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.” The remark sparked widespread backlash, leading to Mena’s firing from the show.
In a statement to TMZ, Mena apologized for her actions, claiming she was disappointed in herself for letting down women of color. However, Spice has been unimpressed by Mena’s apology, dubbing it “phony” and accusing Mena of taking on a “victim mentality” to garner sympathy.
In a post on The Shade Room, Spice wrote, “Take me out of the equation since you still have a Victim mentality in our situation… Remember you are a repeated offender. You have no remorse for a culture that put millions of [dollars] in your pocket. You could have said anything but you chose to disrespect a whole Nation.”
Spice also claimed that Mena’s comment was not the first time she had made a racially charged remark, but it was the first time her remark was caught on camera. “You couldn’t sit at my table because I been knew you think you’re better than dark skin girls,” Spice declared. “I heard how you spoke about me behind my back, you just got caught on camera that day.”
The feud has sparked a heated debate about racial tolerance and accountability, with many fans siding with Spice’s strong rebuke of Mena’s apology. The drama is sure to continue, as both parties continue to air their grievances on social media.
