Erica Mena broke down into tears while discussing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine on Instagram Live, earlier this week. The post comes after Mena was fired from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta for using a racist slur during an argument with Spice, earlier this year.
"I love y'all, I appreciate y'all. I just want to clarify that because I really don't want anyone to feel any type of way towards me," she prefaced her comments, "I just really cannot be quiet knowing this is going on. This is literally a genocide in 2023. And us as Americans, we should do our part. We live in a free country, let's be free to do what's right for humanity, not religion, not land, not government, not politics, humanity."

Another wrote: "Erica pleaseeeeeeee this ain’t how you come back, hang it up and try again." Check out Mena's full post below.
