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.”

From there she admitted that the topic is “affecting” her and thanked fans for their continued support. When The Neighborhood Talk shared her video on Instagram, fans had mixed responses. “Girl.

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

It’s not the first time that Mena has commented on the conflict between Israel and Palestine. On Saturday, she took her support to Twitter: “My heart hurts so much for all these innocent children, babies, women and the elderly. An actual genocide is happening right now and so many are quiet about it. Embarrassed our country is the funding behind it.” Be on the lookout for further updates on the conflict on HotNewHipHop.
