Hazel-E On Erica Mena's Love & Hip Hop 'Monkey' Controversy

Back in 2017, Hazel-E let her Twitter fingers get the best of her as she referred to Black women as "monkeys." Now, fast forward a few years later and Erica Mena is currently on the receiving end of that conversation. We asked Hazel what she thinks of the situation and she didn't hold back! Check out the full interview NOW, right here on our Youtube channel.

I respect Hazel for taking accountability for her mistake. She owned up to it.

[ladythedawnpoet]

Hazel has GROWNNN‼️‼️IM SO PROUD OF HER And this was soooo spot on‼️🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[generationzmedia]

And the correction that it was colorism for her, not racism, I know she's a little more educated now.

[Gloria-drjo]

"colorism within the Black community has been a serious emotional and psychological battle.
We, as a black community, we have to do better.

[cocoadollcustoms]

“ it wasn’t racism it was colorism “ respect to her for recognizing EXACTLY what she did wrong and standing in it

[Tasheaj]

I got so tired of people calling Erica a colorist…I was like she is not black that B is racist!! So thank you Hazel for making that difference

[latoyanicole]

Now this one thing I can agree with hazel on

[Sarahslater]

If you saw Hazel’s episode on fix my life, you know how remorseful she was when she realized her mistake. Erica has no remorse. Not just for the Spice situation, but for every offense she’s committed against another woman.

I am not a Hazel E fan but this here I can totally agree on!!

[islandbeauty]

[sisiscastle]

Damn Hazel, I was not ready for you to give it up like that sis. Bravo. We respect a self aware sistah who takes

[HeauxTalesTarot]

I never thought I would say this but hazel definitely ate that and I loved her transparency

[kimbates]

She hit it right on the nail! That is real growth.

[emonbooker]

I agree with hazel just be a grown woman about it and take responsibility for your own actions... Don't downplay or justify it, you made your bed now you gotta sleep in it .

[Mo-ugzn]

I just clapped so loud!!!! Say that ish Hazel E!!!

[BreezyBeKind]

Never thought I’d say it, but I completely agree with everything Hazel is saying

[lifewiththebuddafly]

She said "yall mad cause yall can't pass a brown paper bag test" hazel was WELL aware when she was saying what she was saying

[keishawnlight]

THE GROWTH! Hazels been through a lot of social media backlash some provoked and others not but i’m glad she’s more educated, speaking with so much sense, and seem more calm. ! I LOVE WHEN PPL BECOME ENLIGHTENED.

[quanyaisiaferguson]

It’s definitely refreshing to see people giving hazel her props right here because she definitely spoke facts!

[darlynejean-noel]

Yes Hazel! I love that she is growing and understands the difference. Knowing accountability, in the past her ignorance bothered me. Now she comprehends her mistakes and accountability is beautiful. BIG UPS SHE MEANS WHAT SHE SAYS
