Is Erica Mena one of the reasons you tune in to Love & Hip Hop New York each week? If so, then you will likely be sad to know that the reality star has confirmed that this will be her last season on the show. Life has radically changed for Mena in the last year, as she went from being a loose cannon living with girlfriend Cyn Santana to happily engaged to Shad Moss, aka Bow Wow. It is also looking like there is a good chance that these two will be getting a new reality spinoff show.
Mena recently did an interview on New York City's WPIX and teased that a new show was a possibility. Let's be real here: Mena needs to make that paper somehow, and it seems kind of unlikely that she would give up her spot on Love & Hip Hop without another gig lined up. Sources also seem to think that her wedding, currently planned for April, is likely to be filmed by VH1 as well.
While fans would probably tune in to watch a spinoff featuring Mena and Moss, she still might want to reconsider. It seems the majority of couples who open up their home to allow the cameras full access often end up regretting it. Perhaps it is a coincidence, but marriages that begin with a reality show seem to fail. Just ask Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, Carmen Electra or Travis Barker!
What do you think Mena's departure will mean for Love & Hip Hop? Is the show strong enough without her to keep going, or does it need the drama Mena brings to keep people tuning in? Will you tune in to the spinoff? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
