Erica Mena broke her silence following her departure from the “Love & Hip Hop” series three weeks ago.

The reality star's departure was revealed following a heated altercation with Spice, during which she referred to her co-star as a “blue monkey.” In her statement to TMZ, Mena expressed her remorse and maintained that her comment was never intended to be racially insensitive.

“I deeply regret my insensitive comment and want to humbly apologize to anybody I hurt or offended by my thoughtlessness. My choice of words was wrong, and I take full responsibility for what I said,” the 35-year-old said.

The former “video vixen” shared that she was “committed to listening to the voices of those affected and will work toward making amends.”

During the Aug. 29th episode, Mena angrily flipped the table the two were seated at and lunged at the dancehall artist. They were eventually separated by producers but continued to exchange blows.

Spice mentioned that her 16-year-old son King, whom she shares with ex, Raul Conde, “hates” her, and in response, Mena quickly fired back, “You monkey, you fucking blue monkey!” Earlier in the episode, Mena said that the musician, who often has blue hair, “should have died.” The insults quickly garnered her backlash from viewers on social media.

“As a woman of color and the mother of two black children, I want to make it clear that my use of that word was not in any way racially driven,” Mena continued. “That said, I do understand the gravity of what I said and want to use my platform to promote inclusivity and equality.”

Mena has reportedly had a history of calling her dark-skinned castmates monkeys. Forbes reported that the model was in a similar situation in 2015 when she called her former “Love & Hip Hop: New York” costar Jhonni Blaze and several promoters “Black monkeys.”
