Erica Mena Says She's Been Thriving Without 'Love & Hip Hop' and Safaree
Erica Mena More Movies, Less 'Love & Hip Hop' And My Kids & I WINNING Without Safaree
Erica Mena hasn't lost her ability to make a headline despite not being associated with "Love & Hip Hop," and she's not looking to change things ... her stage lights have simply gotten brighter!!!
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Erica this week at the premiere of her upcoming Chris Stokes-directed thriller "Run," in which she costars opposite Annie Ngosi Ilonzeh, Marques Houston, and Drew Sidora ... and she couldn't be happier.
Erica didn't return to 'L&HH' after clashing with dancehall star Spice, but Erica tells us she doubts she officially got banned ... more like, scapegoated.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Nonetheless, her acting chops have been passed down through the family ... after "Run"s run, she will be starring in the next installment of her "Stepmother" franchise with her 5-year-old daughter she shares with Safaree.
That's where the family affair draws the line -- Erica assures us she and the kids are doing just fine without Safaree's presence bogging them down ... but it's not like he's been kicking up dust online, either.
