Share and Follow

A controversial new reality show with bisexual contestants, sex scenes and fist fights is drawing backlash online.

Two Ways With Erica Mena follows the former Love & Hip-Hop star, 37, as she searches for love.

The Zeus Network series features a diverse cast of men, women, and transgender contestants, all vying for their happily ever after with the mom-of-three.

An extended trailer promises plenty of outrageous moments, from graphic sexual content to all out violence.

In one scene, the contestants perform an explicit act on a sex toy using whipped cream in a bid to impress Mena.

One male contestant even hands Mena a rubber replica of his penis – leaving her in shock.

Other X-rated challenges include stripping on a pole and riding a mechanical bull.

Mena is also seen passionately kissing and licking various contestants, both male and female, throughout the trailer. 

In addition to all the jaw-dropping sex scenes, the series features a number of violent physical brawls. 

One fight takes place between a transgender woman and a male contestant, after the trans woman claims that he secretly tried to kiss her off camera. 

There’s a number of other extreme physical altercations in the trailer, including one huge brawl between multiple contestants that requires several security guards to intervene.

The series has already divided viewers, with some vowing not to tune in.

‘A grown a** woman with two kids by the way. She needs help and therapy,’ one person said of Mena.

‘I’m convinced that in these Zeus contracts, you have to fight lol,’ wrote another.

A third wrote, ‘They just got a bunch of randoms and said, here’s check to fight over Erica Mena!’ 

‘Too much negativity. I hope the algorithm removes this mess from my timeline. I can’t watch this,’ added a fourth. 

Mena first shot to fame on the Love & Hip-Hop franchise in 2011.

She became one of the show’s breakout stars and went on to land spots in VH1’s Scared Famous and Hip-Hop Squares, as well as a number of acting roles.

Mena, who is of Dominican and Puerto Rican ancestry, was fired from Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta in 2023 after she called co-star Spice, who is Jamaican, a ‘blue monkey.’ 

The popular VH1 series made her firing official on social media with the following statement: ‘The Love & Hip-Hop franchise has never shied away from hard conversations in our community.

‘Working hand-in-hand with our partners, viewers will see the impact of Erica Mena’s remarks play out in the final three episodes of the season.’

The statement concluded with, ‘Effective immediately, she will not appear in the next season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.’ 

The news followed viewer backlash against the reality television star after she referred to Spice as a ‘monkey’ during a dramatic argument, in which Spice attacked Mena’s parenting and brought up her son.

She later apologized for the incident by releasing a public statement to TMZ.

‘I deeply regret my insensitive comment and want to humbly apologize to anybody I hurt or offended by my thoughtlessness,’ she said at the time. 

She added, ‘My choice of words was wrong.’

Erica concluded her statement of apology by declaring, ‘I take full responsibility for what I said.’
