Social media blasted Brooke Valentine and RoccStar during episode 9 of “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” after Moniece Slaughter suffered from a panic attack.

During Monday night’s emotional episode of “LHHH,” Slaughter, Valentine and RoccStar teamed up for Slaughter’s studio session. A few moments later the “Blue” singer found herself in the midst of a health scare. VH1 producers tried to calm her down and called for paramedics.

During the intense moment fans noticed that RoccStar and Valentine weren’t taking Slaughter’s panic attack seriously.

“I bet you she don’t get in that paramedic van… She gone be like ‘wait hold on do I gotta pay for this?” RoccStar joked.

The California music producer then makes fun of how Slaughter was going to “hop off the floor.” Valentine then takes over Slaughter’s studio session and begins singing over her vocals. The two clearly weren’t buying into 31-year-old’s medical emergency.

“LHHH” viewers and fans dragged Valentine and RoccStar on social media and said the duo were being “extremely insensitive” to those who suffer from panic attacks.

“Idk why it was made into a joke. Panic attacks are real! Praying for Moniece,” one fan wrote.

Another person commented, “This made me cringe!! How could anyone with any type of self respect laugh at someone who is clearly sick and scared?? I am officially sick of Brooke ass and Roccstar is a whole hoe out here.”

“Wow they fu**in terrible. My best friend in the world has anxiety and it’s no joke. Don’t think I’m fuckin w Brooke after this & I never liked that cue ball to begin with 💯.”

“That is so slack!! I can’t believe Roccstar would be that rude.”

“Lost all respect for Brooke (never really liked her) and also thought rockstar was annoying af. This scene just proved everything.”

An Instagram user added, “You don’t have to like Moniece but where’s the sympathy? Like Brooke you’re a female we nurture. Panic attacks are real if you ever had one or even seen one.”

Valentine commented under OMFG Instagram‘s video and wrote, “Yoooo this editing is… nevermind smh.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
