Erica Mena Fires Back Following Arrest And Alleged Domestic Dispute with Her Boyfriend

“Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Erica Mena opened up on Monday about her recent run-in with cops and her alleged domestic incident with her boyfriend, rapper Clifford Dixon.

Mena was recently behind bars for marijuana possession after the cops were called for a domestic dispute complaint. She and her boyfriend Dixon reportedly got into a heated argument and he was arrested on charges of trespassing. Witnesses claimed the rapper kicked in Mena’s bedroom door. However, police officials said there were no visible injuries on either party.

The 30-year-old model took to Twitter on Oct. 15 to address her recent arrest and the alleged quarrel with Dixon.

“I honestly appreciate all the love and all support from those who care about my wellbeing,” Mena tweeted. “At this time I have all of my family and friends by my side –Although it’s no longer a private situation – all I’m asking for is for the media to stop fabricating lies just to make a story more interesting. I would also like any females from his past to stop trying to involve themselves by making up lies and trying to be contacted by me. The last thing I want is to talk to a little girl about her past involvement with anyone. With that being said – I’m absolutely going to get through this. God makes no mistakes, Love Mena.”

Fans expressed their opinions regarding the incident moments before Mena deleted her chain of tweets.

“No one is perfect people should allow the judgement like they don’t have their own problems. Just support and send love and prayers. Quit bashing someone.”

“She’s such a menace. She needs to get her soul cleansed or something bc she’s not right within herself.”

“Girl go to counseling. 🗣 you gotta do better with these men but it starts from within.”

Mena also shared a tweet about self-love which was seemingly about her current relationship status with Dixon.

“Only self-love and good decisions will rescue you ❤️,” she wrote.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
