‘Please Take That Wig Off’: Erica Mena’s Topless Thirst Trap Goes Left When Fans Come for Her Wig

Erica Mena‘s thirst trap went left when fans weren’t as concerned with her topless tatas as they were her blond lace front.

Dressed in blush-colored pants and no top, with her hand coyly placed to cover her goodies, the reality TV star’s thirst trap wasn’t as well received by her followers as she probably imagined it would be. Instead of a steady stream of compliments on her appearance, they were distracted by her blond bob.

Mena’s fans weren’t feeling the look and had no problems letting her know that they prefer her natural color to the lighter look.

“Please take that wig off ‼️ u look so much better without it 🙄,” commented a follower.

“That wig gotta go,” a second agreed.

“You look like a white woman with that hair 😣,” cracked a third.

“I dont like the brows or wig but I love her 😍😍,” wrote a fourth.

“👎🏽 this blonde,” said a fifth. “Your natural is 1 trillion percent better.”

“I know you are feeling this blonde bombshell look but I cant wait for you to go dark again! @iamerica_mena,” shared a sixth.

The reality TV and OnlyFans star, who built her career on her sex appeal, addressed rumors that she and her husband Safaree Samuels were forced to create a page on the adult entertainment subscription service due to lack of coin coming in from their “Love & Hip Hop” checks.

“Honey, if the Love & Hip Hop checks dried up I would have been with [Kingdom Reign Entertainment CEO and reality TV producer] Carlos King by now! They’re not letting my ass go anytime soon. Okay! Let’s talk that s**t. They are not letting us go! They are not letting us go!”

“Honestly, we did the OnlyFans because it was something fun and we get a chance to kind of be over the top sexy and kind of do what we want and not get judged for it. And even if you judge me, you gotta pay me for it,” she explained.

Still independent.

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.
