These ‘Love and Hip Hop’ cast mates aren’t just shaking the table on television… they’re tussling in real life to.
On Friday (August 25), what was intended to be a normal night in Atlanta for Erica Mena took a turn. According to WSBTV, the Love & Hip-Hop cast member was arrested at the Lucca Lounge on Pharr Road just before midnight. She and two others – Bambi Benson and Rodney Shaw (best known as ZellSwag) – were taken into police custody at the time, along with Kareem Cadet… officers have yet to reveal what led up to the fight.
The group was taken to the Fulton County Jail. Reports reveal that all four are facing charges of willful obstruction of a law officer. In addition to that, both Mena and Zell received simple battery with the former also facing simple battery against a police officer. Social media is having a field day speculating about what might have caused the drama. Atlanta PD says they got a call to respond to the Lucca Lounge Friday over a dispute between some patrons and the security guards … and when they arrived, the officers claim all hell broke loose as they tried deescalating the situation. APD claims the group became combative and that much seems to be clear in the video footage released by TMZ.
“They are all too d**n old to be fighting like WTH? 👀 I know SANTANA somewhere punching 🥊 the air yelling, ‘Free my manzzzzz,’” one user joked of the “Booty” rapper’s likely reaction to finding out about his beau’s arrest. “The fact Bambi and Erica wanted to be mean girls and now the baby daddies can use this in court,” another person pointed out. “I’m just confused as to where did Zell come from? How did he get into this??😂☕️🐸?”
Usually, when Erica Mena’s name is in the headlines for unflattering reasons, it has to do with Safaree. That might not have been the case this time around, but we’ll keep you posted as more details surface on what led to this little battle royal. As of this writing … Erica, Bambi and Zellswag are all still in custody. Thoughts?
