Erica Mena is opening up about her affair with DJ Envy with media host Carlos King.
Chile after the week Envy has had, we are sure this is the last thing he needs rehashed.
…But here we are!
According to COMPLEX the during the interview the former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star revealed she was unaware of DJ Envy’s marital status until she received a phone call from his wife, Gia Casey.
“That came out when I got on Love & Hip Hop, and we had just broken up because the wife found out, which I was totally oblivious to. I knew about the kids, mind you. I have a kid, but I have a baby daddy, and it’s more common where we come from to have kids, but you’re not married; you just got a baby mama,” said Mena.
I knew about the kids, and it was always told to me [that she was] his kid’s mother, never wife. And I didn’t get that realization until I got a phone call from the wife.”
DJ Envy allegedly portrayed himself as single and showered Erica with gifts and attention, which left her in the dark.
“I’m over here—I have never been in this situation. Here’s this man that’s been doting over me, showering me, you know? I’m starting to fall for him, I spent a lot of time with him. This man flew me and all my friends to Miami; we were living our best lives up and down New York City, holding hands. We were very public,” Mena added.
After Casey discovered the affair, communication between Mena and DJ Envy abruptly stopped.
However, he publicly blamed her for the affair on The Breakfast Club, which left Mena perplexed since she wasn’t aware of his marriage.
In early 2013, the radio DJ admitted to his Breakfast Club listeners that he had an affair and called Casey to apologize publicly on the air.
“A couple of days later, I’m getting blown up. ‘Envy’s on-air dogging you out.’ [He said] something to the effect of how he cheated with someone that was beneath him, that whole stuff. So when that happened, I was like: okay. So this is what he’s doing? He’s trying to save half of everything.’ I get it. But why run me through the mud when you knew I didn’t know?”

In 2018, years after the alleged affair, Gia Casey accused Erica of consistently bringing up her name.
Sliding into the comment section on The Shade Room, Casey wrote, “Being unbothered doesn’t mean that I live under a rock… 10 years have passed and I have NEVER mentioned this girls name, yet she repeatedly, constantly and consistently mentions mine… You’ve got to ask yourself why.”

Nah DJ Envy really a POS. Erica Mena not an angel and Envy probably her karma but he’s diabolical for having his side chick in his house with the kids in there

Envy is selfish and is out for HIMSELF! He had a whole affair with Erica Mena and banned her from TBC and left her with the backlash, he called Gunplay’s gofundme he made for his daughter’s surgery a scam, and now he invested in a Ponzi scheme and left the other man alone. https://t.co/Qvh8QgDhsH

My biggest take away from this Eric Mena and Carlos King interview is that she's not authentic and she wants sympathy. Not sure if I'll be able to stomach part 2. #CarlosKing #EricaMena #LoveandHipHop

If Erica Mena don’t stop it, you don’t even have to know who DJ Envy is to know he was a married man. Once click on the gram and all the info was there.
