Is Erica Mena Being Messy Or Is Bow Wow Really An Abuser?

Now that their relationship is down the toilet, Erica Mena has got to say about Bow Wow.
Mena is now telling the world that Bow Wow (real name: Shad Moss) is an “abuser.”

Erica left the reality show using a private interview that was made public, where she lit- erally bashed every cast mem- ber on the show. Perhaps her newest revelation is a way to taint Bow Wow....they say a ‘woman scorned’ is dangerous.
