Exclusive: Here’s What Happened When Security Asked Erica Mena To Move At The BET Awards

(Photo by Greg Doherty/Getty Images) Reality Star Erica Mena Was Asked To Move Because She Was Sitting In Execs Seats Here’s a BOSSIP exclusive from the BET Awards. Anyone who’s ever been to the BET Awards knows there can be a lot of moving around throughout the show and shuffling to make sure that the audience is looking right for the cameras. Last night, that caused a bit of embarrassment for at least one reality star in the audience who was asked to move because she and her date were occupying the seats of a pair of high ranking music industry execs — who had been backstage but returned to watch their artist grace the stage! BOSSIP sources in the building say the chairman and president of black music for Atlantic Records were startled to find Erica Mena and Cliff Dixon in their seats after they returned from visiting an artist backstage. Our source says Mena refused to move when the execs returned and security had to be called! “The people who the seats belonged to came back, but Erica kept saying she wasn’t getting up because BET had put her there,” an eyewitness told BOSSIP exclusively. “When security came they asked them to produce their tickets and they couldn’t, she caused a huge scene in the audience and was basically flipping out over it.” “If you don’t have tickets then you are technically a seat filler and required to move when the real ticket holders show up,” the BOSSIP source added. If you watch Erica’s IG story you can see her sitting within the first few rows in her early videos, while later videos are clearly shot from a seat further from the stage. All we can say is, good thing Erica didn’t have a drink with her. She’s been known to get pretty aggressive during some of her past “Love & Hip-Hop” appearances. How embarrassing! Hit the flip for some of Erica’s better BET weekend moments

#OscarsSoWhite: Academy Invites 928 New Members In An Attempt To Bolster Diversity

Image via Leon Bennett/Getty Images for Essence/Kevin Winter/Getty Images/ David M. Benett/Dave Benett/WireImage Academy Invites 928 New Members For 2018 We’re almost three years removed from the viral phenomenon known as #OscarsSoWhite . In its wake, there has been a flood of critically acclaimed Black content being produced for the big screen and 2017 saw some prominent people of color being awarded golden statues. In what appears to be an effort to continue this trend, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has offered memberships to 928 people according to The Hollywood Reporter . That number is up significantly from the 774 membership offers that were issued in 2017. Names like 14-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis and Get Out -turned- Black Panther star Daniel Kaluuya. Also, Tiffany Haddish, Trevante Rhodes, and veteran Wendell Pierce were extended invites to join the club. Here’s what these new potential members mean in regards to the demographic breakdown of voters: Forty-nine percent of the class of 2018 are female, and, should all accept membership, that will bring overall percentage of women in the Academy to 31 percent. Thirty-eight percent of the new invitees are people of color, which, should they all accept, would bring their overall percentage of the Academy to 16 percent. 16 percent is still embarrassingly low, but at least we’re making some progress, right? Hopefully folks like Dave Chappelle, Mindy Kaling, George Lopez accept their offers and can help bring about the change that we want to see in award shows going forward.
