From TMZ:
It all went down at a fancy party inside a nail salon in Manhattan … when Erica Mena got into a heated discussion with a blonde lady named Tiffany.
Multiple people who were at the party tell us the two were squabbling over a man … and Tiffany implied that she had hooked up with Erica’s BF in the past.
We’re told Erica DECKED Tiffany … and all hell broke loose.
People rushed in to break up the girls … but both women made it clear — THEY WANTED TO FIGHT.
At one point, a man steps in to restrain Erica … and she threatens to slap him in the face unless he got out of her way. She even gives the dude a pretty nasty forearm to the body.
But just when she thinks she’s safe, Erica is BLINDSIDED by Tiffany … who somehow crept up from the side, and pounced on her prey like a ferocious ocelot (look it up, they’re awesome).
Tamar Braxton & Vincent Herbert Visit 106 & Park
Tamar Braxton and Vincent Herbert visited 106 & Park recently (Tamar performed her single ‘Love & War‘), and while there gave some interesting tips for Valentine’s Day:
This is a day that you should specifically show the people you love extra special attention, it’s so important. You don’t necessarily have to shop for gifts. You can write letters which is very romantic and you can get points for that. She loves letters, she loves things from the heart. Diamonds are great, don’t get me wrong, they work, but if it’s not like that for you –which I get because it hasn’t always been this situation in my life–writing letters, telling someone how you feel from the heart. Making dinner, us girls like when you really put forth the effort.
The things that really matter to us women honestly, are things that come from the heart so I think that if you really poured your heart out in a letter, that’s a pointer guys.
