"Love and Hip Hop New York" returns to VH1 on Dec. 15 and from the drama that fans watched go down on social media before the premiere, there are more than enough reasons for them to tune in.

EXCLUSIVE: Rich Dollaz Speaks on Erica Mena's Engagement, "If It's Real, God Bless"

One of the main reasons comes with the crazy life of Erica Mena, who in the beginning of the season was dating girlfriend Cyn Santana, and by the end of the season, was in a full-blown committed relationship to rapper and host, Bow Wow. In our new exclusive interview, we got to the bottom of how it all went down from Mena, herself.

"After everything that transpired between me and Cyn, I kinda lost hope a little bit in the relationship thing, period," Mena explained. "I lost every bit of faith and all of the sudden this man comes... I was like 'F love!' and then I was like, 'wait a minute, no, this is perfect!"

Cyn Santana Tells Her Side in Our New Exclusive: "I Don't Regret Anything"

Because of the seemingly quick transition from Santana to Bow Wow, many fans have attacked their relationship on social media. Erica says, "You just have to be built for it," and does her best not to let it get to her, though she and Bow often respond.

"I think these people that comment are just so miserable in their lives... Sometimes you have to speak up," she said. 

Watch the full interview, where she discusses her new line, her relationship with Bow Wow, learning to drive a Rolls Royce and more, below:
