Moniece Slaughter wants out of her Love & Hip Hop Hollywood contract, and she’s begging Mona Scott Young’s team to make it happen ASAP.
Moniece took to social media recently to ask her LHHH bosses to relieve her of her reality show duties.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, Moniece thanked the LHHH team for providing her with the opportunity to “financially provide for myself and my son,” but she feels like it’s time for her to move on.
Moniece said she’s tried to get out of her contract in the past, but was “told no to a clean release.” And after shopping around for other reality TV opportunities and not being able to find any other shows to be a part of, she said she returned “to ensure my son was taken care of.”
While shooting Season 5, Moniece said she had a “complete mental breakdown” and chose to admit herself to outpatient therapy and put herself on medication.
“But today, I’m in a place where I absolutely can not take any more. For any reason. I’m miserable,” she wrote. “I have completely run out of steam. I have no more to give to this franchise. It’s sucked the life out of me. My depression. My anxiety. My sleep deprivation. My weight loss… are at an all-time high. And with a slightly teary stare, I am begging you. Humbly. Desperately. Please. Moniece Slaughter wants out of her Love & Hip Hop Hollywood contract, and she’s begging Mona Scott Young’s team to make it happen. [Release] me. I don’t know how else to drive it home. But I feel like I’ve run out of options.”
She ended her message saying that she’s “thankful for 5 amazing seasons” but she’s ready to move on for her own sanity. “I neeeeeeeeddddd to be released,” she said.
Read her entire message to Mona and co. below:
As I have a moment to reflect. Peace and quiet. Just me, by myself. There are a few things I wanna get off my chest.
I want to thank @monascottyoung @stefateaser & @msrocc68 for this opportunity and platform. It’s allowed me to be able to financially provide for myself and my son. Secondly, I have to thank everybody that encourages me and supports me and has grown with me over the past 5 seasons. Since Season 1 until now.
There comes a time when we (adults), have to be honest with ourselves. A while ago. I arrived at a place where I realized continuing to come back (when I felt myself slipping emotionally/mentally) was doing me more harm than good.
But after being told no to a clean release, and not being able to pursue other avenues in television; I simply returned to ensure my son was taken care of. At the top of this season, when I was told no to a release, I had a complete mental breakdown. I chose intensive outpatient therapy and medication.
But today, I’m in a place where I absolutely can not take any more. For any reason. I’m miserable. I have completely run out of steam. I have no more to give to this franchise. It’s sucked the life out of me. My depression. My anxiety. My sleep deprivation. My weight loss. Are at an all-time high. And with a slightly teary stare, I am begging you. Humbly. Desperately. Please. Moniece Slaughter wants out of her Love & Hip Hop Hollywood contract, and she’s begging Mona Scott Young’s team to make it happen. [Release] me. I don’t know how else to drive it home. But I feel like I’ve run out of options.
Just release me. Let me go. And let’s be thankful for 5 amazing seasons. But I need off this ride. For my sanity. For my son. For myself. I neeeeeeeeddddd to be released. #withlove
