VH1’s most popular show “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” returns Monday for its eighth season with some major departures.
Three main cast members are gone: perpetually troubled (and currently jailed)
Tommie Lee, Jessica Dime and one-and-done
Erica Mena, who only stuck around for a single season.
Two people have been promoted to the main cast to take their place:
Yung Joc, who has been around since season one, and
Spice, who joined as a guest season six and became a recurring member last season.
Three original cast members -
Rasheeda Frost, Karlie Redd and
Mimi Faust - have received top billing since 2012.
Stevie J, who is another O.G., has been in the main credits since season five.
