Mona Scott-Young Sad About Firing Yung Berg: 'LHHH' Creator Says, 'He Was Great. I Will Miss Him'; As For Benzino, Mona Says, 'I Wish Him The Best' — No Sign Of Them Being Allowed To Return [VIDEO]
A couple weeks ago, MStars News learned that Yung Berg was being fired from the hit VH1 show Love & Hip Hop Hollywood after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend Masika Kalysha.
Now the reality show's executive producer, Mona Scott-Young, has revealed that she was sad and upset about letting Berg go.
MStars News previously revealed that Berg was let go in a VH1 statement that read:
"Based on the severity of the allegations against Yung Berg, VH1 is terminating its relationship with him in connection with Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, effective immediately."
After finally letting violent cast members go, including Benzino from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, Mona Scott-Young says the network and production team's decision to let Berg go was a bit sad.
"Listen, like I said, I know that emotions get the best of them. I was not there so I can't speak to exactly what led to that. I know that he does feel badly that it did happen," Mona said in an interview with Vlad TV.
"Unfortunately, the network decided that was an absolute position that they had to take," she continued. "Berg is such a talented artist and I wish him all the best. I hope that the time that he spent on the franchise he's managed to leverage it and that it serves him. He was great. I will miss him ... I loved his personality. I loved his sense of humor. I think he was a great addition to the show."
As for letting Althea and Benzino go, Scott-Young said:
"I really don't spend that much time living out my business relationships on social media," she said, adding, "Benzino and Althea are very much aware of what transpired, and I wish them nothing but the best."
