Ratchet Recap: Erica Mena’s “Both Ways” Delivers Chaos, Joseline Energy—And a Message?

Let me be honest—when I first saw the trailer for Both Ways, Erica Mena’s new bisexual love show on Zeus, I said, “This is about to be another hot mess.” And it is. But it’s also… kinda addictive.

If you haven’t tuned in yet, the concept is simple but chaotic: men and women compete for Erica’s attention while she navigates her own emotional landmines, camera-ready drama, and an occasional self-awareness that lowkey caught me off guard.

Case in point: on a recent episode, she was spotted wearing a bold black-and-white “Free Palestine” shirt. And I had to pause the screen like—wait, is Erica Mena woke now?

It’s one thing to wear the shirt, another thing to know what it means. And given how politicized and dangerous that message is in 2025, especially for celebrities in messy spaces—it actually hit.

And just when the energy couldn’t get any more chaotic or iconic, Joseline Hernandez—yes, The Puerto Rican Princess herself—rolled through to help Erica pick a mate. Because of course she did.

Joseline mentoring anyone in love is pure comedy, but seeing her offer relationship advice while Erica rocks political fashion? That’s the kind of chaotic alignment that only Zeus can deliver.

Still, the shirt sparked a convo: is Erica just performative, or is there more going on beneath the glam, gossip, and guest stars?

Either way, Both Ways gave us something to think about—whether we wanted to or not.
