ENTITY reports 5 facts about Erica Dixon.

In every reality show, there needs to be one woman who always brings the heat. On “Love & Hip Hop,” that one woman was Erica Dixon.

Ex-boyfriend rapper Lil Scrappy may have been the star on the stage, but when it came to the show, his on-again-off-again girlfriend dominated.

Here are five facts about the woman who made “Love & Hip Hop” that much juicier.

If you thought that Erica Dixon had an easy life just because she became Lil Scrappy’s main squeeze, you are definitely wrong. Erica Dixon was born to a mother who struggled with substance abuse. Because of this, Dixon had to move with her six brothers and three sisters to her Uncle and Aunt’s home.

In her biography on her website, Dixon talked a bit about her childhood.

“As revealed on the show, my mother was addicted to drugs, so I didn’t have the typical childhood. It wasn’t until I was relocated to family in Hempstead, NY (at the age of 6) that I got a glimpse of what some would consider a normal childhood,” she said.

And to share this story, she created a character named Bell. “The easiest way to share my story is through Bell, a character I created who is the voice of so many children caught up in the system, living with parents addicted to drugs and alcohol, fearful that people will tease them about their clothes, wondering where their next meal will come from, where they’ll live or if they’ll live to see tomorrow,” she wrote. “That was me.”

2 She has her own children’s book series.

You guessed it – it has to do with the character Bell.

Dixon created a book series entitled “Introducing Southern Bell.” These books are supposed to mirror her real-life childhood and the struggles she faced concerning her mother.

“Bell is basically me. It’s basically my story told through her,” she told Rolling Out.

Dixon was ecstatic to release her book. She even posted on Instagram, saying:

“Books are in and ready to go out!!! I just want to thank God for his blessings with this book. The devil comes in all forms but did not and will not prevail!!! #whatGodhasformeisforme #blessed#southernbellseries”

Overall, she hopes that her books can help other children who went through the same challenges as her.

“One of the most important things I want children to know is their parent(s) addiction is not their fault,” she wrote on her website. “They didn’t cause it and they can’t control or cure it. Through my own life and the voice of Bell, I want to inspire children living through their own realities and let them know that they’re not alone.  They can overcome any obstacles, big or small!”

If you’re interested or know someone who could use this, Dixon’s books are available on www.southernbellseries.com.
