Erica Campbell says she isn’t ready to reveal
whether she’ll be replacing her sister, Tina, in
their gospel music group Mary Mary, but fans
will soon find out
In a new season of their hit WE tv reality
television show “Mary Mary,” fans will witness
the group’s producer and Erica’s husband,
Warryn Campbell, threatening to replace Tina.
After pursuing solo music efforts for the past
two years, the sisters are speaking about coming back together to meet contractual
obligations for their original group.
When Hip Hollywood questioned Erica about
replacing Tina, the former revealed why her
husband had to give her sister an ultimatum.
“We were trying so hard to get her to do it and
she’s just like, ‘in a moment, in a minute,’ and I
was like ‘it’s so present right now,” Erica told Hip Hollywood earlier this week.
Still, she didn’t want to give away too much
about what happens this season, and
encouraged fans to stay tuned to find out if
Tina would remain in the group.
The former Mary Mary group manager Mitchell
Solarek also arrives on the scene in a trailer for
the upcoming series, and pitches one of his
clients to replace Tina in the award-winning
music duo.
That client happens to be 18-year-old singer
and former contestant on “The Voice,” Koryn
Hawthorne.
While Tina tells her sister that the financial
repercussions for not giving Sony their
promised album would be Warryn’s problem,
she refused to believe that there would be
another version of the group without her.
“There’s never going to be another Mary Mary,”
Tina said in a trailer for the show.
Last year, Tina told JET magazine that she
refused to engage in drama on the series this
season.
“I’m contractually committed, yet I want to
reflect my God even with these executives and
behind the scenes people,” Campbell told JET magazine. “I’m not compromising my faith by no stretch of the imagination.”
While Tina is the more outspoken of the sisters,
she admits that this season was harder for her
to film because of her decision to release
negativity in her life.
“I’m not what TV likes. TV likes drama and I
have a very big personality, [and] I think TV
likes that kind of person, but, they’re looking
for fear and problems,” Tina added. “I ain’t that. So it’s challenging for me at times. They’ve
got to be creative when they’re taping my life
and things.”
Season five of “Mary Mary” airs at 9 p.m. ET,
March 3 on WE tv.
