Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood is the third installment of the Love & Hip Hop reality television franchise. It premiered on September 15, 2014 on VH1 and chronicles the lives of several people in the Hollywood area, involved with hip hop music.
The series has a large ensemble cast, with leading cast members in the opening credits, and a sprawling supporting cast, who are credited as "additional cast" or "featured" in the show's end credits. These secondary cast members appear in green screen confessional segments and (for the most part) have the same amount of screen time and storyline focus as the show's main cast members. Over the years, several supporting cast members have been upgraded to lead.

Main cast members Original cast members
Teairra Marí (Seasons 1–5, supporting cast member in season 6), born Teairra Marquisha Thomas, is a R&B/pop singer and actress, originally from Detroit, Michigan. She rose to fame when Jay-Z signed her to Def Jam Recordings at the age of 16, alongside Rihanna. She was dropped from the label in 2006, after poor album sales, and she has struggled to revive her music career ever since. In 2011, Teairra joined the supporting cast of Love & Hip Hop: New Yorks second season, acting as a friend and confidante to Emily. Several episodes in Love & Hip Hop: New York second season were filmed in Miami, originally intended to set up a spin-off starring Teairra and Erica Mena. In 2014, Teairra joined the cast of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, becoming one of the show's original eight cast members. The first two seasons explore her lingering feelings for Ray J, who she dated on-and-off again for nine years prior to the show, and her violent feud with his girlfriend, Princess Love. The third and fourth seasons delve deeper into her personal struggles and battle with alcoholism, including being charged with battery and theft after an altercation with an Uber driver in 2015. She begins dating producer Cisco Rosado, much to the disapproval of her friends, and her drinking problem worsens, leading to an on-camera intervention and subsequent stint in rehab. In season five, while struggling with sobriety, she enters a relationship with Akbar Abdul-Ahad. Unbeknownst to her, he is already in a polyamorous relationship with two women. The storyline made headlines in May 2018, when a sex tape of Teairra appeared on social media, and she announced in a press conference with Lisa Bloom that she intended to sue Akbar for allegedly leaking the video and 50 Cent for reposting it, citing revenge porn laws. Teairra was criticised by fans, fellow cast members and the media for allegedly fabricating the storyline, which she denies. Teairra returns as a supporting cast member late into season six. She also appears in an episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: After Party Live! and in the special Dirty Little Secrets. Moniece Slaughter (Seasons 1–5, supporting cast member in season 6), also known as Kali, is a singer-songwriter, best known for singing the original theme song of America's Next Top Model. Her stepfather is Grammy Award-winning gospel singer Dave Thomas of Take 6. She has a son, Kamron David Frédéric, with Lil' Fizz, born in 2010. Moniece is introduced as Fizz's estranged baby mama, who is struggling to shake off her "deadbeat mom" reputation and provide for her family by starting a sex toy business. During the season, she clashes with Fizz's girlfriend Amanda, which culminates in a violent altercation where Moniece drags her across a table by her hair. Moniece begins dating Love & Hip Hop: New Yorks Rich Dollaz and takes on a larger role in season two, which explores her mental health issues and her difficult relationship with her mother Marla. She ignites a vicious feud with Princess and Brandi after a confrontation at the second season reunion, which intensifies throughout season three, leading to the uncovering of an alleged sex tape. Moniece reveals her bisexuality at the season three reunion, and her girlfriend, A.D., joins the cast in season four. The season chronicles their relationship struggles, as well as her feud with A.D.'s friend Tiffany, who would begin dating Fizz in season five. After publicly begging producers to be let out of her contract, Moniece confirmed that season five would be her last as a series regular. At the reunion, she and Princess shared a tearful reconciliation, finally ending their feud after several years on the show together. Moniece returns as a supporting cast member in season six, which chronicles her ongoing co-parenting struggles with Fizz, when his dishonesty about his relationship with Apryl drives a wedge between them. Moniece also appears as a supporting cast member in two episodes of season seven of Love & Hip Hop: New York, where she visits New York to expose Rich for trying to rekindle their relationship behind Jade's back, and in eight of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, where she has a brief relationship with rapper Scrapp DeLeon. She also appears in the specials The Wedding, Dirty Little Secrets, The Love Edition, Love & Hip Hop Awards: Most Certified and 40 Greatest Love & Hip Hop Moments: The Reboot. Apryl Jones (Seasons 1–2, 6, guest star in season 4) is a singer-songwriter, originally from Chicago, Illinois. She is an Afro-Asian of mixed ethnicity, her mother is of Taiwanese, Chinese and Mongolian descent, while her father is African-American with Native American roots. She rose to fame through her relationship with Omarion, who she began dating in 2013. The first season chronicles the pregnancy and birth of her first child with Omarion, Megaa Omari Grandberry, as well as Apryl's strained relationship with Omarion's mother Leslie. Season two explores her career frustrations and insecurities, as Omarion enjoys newfound success. Apryl and Omarion did not attend the taping of the second season's reunion as Omarion was on tour. On December 7, 2015, Apryl confirmed the two had quit the show and would not be returning the next season. On March 7, 2016, Apryl gave birth to Omarion's second child, A'mei Kazuko Grandberry. Four months later, Apryl and Omarion announced their break up. Apryl would make a guest appearance in season four, meeting up with Fizz to discuss a possible B2K reunion. Apryl returns to the show in season six, which chronicles her custody battle with Omarion, as well as the media speculation and scrutiny surrounding her relationship with Fizz. During the season, the two admit that they are romantically involved, putting her into conflict with Moniece and the other cast members. Hazel-E (Seasons 1–2, 4, supporting cast member in season 3), born Arica Tiffany Adams, is a publicist, brand consultant, entrepreneur and rapper, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. She was a military brat who was raised in Houston, Texas by an African-American mother and Puerto Rican father. She became known in the industry for her work as a publicist for artists such as Gnarls Barkley, Tank and The Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder. Hazel is introduced as Teairra's best friend and confidante, having lived together for several years, despite the two often coming to blows throughout the series. The first season chronicles her ill-fated relationship with rapper Yung Berg, who she is in love with but he refuses to claim their relationship as anything more than casual sex. He later begins dating Masika, igniting a bitter feud between the two women that would last the rest of the series' run. After breaking her nose in Dubai and having a drink thrown in her face while filming season two, Hazel quit the series, comparing it to a "freak show". She would return as a supporting cast member towards the end of season three, once again coming face to face with Masika and reigniting their rivalry. Hazel rejoins the main cast in season four, entering a relationship with aspiring rapper Rose Burgundy and beginning what she calls "the Hazel-E stunt phase". After sparking violent feuds with nearly every member of the cast and causing controversy for making a series of anti-gay and colorist posts on social media, it was reported that Hazel had been fired from the show. Hazel also appears in an episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: After Party Live! and in the special Dirty Little Secrets. In 2018, Hazel and her mother Angela appeared on an episode of Iyanla: Fix My Life, where she reveals that she was molested by a female babysitter as a child.
