The feud between the two women came to light when Sacha took to Instagram after she was accused of leaking information about an alleged fling between her ex Ross McCarthy and Erica.
On Thursday, Erica filmed a video from her car as she read some of her vile messages that she had received.
She captioned the video: “Rating the abuse in my DMs.”
The Scottish star said she had been subjected to “threats” as she read out one of the shock messages from someone claiming to be friends with Sacha.
In response, Erica said: “This is giving me Liam Neeson vibes. I’m not one for threats, it’s a bit of a low blow to be honest.
“I don’t know in what world anyone would think that is okay to send to anyone, especially to someone you don’t know.”
She continued: “The thing is, these people don’t know me. If you think in any world that it is okay and acceptable to go online and on your phone and type out a message and give a stranger on the internet abuse, please seek help.”
Erica reminded social media users to think before sending offensive messages.
“This is not okay, it cannot continue. Please remember we do see this stuff, we do have feelings, we are human,” she said.
“It says so much about you, than it does us. You’re basing your opinion on a heavily edited TV show that you see five per cent of and you think it’s okay to send messages like that.
“Please do better, especially when you think about leaving comments as well.”
Since her appearance on the show, an explosive feud has broken out between her and Sacha, from the most recent series.
The feud began after Scottish reality star Erica said on a podcast: “Obviously she’s found God and stuff,” while talking about Sacha.
Her co-host then laughed and repeated what Erica had said, to which a smirking Erica responded: “She has.”
Sacha then shared the clip on her social media, and wrote over it: “Laughing at my religion? Why would they leave this in the edit? Doesn’t make the podcast look very cute. Had loads of messages about this, way to offend a whole community. Really gunning for me.”
Erica has now addressed the moment Sacha was upset about in an interview with The Tab.
She said: “Absolutely NO ONE laughed at her or anyone’s religion. Watching the pod back we can see how it sort of looks as if Meryl laughs at me saying ‘she got up before me and did a speech about how she found God and stuff’ – ultimately Meryl laughed at my wording of ‘God and stuff.
“Meryl is religious and believes in God herself so why would she laugh about that? And I would never judge or mock anyone’s faith and beliefs as I have a good few religious friends. She is simply blowing this way out of proportion and what she’s doing is actually extremely damaging and nasty.”
Erica continued: “I’m actually quite shocked someone who preaches the way she does is behaving like this knowing the hate, abuse and unnecessary drama it’s going to send to my door.
“But moral of the story, there was absolutely no judgement, her accusations are all completely false and her behaviour is disgusting.”
The feud started over an alleged fling between Erica and Sacha’s ex Ross and a story that was leaked about them messaging.
In a long statement, she strongly denied that she was behind the story.
“Apparently I leaked the story on Ross messaging Erica, when we was together, calling her beautiful,” Sacha said.
“I didn’t deny it, that’s true, but I wouldn’t leak it. I don’t care that much.”
Sacha then went on to reveal how she didn’t like Erica because she was a “mean girl” at this week’s reunion.
She continued: “I unfollowed Erica because she wasn’t very nice at the reunion.
“Shouting things about how our season didn’t know how to dress, pulling faces over to Ella and whispering things about people.
“She seemed a really mean girl. Had nothing to do with Ross.”
