Maia Campbell was part of cast of the 1995 series "In The House" featuring LL Cool J, Kim Wayans and Alfonso Ribeiro. She was a beautiful actress with a fairly good TV and movie career. Those were the good old days. I'm using past tense here because Maia is a long way from that now.
As of last week, the internet was buzzing over Maia's alleged drug use and prostitution. To date, there are several videos and photos showing Maia Campbell in various stages of undress all the way to complete nudity. Maia Campbell is reportedly bi-polar and a schizophrenic refusing to take medication. Some have alleged that she's had problems with prescription pills in the past.
Most disturbing of all, is the internet video featuring Maia Campbell in a car eating chips while ranting against an idiot with a camera. This clip is about six minutes long and I have to say it is the most disturbing example of what crack and Methamphetamines can do to ANYONE!
Perhaps Maia's own medical and family issues helped push her over the edge. However, we have all seen this happen to both the poor and uneducated. Of course it also happens to the rich and famous.
I'm not putting a link to the video here - you can Google it and find it easily enough. I warn you that it is hard to watch knowing Maia's bio. It should also be hard to watch anyone fall prey to such powerful drugs without doing something to help.
You would think Maia's fellow actors would come to the rescue - eventually...
Well I just reviewed the "video" and I think about the 1970's movie
ReplyDelete"Sparkle" with the 3 singing sisters. Starring Irene Cara and Lonette McKee remember Lonettes character how she was just so beautiful then she hooks up with the gangster boyfriend and her life went horribly down to the GRAVE. Different scenario from Maia or is it? She has to want help there is no amount of begging or friends from her shows that can help her. What a sad story. Pray for her.
