“She Isn’t Doing Well At All:” Local Woman Ask For Prayers For Actress Maia Campbell As She Battles Drug Addiction

Unfortunately, things are still not looking good for former actress Maia Campbell and it’s heartbreaking to hear.

According to a Facebook user, London Taj’ier, she said the In the House star “isn’t doing well at all.” MadameNoire picked up on the post first.

London talked about running into Maia all of the time in Atlanta but London didn’t realize who the woman was until recently.

London shared on social media that every time she would stop by a specific Texaco gas station over the last few years, she would encounter a woman who would consistently ask her for money and a ride. Despite the requests, their correspondences would mostly be pleasant. For some time, London said that she felt that the woman looked familiar, but she couldn’t pinpoint where she may have seen her.

“Although she is visibly strung out on drugs and openly pimping herself out for money and drugs, she always seemed so out of place to me,” she wrote

It wasn’t until Valentine’s Day that London ran into the woman at a different space and finally decided to tell her that she looked familiar.

“She told me that I’d probably seen her before on a few tv shows and music videos in the 90s.”

 

 

She added, “I thought she was joking until she pulled out her phone and began showing me pictures of herself b4 she became completely strung out,” she wrote. “Come to find out this woman who is always telling me how beautiful I am and begging me for change is Maia Campbell…an actress best known for her role on LL Cool J’s show In the House!”

London said that Maia asked her not to take a picture of her because on that specific day she was high and not presentable. Maia shared that she was also tired of video of her looking like that being posted online. She admitted to London that she was struggling these days because the industry, and life, had been especially rough on her.

“She said that at some point in her life she lost sight of her value, gave up, and allowed herself to be used and abused by just about any and everybody in Hollywood and Atlanta, and it’s been a difficult up and down process for her since then.”

From there, they shared a hug and London said she would pray for Maia. She then went on to tell her that she would no longer give her money towards her habit, but would start bringing her food and clothes. They exchanged numbers and London said she would help her find shelter should harsh weather come.

“She isn’t doing well at all, but with enough support and love I do believe she can overcome and conquer her demons,” she said. “Y’all please pray for Maia Campbell fr fr…she is such a sweet person and still has so much life left to live.”

London’s full post on Maia Campbell.

The last time Maia resurfaced in the public eye was back in 2017 when she was at a gas station asking a man for money and drugs — but her last television appearance was when she was featured on Iyanla Fix My Life in 2012.

She was trying to tackle her demons as someone suffering with bipolar disorder who developed a meth addiction.

She was also looking to deal with guilt over the death of her mother and to have a better relationship with her now 19-year old daughter Elizabeth Elisha.

People were hopeful that things would improve for the better for her, as she said she wanted to stay clean for her child and she appeared on TV One’s Life After.

However, Maia ended up being arrested a few times for public disturbances at restaurants where she would be intoxicated.

Even her In the House co-star LL Cool J tried to reach out to help at that point. She would eventually respond.

“Hey Todd, look bro,” she said in a video response. “I love you. I don’t need help. I just need a benefit concert for mental health. Don’t TMZ me. This is really me.” She ended the clip by telling her former co-star, “Don’t call me. I’ll call you.”

LL Cool J then posted on Twitter:

Well, one thing for sure — anyone that has an addiction has to want help and be ready for it. We’re hoping that Maia soon reach out to someone that could provide all the necessities to get out of this heartbreaking situation. People are ready to help — but in the meantime, all we can do is pray for her.

Let’s take a look at a clip when Maia was happily acting on the hit sitcom In The House.
