The (absolutely NSFW) video above is of “In The House” star Maia Campbell, a woman who was once an up and coming actress who showed a lot of potential. Now she is addicted to meth, prostituting herself and so out of it that she will mouth off to anyone who approaches her with a camera.
The details of her decline are not clear. It’s rumored that the father of her baby was a dope dealer who provided her with endless drugs, and once her career started slowing down, she got hooked. Now she sleeps on Venice Beach and accepts handouts from anyone and everyone. When this footage was released yesterday I had to share it with you, not for laughs but because she serves as a cautionary tale. I don’t know how or why people start doing meth, to me it seems like you couldn’t possibly be of sane mind when agreeing to take it, but regardless Maia’s story is one to learn from.
That is so sad to see.
She looks very out of it, and just disgusting…
Hugs not drugs kiddos!
Very, very sad. :-(
Her mother was an author, she came from a decent background. It appears that Maia had a promising acting career once upon a time. Meth is an evil drug.
this makes me all kinds of uncomfortable
That was awful. I don’t even know who she is, but I hope she gets help. What an ugly tape – they are mocking her, trying to get her to perform, and she knows it. And the driver did appear to be getting ready to beat her at the end. Damn.
Wow. I wish someone could explain to me what the hell was going on there — what a mess! What is 3 Mafia?
i heard she has schizophrenia..
yes her mother was the author of a book on mental illness which they say was based on her daughter…
the part that sickens me is the guys who are filming this there will always be someone to take advantage of those weaker
pray for her
She has had a long battle with schizophrenia. The book 72 Hour Hold by her mother Bebe Moore Campbell is based on some of the struggles they both had to deal with in regards to Maia’s mental illness. The drugs and lack of treatment has brought her to this point. It’s not a laughing matter but some people in the clip are making fun of her. What’s disgusting to me is the fact that they have no problem taking advantage of someone who needs help. It makes me sick to see someone kick another person while they are down. Hopefully she will eventually get the help she needs. Recovery and getting in better mental will be a long road ahead of her.
The book is called 72 Hour Hold by Bebe Moore Campbell
what the fuck are those paps laughing at?
You’re right, I learned something from this cautionary video! “Lay’s Potato Chips, No one can eat just one!”
What a sad thing to see!!!…. I feel bad for this chick… How friggin hulimiating is all the things the guys are saying? to her face!!!…. I hope she gets help soon..
I don’t understand how we determined that she’s addicted to meth? What’s the source? I know that this isn’t typical in middle-class America, but I see this kind of stuff all the time. Seems like kind of a normal lifestyle to me.
she’s schizophrenic, her mom wrote a book based on their struggles & she recently died. I guess she’s been on a downward spiral, there are people saying this is all fake and staged, I highly doubt it, b/c as talented as she was, she wasn’t that good of an actress. The few seconds she actually looks at the camera ( for the most part she was not making eyes contact, proof that she was probably experiencing some sort of visual hallucinations while talking to the man filming) you can see the completely crazed look in her eye, the same look I’ve seen countless times when I worked with people suffering from mental illness.
she also states in the video she lost her mom…so I’m sure that had a major impact on her health and well being. So between the mental illness drugs and losing her mom..shes got to be on a downward spiral.
Maia’s mother did die of brain cancer her last book was called 72 Hour Hold, it was about Maia’s decent into mental illness, the loss of her mother has greatly exacerbated her mental condition.
Here is a great article written about her and mental illness in the black community who turns on the ill, when in fact they should have pity or at least empathy.

She’s now a prostitute and a meth addict, there are several very sad video’s people have put them up are making fun of a desperately ill woman who won’t live very long now that her mother is dead.
Sweet baby Jesus! She is freakin’ cracked out! The possibility that not only addiction but lingering mental illness, and her mothers death a couple of years back have led her here……
It’s really sad man. Is there no one out there to help her? Besides the pimp in the front street who gives her a quick elbow and shit for lipping off to his boys?
I have seen Breaking Bad. Meth is very good…for your bank account.
Drug use is common amongst schizophrenia patients who refuse to take their meds.
Its a horrible thing.
Meth also causes schizophrenia, it puts a user at great risk to develop the illness, which doesn’t go away if you stop using.
Beet, that should not have been posted. Somethings just should not be exploited — at all.
that was wrong and very sad of them to do that to her. some people just dont care about another person but if it was their sister or mother they wouldnt like it done to them. where is her father where is her daughter’s father where is the community in all this.do she have any family at all that loves her because judging by the people in this video they sure didnt care. i pray that someone with a good heart will take her somewhere to get help because in this video if its real or fake she needs it.
Hey guys! I just found this….. maybe there is hope for miss Maia after all! It was just posted a couple of days ago.
