Maia Campbell To Receive Reality Show
When I first saw the video (which I will not post) of In The House actress Maia Campbell cracked out it broke my heart. All I could do was pray that someone would get this girl some help and quick! Well it looks like our prayers have been answered.
“Former child star turned vixen turned You Tube trainwreck, Maia Campbell has teamed up with Reality TV producer Jaysen “Av Action” Accius to start filming the pilot for a reality series that follows her journey as she attempts to pick up the pieces of a once beautiful life while dealing with her addictions and Bi Polar disorder. Maia and the producers of the show are hoping that this show will aid in giving a voice to the thousands of people diagnosed with Bi Polar Disorder every year and the families, friends and communities that struggle to support them.”
In this case I do not care that Maia is getting exploited for a reality show if it means that she will be receiving help in getting off crack. Crack is the devil. It is an evil drug that takes people’s souls. Growing up in the inner city of Chicago, I have seen this reality first hand. Not to mention crack has affected members of my family. The s**t is no joke. As I mentioned earlier, there was a video of Maia that was circulating on the internet months ago showing her cracked out and idiots thought it was hilarious to see the once beautiful actress willing to do anything for a piece of crack. I do mean anything. Sometimes I forget how cruel people can be at the expense of others. I want Maia whole again. Bottom line. I would prefer her recovery to not be viewed on a reality series but if she meets the goal of being drug free again from it, then I will accept this route. I’m going to pray that the main premise of the show will indeed be her recovery. Hopefully this will help her in turning her life around as she also suffers from Bi-Polar disorder.
Clutchettes and Gents – how do you feel about Maia getting a show?

I hope she gets help, but this seems exploitive of not only her, but everyone who has a mental illness.
I think that its a GREAT Idea!….She was a Trending Topic on Twitter for GOD’s sake for that crazy video…so I definitely hope that she can pull it together, show a very real side of mental illness and be victorious whilst keeping us all entertained…the Monica show is a good example of AWFUL reality TV…I have been a fan of her mothers work since college and I could not imagine what my OWN mothers death would do to me…so I wish her the BEST and I WILL be watching!

Even if it is through a reality show, I hope that this show will open the dialogue for mental illness especially in the African American community because this is still a very taboo subject among us.
However, one can only hope…..
I bet VH1 is picking it up and I’m sure it will explotative. You know what kind of black people they like on their reality shows.
Nothing good will come out of this.
I agree! this seems like a trainwreck waiting to happen all over again! She needs help out of the publi eye!
no her recovery should be private maybe after recovery? or maybe well editied version idk i just dont think its a good idea
Agree with ClnMike. I can see exactly what is coming with this a mile away.
This is AWFUL and very disturbing. It is terrible that anyone would use this young woman’s illness to profit. I hope she is able to get help
I’m going to stay positive and say that this show could be the springboard to but Maia back on the road to sanity and salvation. After viewing the videos of her at what looks like her worst, I’m hoping that things could only get better for her.
Why?
This is a trainwreck waiting to happen.
Thank you for not posting it, I have seen it and it was horriable…the only problem with people with such disorders tend to lie and do what they know what is expected of them it is really hard to help them so please let us join are faiths and pray for her. Thank you
I think this show is already working if their plans was to get people talking about mental illness in the black community. The conversation is long overdue.
I agree with Heather. If the goal is to not only get the much needed help Maia but to give those of us unware of this illness a better understanding of how it affects them and the families and communities around them then I say go for it! Not all reality based shows are exploitive. Some have good intentions even though they inadvertantly exploit the people they film. Dr. Drew’s celebrity rehab show is one example one could argue is exploitive yet some of those getting help on the show might not have otherwise. Intervention is another example of a reality show the is meant to be helpful to not only the people being filmed but the viewer as well- educating them on identifying a problem and getting help.
I see success for her via the show. It will be very difficult for those involved having to manage a Bi Polar person so I imagine the intent is not necessarily to make money… would it be worth the stress if it were not to get her help?
