*Maia Campbell is coming back full force and ready to share her story.
The troubled actress says in a recent interview with Get Noticed Media that her life, as we’ve witnessed, has not been a fairytale, and she has dealt with some serious demons.
While she’s getting ready to release her latest single, “Make Em Say,” she’s already looking ahead thinking about writing a book about her life called “Sagittarius.”
She plans to tell the world all of her business, from her battle with drugs to her rise and fall in the industry.
But that’s not all. Like a lot a black actors, she’s wants to work with Tyler Perry on a film based on her late mother Bebe Moore Campbell’s book “72 Hour Hold.”
The struggling actress also admits that she’s aware of being seen “out there”:
“I know the last time everyone saw me, I was way out there on the other stretch of the road. I got myself together, I’ve been sober for two years and I’ve been stable and very [aware] of how this industry works. I’ve been in this industry since I was a little girl so I’m a professional. I am very able to jump back into these waters and swim deep and get it in. So let’s get it poppin’.”
Check out her interview:
Very good to see her bouncing back.
good luck girl. When you get that 2nd chance, use it wisely.
Keep the faith Maia, glad to see you’re doing better. I wish you nothing but the best.
Meh… That song sounds like hot garbage…sorry, but it is. Listening and watching her talk, I’m not really convinced. I really do hope she is clean and on the come up, but that is not the vibe I get from her body language.
The headline of this article does a complete disservice to Ms. Campbell. What the article did not MENTION is that Ms. Campbell suffers from bi-polar disorder or maniac depression. The drug use apparently came after the fact she probably was not taking her medication. It is not unusualy for people who bi-polar to become addicted to an illegal substance once they stop taking their medication. The medication is said to have all kinds of bad side effects, hence why someone who is bi-polar will stop using it. This is a half ass story and the writer of this article would have done everyone a service to report that this young lady was suffering from mental health issues. We need to educate our people about mental illness and that if it is ignored or not diagnosed properly, this is the end result. Stop trivializing mental health issues for scandalous headlines!
