/ own
I went to Spelman with her and she was beautiful inside and out.. life happens to all of us. Like most who struggle like this, she is a survior.. at the end of the day, we are glad that she is alive and well. we are glad she is still here.. We are keeping you uplifted in prayer ! Girl, we are proud of you !
Miss Miss, God bless you for speaking words of healing and encouragement.♥️🙏🏾
Amen! God still has purpose for her and I pray she's able to walk in it. ❤
What was she like? Did she act anything like she does today? And are you still in ATL cause that’s where she is
Wow
Amen
I don’t care if she was doing drugs on the street they could have let her talk to her dying mother that’s something she can never get back.
Exactly. That was her mother.
I agree with you completely, My mother died last August from Cancer and I'm grateful that I got to spend time a lot of time with her ..Those moments you get to spend are precious and I couldn't imagine if I didn't get that chance becausee of an addiction. I hate that for her, I hope she gets clean nd heals....
I agree!
@@MaraLeeT well said. My heart breaks for her and the loss her and her Mom missed💔💔💔
Exactly, I firmly believe that as well! Those important moments she can never get back! So very sad...it makes my heart break for her!
she was literally THAT girl in the 90s. literally was one of the most beautiful black girls on tv then
Other tv shows the same as this has had the effect on other actresses and actors. What do you think it could be?
@@georginajovanovic i assume that kid stars parents, in those days treated acting for kids like a sport. The kids would probably have so much pressure from their parents to out perform, maybe even crew and media pressure as well. Most kids I think get into acting and never get to be themselves again so it could cause an identity crisis.
I’m from South Africa and I’m agreeing with you.
@@LifewithaFacialDeformity Her parents didn't want her to act. They knew she had mental health issues, and were concerned that the industry would eat her alive. I worked at Spelman during the very brief time she was there. Her mother died trying to help here daughter.
Still is she's a GEM!!!✨💝
Maia eyes this whole episode….😢🥺 the pain is so visible. May she and her daughter be protected on the rest of their journey here on earth ❤️
Plus she was *HIGHLY MEDICATED* on her bipolar medication. So sad,she was the same way when I saw her like 5yrs ago here in Atlanta after this with missing teeth . BTW she was very articulate and smart ,when we converse. I was FLABBERGASTED THAT IT WAS HER 😔
Her skin is beautiful without makeup. She’s aged so well.
Aged well despite her being on drugs
Yes, it looks really good for someone who had used drugs. Most people look super rough when they do that.
@@MsLotusBlooms my exact thoughts. She’s model level gorgeous.
Melanin is amazing
If she was healthier, I think she would look better.
She's still beautiful even without makeup
That's right ❤
But what do you mean without makeup ? I see foundations applied, eyelashes etc
@@marthakaufi9610she had to take the makeup off for the acting part
Being bipolar, I can understand, see and feel a portion of Maia’s pain. The medication numbs you, your thoughts and emotions. I could tell just by looking into her face how hard it was to even cry; her response almost sound robotic. This episode touched me and was very personal. I pray hearts are able to mend for her, her Father and her beautiful little girl.
Hey mama... I'm praying for you... The truth of the matter is that I'm scared I may have bipolar disorder and I'm scared to get diagnosed because it will make it real for me... My behavior does not make sense. But I will be praying for you mama...
@@tracym1989 please go get help. Once you make it real you can attack it! My friend denied it for years and she finally faced it and now she is one of the most loving stable person I know. There is nothing wrong with you, you just need a little extra help ❤️we all do.
@@olaines9154 this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me... Ok I'll do it I promise... I need yall to help me by holding me accountable... I'll go get checked and I'll post an update... I promise🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. I love u all
@@tracym1989 you got this! There is nothing wrong with living a better life with the help of medication. I take medication for my anxiety and I’m so thankful I have the help when I can’t contain my own emotions
Yes you hit it right on the nail. Meds take your emotions away. You can see something heartbreaking & almost shrug your shoulders at it knowing you'd usually be in tears.
I have never seen so much pain reflecting in someone’s eyes like this woman. Omg, I’m tearing up looking into her eyes. I hope she gets better, she deserves so much better
Yessss 🥺 she’s need God Jesus
This is new?
Yes, the pain is all in her eyes. This is so sad, my heart genuinely goes out to her. I pray God heals her mind,heart and spirit. Regardless of all her short comings and mistakes she has made, she is still a beautiful woman inside and out❤️ Nothing is to hard for God
She so nice humble
And she so Beautiful and humble! # $TOPTHEABUSEOFYOUNGBEAUTYS
Her eyes tell so much 😔. She crosses my mind often. I really loved watching her growing up. I’m definitely going to keep her in prayer.
I LOVED THE END QUOTE “Meet ppl where they are and not hold them hostage to the they been”
❤
very brave for Maia to confront her issues head on. Hoping for her full recovery and healing.
She was absolutely sweet funny and beautiful actress
@@jmilli0479 This aired a decade ago. This isn't new.
@@sherriebumbray1748 Ok and I commented relating to her past. I didn’t say anything about how she looks or if she’s acting in 2021/2022
That bone structure she’s still stunning. I pray for her peace.
Please Lord Jesus Christ send the Holy spirit into her life. I just want her to be healthy and happy.
Amen!😰💖💎💯
Amen!!!😢 ❤
Same! Amen! ❤
Watching her fall is incredibly sad. She is battling some demons that none of us know of. In her defense, I think Iylanla was a little biased and not very empathetic because she was friends with her mother. Maia stated several times that it was the words of her mother that harmed her. We have to stop looking at the fact that her mom was famous and understand what went on behind closed doors and was spoken to her. Words are like knives. It clearly is a wound to her soul. I wish Iyanla would have delved more into that.
I agree! And I think she didn’t take into account that once the drugs have you it’s not easy to just not be high and be present! Bipolar is hard to live with and mix that with drugs aswell it’s not easy. It’s not always been understood in the black community as much but people have had to deal with it the best way they can. I love some of her episodes but some I do agree she can be biased in how she sees people. She needs to be a bit more empathetic to people and understand certain things are not based on choices they made willingly.
I agree!
💯
Omg you said all of this perfectly. I agree 💯 percent.
Yes I've always liked Iyanla but the way she handled Mia was not up to par, it was as though.....a part of her judged her. To me she was so busy trying to make her take the blame she never got to the root of her pain, no she didn't help this woman the way she usually helps the wounded, and that was sad to watch 💔
It shouldn't have matter if she was on drugs in the street or not she should have had the right to talk to her dying mother high or not. Period
Perhaps her mother doesn't want to her from a drug addict while she is dying it isn't all about the addict
@@dharter100 What kind of mother doesn’t want to hear from her child when they’re dying? No parting wisdom to share? No last advice or wishes? That’s sick.
My heart is breaking watching how strung out / numb Maia is because of whatever meds they have her own before she came on the show. It's like she's feeling all the emotions and wants to speak but she's trapped and unable to express her emotions because of the medication
she should look into reputable alternative therapists and treatments for bipolar disorders.
@@datrandispatch1545 she should look 👀 into Jesus the only one ☝️ who can save her
@@laamberrobinson1139 just because you have Jesus doesn’t mean you ignore the tools he gives you 😴
@@xclusively_meh6631 i didn’t say ignore the tools he gave us 😫🤣 idk 🤷♀️ what u are talking about sister just give it to Jesus please don’t put words in my mouth 👄 love ❤️ 🙄 and again she still still needs Jesus and the tools he gave us 🥰
@@xclusively_meh6631 and the alternative that u are speaking of are not going to work alone because one ☝️ the meds are not good 😊 two she’s filled with unclean demonic spirits that only the Holy Spirit Jesus can rid her of so unless she seeks him not even counseling , therapy etc. will be enough mere man cannot help us alone we need the Lord and a lot of man made alternatives , treatments are not in alignment with the Lord so yeah just had to add that 😴☺️
You can see that the medication Maia is taking is has a certain affect on her.
Although Mai was Iyanla friend. I really think Mai mother did a number on her. A childs upbringing is so delicate and important!
YESS l totally agree
What is Maia 's mothers childhood story or trauma?
Where there is fruit even bitter ones , there is a bitter seed first.
Empathy has to be available for everyone in this story.
YES!
She is literally the prettiest chocolate beauty of the 90s. That smile, how she was popping it in seventeen again. She was literally that GIRL
This was so heartbreaking even thought this is old but my heart cried for her! Lord, I don't know where she is now but I pray that you keep her covered under your blood and a hedge of protection around her! You speak to her ear gates and heart and heal her hurt and pain and turn it into joy and peace! I intercede on her behalf that she shall be saved! She is still your daughter and needs YOU! Place somebody in her path way to see her for who you made her to be and give her the help she needs to live a beautiful joyful life. She shall never return to the broken her but live. She has not been forgotten and is worthy of your love and her self-worth AMEN!
I stand in agreement with this prayer.
@@ViolaLabi AMEN 🙏
Amen!
Amen
@@ladyindaroom 🙏
What people fail to realize with bi-polar is something traumatic happens for it to get bad.and people want people with this disorder to take responsibility when in actuality they need to be taking care of.
And with the medication even though it helps be stable. It makes her seem like a robot you can sense her feelings but she can’t even show them. She couldn’t even cry.
Right she said loud and clear that it happened once they took her daughter away its much more to this story of course but obviously the people around her and the baby father play a role as to why she went down a spiral
A word!
And being in that industry, Im sure she experienced some horrible things that made her condition even worse. Praying for her and her daughter.
2mins in and Im in tears, I hate this for her, I pray she's in a much better place today.
I don’t like a LOT of Iyanla’s perspective and language. I want to work with this woman. This wasn’t the way. Ain’t nothing changing from this approach. I am an energetic mental health practitioner and specifically work with black women with ADHD & Bipolar.
She “owed” her mother? Sounds like her mother turned away from HER with the drug of ambition and success…
The way Iyanla hugged Elisha, MAIA NEEDED TOO!
I want to start with a long hug. Cause this ain’t it. Feels like an abuse…
Thank you.! This was VERY disturbing
Thank-you. I agree and I'm no therapist. Iyanla's approach was so cold and very parent to child in her exchanges. Also, she didn't mention her accomplishments such as making it past rock bottom and being clean for two years. I wanted to hug her the entire time. She needs support and then she will build confidence in herself again and be the mother her daughter deserves.
She's naturally gorgeous
You're beautiful too ☺
Whew… her eyes. So much hurt behind them. I don’t think she was ready for this, but I’m happy that SHE got to share her story. We know media love to call black women angry or crazy. I remember when that video hit the net, they tore her apart. It’s sad to watch because she was that girl in 90s. So MUCH potential. I’m sure she had a lot of Hollywood friends. I could bet money that none of them checked on her.
o
LL cool j reach out to help
You don’t know that. And whether they did or not doesn’t mean it would help. Addiction cannot be stopped by someone else.
Iyanla doesn’t sugarcoat nothing and I love it ❤️
I hate it, I hope she doesn’t relapse 😡too insensitive.
@@Greatful0374I agree. I think she's too aggressive. Sometimes, we accept responsibility for everything that happened to us, and although accountability is extremely important, some things we didn't deserve to happen to us. It's not ALL our fault. We deserve grace as well especially if we were a child when these things were done. I would love an update on this beautiful talented young lady. Praying she is happy, healthy, and safe. ❤
@@CVRenee RIGHT! Positive toxicity be like ‘oh you called for this to happen or you met what you manifested’ uhmmm no! A victim is still a victim.
@@Greatful0374 Thank you for saying that. You have no idea what that validation just did. Thank you🙏🏾❣
@@Greatful0374Correct!
Omg the medication really does take away emotions, you can see her really trying to connect…i hope she’s well now.
It's too heartbreaking 💔 for me to finish watching. There is so much heartache and pain. I'm praying for her and her daughter. To this day, there are people in ATL that see her on the streets. One woman said she would give her clothing and food whenever she saw her. Maia even told the woman, "You may have seen me on tv." Continue to pray for her yall that she overcomes her demons and gets help 😢🙏🏽 ❤️🙏🏽
That's heartbreaking
Wait she not doing good anymore?
@Frankie Says I think the timeliness suggests this Iyanla episode may predate another video that shows her unwell again. Shame. But not uncommon. the drugs appear to keep them stable but have side effects so patients do not always stay on them.
@@frankiesays2535she was found five months ago strung out again unfortunately :(
She still has a beautiful light inside of her. I can't imagine having mental illness and a drug addiction. Drug addiction is hard as hell on it's own. Yes she relapsed but she's still has time to get it right. Prayers up for her. I have full belief she can and will get better.
I was looking in the comments, hoping there'd be an update. I hope and pray she is okay!
She still looks so beautiful and I'm happy she is trying to change! And, hope she is doing well, now. God bless her, we all have challenges to face!
She is gorgeous I was just watching in the house yesterday she hasn’t aged at all I’m praying for an amazing comeback for her
She is really a good actress. She flips in and out of character flawlessly. Sweet child.
Such a beautiful soul. May she be healed. It was a joy seeing her on tv growing up. She is a goddess. Hollywood didn’t deserve her. May she tell her story one day with no shame
OMG this brought me to tears especially with her stepfather and daughter. Aww, ... sweet. 🤗 Iyanla is the woman! Really gonna miss her show! 😟
Mental health is serious..After the drugs and everything else she's still beautiful as ever🙏🙏🙏
Yes she is
I agree
Yes she's gorgeous ..she defcan get work again..but it may be too much pressure
On the brink of an emotional and mental breakdown, it’s a blessing I’ve seen this today. If I don’t get myself together mentally and emotionally- I could be her at her age. Im 25 now. 🙏🏿 I could watch Iyanla Vanzant all day.
I'm praying for you, God has you. Prayer changes things.
May the almighty God 🙏 protect you and pull you out right now in Jesus name... Love! light ! and heal!
If you have to watch Iyanla every single day to lift you up and keep you from falling, you do exactly that. What you said touched my heart and soul. I will pray for you even not knowing you. Go and find someone to talk to who isn't bias and can be objective. Do not bury your pain. Let it out and let it go! Find a quiet spot in your house and cry as hard as you have to or need to until you feel better no matter how long it takes. Meditate. Try some yoga to relax your mind. Sending you a big hug. Again, find someone you can trust to share you pain with. There is nothing wrong with talking to a Counselor/Therapist. It doesn't make you any less of a person but it can definitely help you push pass the pain and move forward. It can also be very rewarding. Do not allow the pain and hurt in your heart to control you. You have to control it so it doesn't take you over. The devil is a liar and do not allow him to win. PEACE BE STILL!
I'm in a better space now but have struggle emotional issue my entire life. Keep listening to Iyanla and others like her and you will pull thru, I also never thought I would but I did... You will be in my prayers. Psalms 46:1/Psalms 94:18-19/Revelations 21:4-5 All the best to you
Sending love and blessings ❤️❤️
Ilyana is gaslighting her. She clearly said they wouldn't let me talk to her on the phone.
Right
I don't care for the stuff Iyanla does.
I disagree. Iyanla is showing her that there is power in having a different narrative. She said, “they didn’t let me talk to her on the phone.” Yes, they didn’t let her talk to her Mother on the phone AS A RESULT of her behavior while on drugs. If she owns her truth then “what they did” no longer has power over her! She will own what she did heal from it.
Her mother had brain cancer… imagine how confusing it was for her mother trying to talk to her while she’s drugging out & off her meds.
@@shai9256She wouldn't be talking to her. That's the point. That terrible mug shot, was that her? No. That woman in the car "bugging out" was that her? No.
So who would be on the other end of the phone to her mother? Maia or "drug fiend" Maia? Maybe they had allowed phone calls in the beginning and stopped because of something that happened during? Maybe they didn't want to add further heartbreak to her mother's situation.
I totally get the hurt she feels in not being able to speak to her mum though because it ended up being her last opportunity.
this entire episode is beyond relatable… i was diagnosed with bipolar at 18.. and i’m having a hard time taking my medicine and staying on it.. as Maia said it slows you down. and that’s one feeling i hate the most. not taking my medications has caused multiple outbursts and mania episodes.. eventually, ended up in a inpatient facility. it’s really a battle every day… think about Maia a lot bc she’s so relatable.. seen she was recently arrested.. hope she gets well.. 🤍🤍
Hang in there
I as well was diagnosed as bipolar 2 years ago and take medication. When the manic outburst happens, ppl laugh and think you're crazy not knowing that you're having an outer-body experience. I was committed twice and I still struggle even with the meds but I'm still here. Most of the time it's isolating because no one around can relate so it's refreshing to hear other's experiences.
Self medicating isn't the answer.
What people need to understand is there are several types of medications available unlike decades ago. You need to learn coping skills in addition to the meds. Too many times people think you good with just the meds not true. Also, you need to know when to actually take the meds if the meds make you loopy during the day so take them at night and go to bed when you wake up the effects are milder and more manageable. Many people including doctors don't tell you this.
There is growing interest in the investigation of ketogenic diets as a potential therapy for bipolar disorder. The overlapping pharmacotherapies utilized for both bipolar disorder and seizures suggest that a mechanistic overlap may exist between these conditions, with fasting and the ketogenic diet representing the most time-proven therapies for seizure control. Recently, preliminary evidence has begun to emerge supporting a potential role for ketogenic diets in treating bipolar disorder.
I am Soo glad she got cleaned up, and is in the process of getting her life back on track. Mental health is real. She was so talented ♥️
Wonder how her daughter is doing
Unfortunately she has relapsed in the more recent years and is now in the Atlanta area. She’s currently homeless and back using. Fans tried to reach out to LL Cool J for him to try and help her, he made an attempt and Maia never came through
Talent isa born gift she won't lose her talent unless she gives up and Maia Campbell is a fighter. There's a fight in her and God is pulling her through by faith.✊🙏
Looking at her acting when she was in her 20's had me crying 😢 😭.. just seeing the whole thing made me feel so bad... May God protect her...
Whew!!! This has me bawling!! Praying for this sweet soul and her precious daughter!! Cover and deliver her Most High!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
She's 45 now... her daughter is 22... time is flying... praying for all her demons to leave...
This 🙏🏾
Wow
Amen 🙏
I am so happy someone was able to reach her. Such a beautiful woman who got caught up in a world of evil. And her daughter is gorgeous as well. God bless her!
Wow what a strong lady. Battling bi polar, facing all of her mistakes and struggling to comes to terms with it. I do hope she's doing better in 2024.
This made me cry. I grew up watching loving Maia. Mental health affects everyone differently and can arise out of nowhere and throw life out of control
Definitely need a update on her. I hope she's well.
Iyanla just did to Maia, what she replied to the Step-father to not to do. When Iyanla said(35:32), “I don’t care about the resentment in the future. I care about the sadness now”. You just dismissed her expression as she’s going thru her therapeutic journey. It’s important to her!
Same thing when she told the Father to acknowledge an expressed hurt from her past.
exactly! and obviously her addiction stems from trauma and since she hates her meds it pushes her to “self medicate” more it’s too much tension
Yeah i dont like how Iyana handled her at all.
I didn’t like it either! She understands her mistakes, she truly needs help and support with bipolar not treating her like she can’t and taking everything from her.
@@jekelasmith6854 i don't think she understands her mistakes cause she at times doesn't seem to want to take accountability
I'm in tears for her, because she's deserves better than this. I understand that life happens, but she's deserved better. God is still able to heal her, restore the years lost, and I just pray she'll seek Him 🙏 🕊
I can believe this was 10 years ago...I pray she has continued on the positive path.
She not.😔 She's in Atlanta in the streets doing drugs. I pray she truly get the help she deserves.
@@niccijanelle8319 that’s so sad, but also very understandable - in the sense that many people who suffer with early childhood trauma struggle throughout life, even after attempting to resolve and address it. I hope she tries to start over again as she looks as though she has the strength
@@melina821and she cant confront her mom. This missing piece
She’s still one of the most beautiful women ever!
I'm so happy Maia was on the show! I remember when she had her breakdown and the videos went viral of her. It was so sad. I've been waiting to hear good news from her, and so happy she's getting the help she needs!! Very talented and beautiful soul 🙏🏿🙌🏾
Same. Beautiful women with a beautiful spirit. Its definitely heart wrenching to have scene that video.. Hollyweird plays a role in these people's downfalls. I'm so happy she is getting help. We can't give up on her nor others like her.
Sad. We as black women and men go through things like this. Instead of getting help we hide it....because folks are so judgemental. Mental health is very important. I have a close friend who has been diagnosed as a bipolar schizophrenic, her mom has the same issue. The things she goes through really breaks me tf down sometimes, peope treat my friend so fouls and like she's done something wrong, when she didn't.
Thank you for this comment. Beautifully worded
@@destinythomas5537 my friend had to have surgery and stopped taking her Ned's because she couldn't have certain drugs on her system before surgery...those four days without it, resulted in a manic episode she explained to them her situation, that she needed her meds....instead of helping her, theu shoved her into a mental institution and sent her one yar old to her live with my friends dad. In this daitlity, she said they were giving her meds and she didn't even know what they were for, it kept her sleepy and drowsy all the time. She woke up to on of the male nurses with his pants foen, climbing on top of her. And because she was in chicago, had no family there, they assumed nobody would miss her. It reallybroke me, knowing i was a simple four hour driv from her, but becaue of tem keeping her so medicated, she wasnt allowed or couldnt call anyone. I'm so glad she isn't there anymore and is really getting herself back to normal. I just hate that hr baby girl hs t go through it too, her dad is pretty much trying to take her child as his own.
Until mental health knocks on your door you will never understand how hard it is for people to deal with.
I get what Iyanla was trying to do here however Maia’s mental health impacted her decision making. She can’t make the appropriate changes to her life w/o medication and consistently taking it. She would need to understand the importance of taking the medication & actually taking it in order to make progress
easier said than done ! those meds debilitate ur natural essence so after you feel well u tend to stop taking them , speaking from experience
This is traumatizing. I’m happy she is trying to heal and pray she didn’t relapse. Putting myself in her shoes and being that I went through some of the things she went through I would have had a break down or walked out…
The fact that they wouldnt let her see her momma leads me to believe that thats a huge trigger for her. People in Atlanta see her all the time. But instead of offering uplifts words or prayer, their first instinct is to record and mock her in the worst light. I hope shes doing okay. I hope shes safe. And I hope shes happy. And I hope shes healed. There are still people rooting for you Maia. We believe in you ❤
It doesn’t matter if she was in the streets doing drugs or not that is still her mom, they could have let her at least talk to her on the phone.
This made me ball. Bc deep down inside we all.suffer. some are stronger than others and some have more or less support. Ppl expect you to just get better sometimes you need a dedicated system. Meet them where they are.
100%
There but for the grace of God go I. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 one month ago. I fought my ex husband and my mother for my children and God’s grace I won. I am a good mom with a sprained brain. We need to acknowledge that mental health privilege exists.
💡🕊📖
God Bless you and your family
@@drealempress7233 Thank you. Today I am well by God’s grace. 🙏🏽
She is soooo beautiful!!! Physically and also mentally I can see she has a good heart. I hope she can heal.
i hate that Iyanla has to quit doing her show because people threatening her, what a bunch of losers they are for making her quit her job
who is threatening her?
Who where
You mean being critical?
@@hazel8882 haters have sent death threats and stalked her.
Omgggggg really? 🥺
This made me so emotional because you can see the hurt & trauma in her eyes & how much she wants to better herself. How much she wants to regain her life🥺 it’s really hard when you’re alone facing your demons. I pray that today she’s in a better place mentally.
Beautiful inside and out. This was probably the best episode I've watched being that she's been the most open to help. I love to see you healing sis
This really warms my heart to see her take accountability, and get her entire life back on track! xoxoxoxoxo
It's hard trust me mental health is like cancer medication is just management doesn't cure at times trust me
I don't think this helped her at all... This feels so one sided and fake .. and then in the comments they said she relapsed after this special... I hate Hollywood
I hope she’s doing well she was a great actress and beautiful brown skin woman to be seen on tv for this little brown girl. Her life story has always haunted me and I’ve never allowed myself to listen or learn her full story because the reality of it was and is too scary for me. Meaning how life could change so fast. Praying for her and many others always!!! Godbless 🙏🏾
@Justin Pate That’s so sad to hear. I know personally about bi-polar disorder from family members. It’s such a struggle to see them off the meds but at the same time when they are on them it’s like they are zombies. I pray they develop medicine that balances but also keeps their emotions and personality genuine and humane. Blessings to those struggling with any mental disorder or have family members that continue to battle. 🙏
@Justin Pate yeah so sad she looks really bad with tooth missing and all.
I live in Atlanta and unfortunately she's still out there pretty bad, LL offered to help her financially but she declined🥺
@@UncleDuTheWatchman thwnk you for the encouragement and prayers. We need more individuals like u. Stay blessed 😇 🙌
@@MizzFireRed i know her personally and she only declined bc when she reached out privately for years, she was ignored and dismissed.
Her skin is so clear and beautiful. I pray she better.
I was looking for this episode forever. Thanks to the uploader. You're the real mvp
I think about Maia and her daughter occasionally. I hope they're doing okay. I pray Maia is safe and healthy. I hope Maia's daughter knows that her mom loves her no matter what.
I love you, Iyanla. I hope your happy and smiling.
When you can feel another person's pain. Thanks for this episode. May God continue to bless you on your journey 🙏
I'm so proud of her for allowing herself time for healing and heal the relationship with her family. Hat's off to you, praying for you and your family. Take care 🙂
I'm not sure if Maia understands how important it was for me and maybe other dark skinned girls to see her and her pretty dark skin on tv in the 90's. She is still so beautiful. Looks the exact same! Also, Her truth is her truth about her mother. No parent is perfect.
Seeing her pain and inability to deal with it-- Well, it makes me face my pain vs the thought of the alternative. LORD help us all bring our pain to you instead of self-medicating. LORD, YOU alone are our HEALER!! AMEN!!!
That medication does make you numb, like you are not in your body controlling it just observing. You can see the fight to feel and it breaks my heart for her. She is beautiful and I pray she gets where she needs to be inside, so she can thrive in life.
The emotions that poured from me watching this, whew! God bless this family, I hope everyone has been able to maintain peace & a happy life together ❤
She’s so beautiful … I wish her the best.
She's so beautiful
Many Black parents back then did not believe in celebrity unless you were an athlete. We were pushed to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc to be the success story of the family. Being an actor is like child’s play…basically a pipe dream to a lot of Black parents back then.
… 💥Exactly… our folk wanted solid ‘ bread and butter’~ professions.. interesting acting was frowned upon
By the 😒 other group as well..not just Melianated folk.. for years!
But even with great point your making I feel their was something very very sinister going on in the
Parent child relation ship and
Of course hollyweird..

She’s still so beautiful 😻
She is such a survivor! I'm glad that she is getting better. Hopefully, she is doing much better.
Wow she's so intelligent. I hope she pulls through. God give her strength 🙏🏾
I am so glad and happy that she got the help she needed and is turning her life around. God Bless Her in this journey.
I'm glad she's doing better and she looks great....🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
We miss you Ms. Iyanla. You are changing lives everyday. We love and appreciate you
Why do people like to make fame off of someone else's misery. I love Maia and pray to the Lord that she is better. I have always wondered if she ever got her life together. Maia is a beautiful sister and have been battling with some demons. I say a prayer for her every night and ask the Lord to show her the way. She fail off her journey but please show her the way and help her back to her path to a healthy, happy, drug free life and help her and her daughter rekindle a loving mother and daughter relationship.
No one is perfect and we all have fallen short one time or another in our lives. The good news is we can always find our way back if we are determined enough. We can do anything through God who strengthens us!
I don't know you Maia but I have faith and believe in you so strive to move forward in a positive direction and no matter what, never give up my beautiful sister!
Ms. Iyanla my hats off to you for your willingness to help Ms Maia!
Unfortunately it seems she continued to deteriorate later on.
@@Natalia-ns7jf really, dang....I was so hoping she would pull through.
@@Anonymous-pg2lr so was I. Don't know the full details but it appears she stopped taking her medication again.
I met her…she’s so sweet yet so broken. Wanted to make sure no one was filming her etc but she’s really down bad. Broke my heart. We had some good conversation
I hope she is doing better today. Parents don't realize how they can destroy their children with harmful words. Saw her mother doing an interview in which she called her daughter a b* . You should have given her more time to speak about the maltreatment by her parents. I believe there are a lot of people suffering and mistreating themselves because of the words their parents spoke over them.
Iyiala had no right to exploit her like this. I have seen her meet with others ( Braxton family, Lisa Ray), and she dare not have spoken to them the way she has spoken to Miya. This really upset me. If she was truly a friend to Miya's mother, she would not have done this tacky interview. This is what happens when you call on man instead of Jesus.
I was thinking the same thing, seems like she's trying to make her feel worst rather than help help her. I've seen her way more loving towards worst ppl on her show. Smh. This wasn't cool.
@@lasheemaford8318 yes it was disturbing to watch and nobody else really seems to have caught it.
I agree exploited her and she shouldn’t have done this especially being friends with her mom
@@lasheemaford8318it would have Been nice for Her to have talk to A License Christian Counselor/ Therapist. 🙏🙏
when she smiled at her stepfather, she looked like a little kid it tore me up 😢
Maia is such a beautiful soul. This was a tough episode to watch. I pray to god’s that she continues to get healing. 😢 ❤ she has such a beautiful daughter
I wonder how many people Iyanla has actually helped because her therapy tactics seem crude and condescending. Maia needed to be handled with more love and care, not pounded with pain of her past memories.
I totally agree. This is not therapy.
This is trauma and shaming via emotional manipulation and condescending inuendos and leading questions from iyanla, unfortunately she takes advantage of the ignorance of broken black viewers who have never Had therapy and will swallow this as if it's wholesome counselling when it's not... Ive clocked how she treats her female black guests very differently to the black male worship nd hand holding she carries on with when emasculated buck broken black men go on her show to further promote wounded black man syndrome she is a total sell out for what she is subliminally promoting... Another political prostitute parading as a mammy who cares for her community smh 🤦🏾♀️
@@rockywalkie626 a word!!! I’m so angry after watching this!!
I agree
Iyanla is all about the dramatics for TV. I think she started out with the right intent, but now it's just ridiculous. Anything for viewers. This isn't right at all.
She is still absolutely gorgeous
People took advantage of her while she was in the streets, how shameful. I sympathize with anyone having a drug problem.🥺 I’m happy Maia had this experience in reflecting on her life with Iyanla and ‘own’ her part in what went wrong. Well done Maia. No child should be led to believe their parent(s) expects them to fail. And it’s true many parent(s) today are putting their career ahead of their children. Nevertheless, Maia did very well letting her mother knows she forgives her. And yes Maia, “Hallelujah!” Amen!🤗❤️🙏
This gave me all sorts of feels….my God….I’ll be praying for her.
Wow, hard when a woman lost custody of her child. Stay strong girl
Maia's beautiful daughter looks so much like her grandmother. 🙏
Yes she does.
I want to see her well♥️
Wow to see her vulnerable and broken I can also see the sweet and kind hearted woman she actually is. I pray her recovery leads her to all the things that she need to stay clean and with her daughter!❤️
Miss Iyanla always have me ready to bust out crying!
I can't even watch this. It breaks my heart.
