Add another chapter to the sad saga of actress Maia Campbell, daughter of late author Bebe Moore Campbell. Mount Airy’s Kevin Taylor filed a police report Monday accusing Campbell, who co-starred with LL Cool J on the series “In the House,” with stealing his Jeep in Germantown.
According to Taylor and his friend Steve Johnson, the pair left Campbell and the car keys alone in the white 1998 Jeep Cherokee registered to Taylor’s father, Christ Taylor, as they went into Johnson’s home to retrieve musical gear. When they came outside minutes later, Campbell and the car were gone, they said. Sources say Campbell has been floating around Germantown of late and doesn’t seem to be in a good way.
Taylor and Johnson each left messages on Campbell’s cell phone, but she did not return the calls. Nor did she return a message we left her yesterday.
Johnson befriended Campbell and invited her Monday to hang out with him and Taylor.
Northwest Detectives are investigating the auto theft. Anyone with info on the whereabouts of the car or Campbell is asked to call 215-686-3353

That’s a damn shame! Eff “In the house”!! Her ass is gonna end up in the Dog House if she don’t act right.
Can we still call her an actress?
i know times are hard but this is beyond desperate. poor girl. my prayers are with her.
She’s suffering from mental illness, which is really no joke. She needs serious help, but unfortunately SHE has to want it.
OMG her ass looks BEYOND cracked out in that pic!!! I believe she would steal a Jeep…she needs some serious help, this ish isn’t even funny!
She used to be sooooo friggin pretty…damn Maia smh.
Whats the big deal? A bitch gotta around somehow….those tricks aint gonna blow themselves
It’s been said once and I’ll say it again.
“CRACK IS WACK!!!”
SHE NEEDS HELP I LIKE HER, BUT SHE NEEDS HER MEDS…
damn this is so sad. can’t her peoples set up an intervention for her or something.
she needs help but NYC is right. if she doesn’t want help, then there’s not much people can do for her…
She is going through it….she need guidance a lot and need to get her life in order.
@5
WTF?SMH
Damn I always thought that she was a beautiful girl. I feel sorry for her. I will pray for her at night.
She was always what I pictured as the leading lady as Winter in the book/rumored to be movie Coldest Winter Ever.
Damn Maia.
Oh yeah I heard about this a couple days ago. Thats ashame how such a pretty girl can just make herself ugly over something so stupid…damn shame
I agree with #3. I would that those who worked with her, should atleast try to assist her or make her see that she needs to want help for her mental illness. I know she is probably spiraling now because of her mothers’ death in November.
She is on a reckless path and I pray that many you know her and worked with her will help her.
May God be with her and bring her out of this unscathed.
Damn that crack is so addictive.
SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN BEAUTIFUL, BUT THIS IS A BAD GIRL FA SHO! I HAVENT SEEN HER MUCH SINCE TYRESE’S VIDEO LATELY OR SOME SHYT LIKE DAT, HER CAREER NEVA SEEMED TO REALLY TAKE OFF AND I DONT KNOW WHY, BUT I WISH HER THE BEST~
I take it real fucking serious how this indutry does people who crash and burn man. Maia Campbell was like held up so high and great things were supposed to happen for her. DRUGS and ADDICTION are diseases and no one did an intervention?? All this fucking talk of having each other’s back etc, those guys who took the video are the fucking scum of society. Why is it this whole liberal “do what you want” and “get money” attitude come from, the whole “I ain’t her mama” “I didn’t force her to do it” bullshit come from.
We fuck our own, criticise our own, rape our own, degrade our own, then want to turn around and cry foul. Fuck everyone who see Maia Cmpbell and others of our people as entertainment when they go trough this shit.
let’s find her and get her help. Let’s reclaim one of our own and not judge her. In fact I put it to everyone who reads CL, to say a prayer for her as there is POWER IN PRAYER. And snitch damnit!! Be a telling motherfucker please! She neds help an intervention. You see this girl call the authorities or call someone who canhelp, a pastor a priest or her representation if you can!
She looks really bad in that pic and I think she is a really pretty girl. I knew that once her mother passed she was going to wild out a little bit. I just hope a family member or good friend can find her and get her some help.
Before her mother died she tried hard, along with everyone else to get her help. She just is so deep in this shit, that she can’t find her way out.
Addiction is no joke, but she also has some mental health issues — that’s a deadly combination.
I hops someone is raising her daughter.
I believe it, that shit when she was singing foolish was off the chain. And not in a good way XD.
shut the fuck up LaShonda u bleaching ass trick. gyal u aint shit so u don’t need to be making judgements bout other people or sending your prayers out to anyone. Pray for yourself bitch cos u gonna get murked by somebody soon. Hope ya get struck down, beat up, shot up, stabbed up, strung up pon de tree n brukked up. Me gonna send ya back to ya maker. gwan like u dark but im darker
Last time I saw her, she was in the Fat Joe video for What’s Love. That was five years ago. I used to really like this girl, when she was acting in In The House. I saw that crack video recently. This whole thing is truly sad.
I hope that she seriously gets some help. It’s horrid to see a sister destroying herself, like this!
@ 5.
You dumb ingnorant backward bitch. You and your thinking are one the main thoughtless jacked up components of the decline of blacks in western civilisation. You are for self, your own and couldn’t give a shit about someone i they are not immediate family or affecting/effecting you.
I pray for you and your ignornce because tht comment right there shows a lot about yourself. I hope and pray to GOD you never have to turn to “tricks” to support a severe habit, because when on drugs it is hard to find the will power to get off.
Step your thinking game up, try and say something positive because if Maia can get to a computer, even though a majority of these comments were compassionte all it takes is noe dumb bitch ass comment like yours to send someone to a place mentally they really shouldn’t and ultimately do not want to go.
Gasp… umm we should pray for her. Some stuff is funny when people fall off, but this is just sad.
who?
poor girl. shes so pretty wtf happened
#3 -Was Bebe Moore Campbell really writing about Maia in “The 72 Hour Hold”? I did not know she had a history of mental illness. Bless her heart.
And losing her mother probably has pusher her over the edge. We all gotta pray for her ..
22 watch who ya run ya mouf to. me no ignorant & u don’t kno me or my peoples so u need to watch yaself. get away wid ya gangster self. edyat. dis maia woman wasnt forced to eat all dat crack. she chose to n now she gotta deal wid the result. i aint gonna feel sorry for a dumb ass trick
I saw this story last week, they still aint found her? She lost her mother on her 30th Bday an now this………another black gurl lost
She would make a good Winter DDS. Sorry to hear that if its true, she is beautiful and needs to get it together asap. She probably gave that truck to the dope boys. SMH
This is truely sad. As harsh as this is, she won’t get the necessary help until SHE admits that she has a problem. I’ll just keep her in my prayers.
Does anyone know of something semi-recent she did that she was not all strung out looking on? I’m trying to see what she looked like since everyone keeps saying she was cute…
Unfortunately, seeing a beautiful, drugged out African-American female is not uncommon in the world today. The industry can be murder. I just hope that seeing her this way will keep others like her from potential destruction and cause anyone who can help someone in trouble, to do so. I know I am.
LL sittin at home like ” I knew that gurl couldnt handle that blow, I shoulda neva put her on dat raw”
I co-sign with #16. We do criticize our own and thats whats holding us back from progressing as people. I had a thing for Maia on In the House and thought she would eventually go onto better and brighter things. Things like this really make you feel blessed even if your life isn’t where you want it to be. Its actually sad to see this Queen like that. I’ll definitely keep her in my thoughts and anybody else suffering.
God Bless
@ SHANIQUA
she a human, she has history of drugs, she admittd to having some mental disorder (ie Bi-polar), her mother died just last year and she has had to grow up in a pressure cooker of a place like Hollywood, that eats up people and chews them out. Yes she may tok drugs willingly and had a somewhat priviliged life! So that means you have a right to make condensending remarks about her and come on the “loop” and act like some retarded gangster. YOU MAKE ME SICK YOU DUMB FUCK hve some compassion when things go terible for other people. Because if ah fight you waan a fight you ah go get. Becaause I HATE DESPISE PEOPLE LIKE YOU. My mother has saying:
IF you have nothing good to say SHUT UP! try it bitch
To be honest, I would give her crack if she would jump in front of my video camera and sing Chicken Noodle Soup with a Soda on the Side..
A let it rain, now clear it out!
@ BLK DDS. I just read that book like a month ago, good story. But she’s not who I would have pictured tho, someone a little younger with more attitdude for some reason I can see lil mama as Winter.
But I dont know if you have ever read Criminal Minded by Tracy Brown? Well if you have I would picture someone like Maia Campbell as Oliva.
Them dudes wasn’t up to no good when they “invited her to hang out”. It serveds them right!!
Damn. that is messed up, I hope her family and friends stop and get her help. losing her mom probably made her situation worse than what she already was.
If Britney Spears can get some help why cant she?
I’ll pray for her definitely

Cracky Campbell
Wow……..Britney can get some love, but this woman can’t and she going through it?I’m praying for her.
#40, thank you!
Actually, she’s bipolar. Her mother talked about it before she died.
Ay dios mio! After seeing that picture, now I remember her from ITH when she was younger. DAMN! I didn’t even recognize her, that’s effed up.
See what crack will do to ya?!
It’s really sad. We all need to pray for her.
Very sad! She was beautiful as Tiffany on “In The House” and even more beautiful in the Tyrese videos. She even had a record deal around the time she appeared in two of his videos.
She’s going through it yo plus her mom just passed last year.
This chick has one of most beautiful smiles I have even seen, reminds me of Janet’s. Get it together ma.
#37, I can definitly see Lil Mama as Winter!!
You should handle the casting..lol
Y’all need to get over this. I needed the jeep to get to my dealer’s crib. No one got hurt, my dealer’s happy and I’m happy so quit whining & praying.
I use to think she was sooooooo beautiful and now *SMH* This is really sad…..
#48 and #37:
Who is lil Mama?
You know, I would like to laugh but I can’t. (and that pic they posted ain’t helping it one bit) She really needs some help. I never thought as I watched In The House that she would turn out like this. She WAS a very beautiful girl. I’ll keep her in my prayers.
#49
I really dislike you right now. Not cool.
It is a shame. She has bipolar disorder and substance abuse is a huge part of how people affected with this illness cope. Her mom’s last book – 72 Hour Hold – was about this subject. It is a shame because her mother was her biggest advocate. And when bipolar people are in a manic state, there is very little they can do short of hospitalization and medication to help them. It is a shame whats happened to her, but she is not herself. I have a friend who lost his battle with this very serious disease. No laughing matter at all.
Remember that character that Alfie Woodard played in Holiday Heart (With Ving Rhames).
It looks like Maia Campbell has turned into that character.
Drugs is so addictive. Here is the Proof
* the above picture.
The Good News is that one can overcome Drug abuse.
All it takes is a good 12 step program, Rehab, NA Meetings, and the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
One CAN get their Life back through the Power of the Holy Spirit !
DDS, Lil Mama is a 17 year old rapper/singer/dancer.
She has that whole Bronx/Yonkers vibe to her.
She would be perfect for that part. Howver, she does have most irritating song in the would out right now. Anyway, here’s pic:
http://concreteloop.com/2...-mama-lip-gloss/lil-mama/
“Cocaine is a hellava drug”
She is too pretty for that. Thats a daymn shame so sad CRACK KILLS!
I have a LOT of questions..This is a strange story:
I wonder where LL Cool J, Alphonso Ribero & Debbie Allen are in this story.
It makes you wonder if they ever attempted a “Intervention” with Maia Campbell ??
Does anyone know if Maia Campbell has children ??
I read somewhere that she has a son.
If so, who is keeping her kids ???
Why was she in Germantown (Philadelphia) ??
Does she have family there ???
Why would those guys leave her in the car with the keys in the ignition, when everyone knows that she has a problem with substance abuse ???
This situation occured LAST WEEK (LAST Monday)
No one has found her or the car YET ??????
How many crack dealers or crack house could there be in Germantown/Philly ???
Why isn’t that she has turned up yet ???
Did anyone file a Missing Person’s report or is it That the Police doesn’t have the Time/Resouces to look for a Black Woman with a substance abuse issues..
This is all so sad.
I hope someone finds her in time
The Mind is a Terrible thing to Waste.
Peace
I hope someone finds her so she can get the help she desperately needs.
