Didn’t she just get married like a year ago or two ago? Didn’t she move back to Atlanta and bought a house to be with this man? I don’t think his name is on the house, I believe she started that process before they got married. TBH, I felt like Maya got married to him fast. I wonder what went down. She is saying she won’t say what happened, and that’s her right. She says there’s no bad blood. But then on her TikTok she talks about how TT made her realize she’s always the one having to have the plan, the wallet, make sure she got the keys, etc. she never said that was what her divorce was about but ladies, we usually say what we have to say without saying it lol. I do love her content but from the minute she got engaged, she started doing that weird thing women do when they center their entire lives around their relationship.

i have a friend, were wtih their partner years, had teh BIG wedding, and it lasted 6 months after it was revealed to her not only had he kept a HUGE secret from her all that time, he'd had his whole family do so as well. she filed the next day. sometimes it doesn't matter if you're together a decade or six months, if somehting happens after the arriage, something happens
This is me, I am that person. We were together 6 years, got married and I separated from him 6 months later.
There were some red flags that I shouldn’t have ignored, but he REALLY ramped up the emotional and verbal abuse after we got married. I lasted half a year.
I’m so glad you got out!
Oh no that’s very true. I’ve seen it happen as well and I applaud those who end it immediately vs staying around and trying to live and work through the betrayal and mistrust. I just feel like Maya moved way too fast, like did she really vet him or did her desire to just be married kinda fuzzy some things up for her. I’ve seen marriages last years after only knowing each other for months so I know quick marriages can be successful, but I believe in Maya’s case she overlooked some things. Judge Mabelline would say “look deep before you leap.”
Have you heard of the bride that decided to file for divorce soon after her wedding because the groom smashed her face into their wedding cake after she specifically told him not to well in advance?
If I'm remembering the right story, her family was also terrible, especially her mother, and she overlooked some red flags in the fiance because she had been groomed to accept the abuse by her family. I think she got out and went NC with everyone.
What was the huge secret? I’m nosy
Yesssss this is the thread I’ve been waiting for but I figured no one on BGC would care about Maya or I’d be called nutty for analyzing her marriage.
It’s been less than a year. Like 9 months or so. I stopped watching her content consistently when it became primarily vlogs instead of makeup content. I watched a few wedding related videos as I’m engaged as well. So when I went to go rewatch some stuff I saw she was already getting a divorce. I thought it was funny that they did the immediate family ceremony and decided to cut the big wedding. Then some commenters mentioned it was only her family at the wedding and none of his. It also sounds like he had kids of his own???
It may be a mystery forever. But Maya has a daughter she needs to worry about.
It seems things really went left when his kids came to visit and she was doing everything for them cause he had to “work”. Straw that broke the camel’s back. Now he’s being weird on IG and continuously rebranding
Yep, I believe so too. I was wondering if he really was “working.” I know I saw some comments elsewhere about how men from Atlanta are scammers (and a lot are). I don’t think she bargained for all of that but some of that is her fault.
Please, what's his IG username
Yeah, he had kids and I remember the vlogs when she was moving and having the house renovated, I think she mentioned it. I think she went really fast because she came off as one of those women dying to be married. She seems like a really sweet, genuine person too and she even spoke about how when you’ve only seen unhealthy examples, it’s kind of ingrained in you. I was surprised she moved that fast with a preteen daughter. I kind of pulled back from her content consistently when she became all my man my man my man, like her whole personality became being a wife that prayed and got a good man and now she is the example lol. I wish her the best. I do love her content and wish she did more makeup stuff again, because I loved her makeup content.
I stopped watching her when she was doing those dumb solo dates and trying to manifest a relationship. Just felt cringe and I do not like vlogs. I followed for makeup not fake advice and lifestyle content.
Sammee I liked her bbl vlog because it was in depth. But that was it.
Heavy on the fake advice and lifestyle content! I just unsubscribed to her now because all she keeps posting are things like how to elevate your life, how to reinvent yourself as a woman, how to rebrand yourself etc It’s getting really old and from someone that is just recently going through a divorce I think she should heal on her own and not try to give advice to others…
Yikes, i was hoping the new family was just taking a break from the camera, i feel so bad for Maya's daughter, this must feel uncomfortable.
Maya strikes me as "As long as god is doing her a favor she doesn't bother to check the warning signs". Did this bum know she was a vlogger and was just waiting to leech off her?
Yes he knew. I also feel bad for Maya’s daughter because I wonder if there was even time for her to adjust to the engagement, marriage and move because it all happened seemingly at the same time, and now the divorce. To pile on to that, her mom is a vlogger and her life is lived on social media.
Lord this is a whirlwind. Lipstick Alley has it all catalogued if you wanna see how it all played out. Feel bad mostly for her daughter she pushed to the side for that bum
I haven’t been on there in a long time. You have the cliff notes or must I venture over? 😂
Girl…it was so much but basically after her whole “solo date” series. -Moved to ATL -Met dusty at a realtor event -Went on a few dates (could’ve only been 2 ) -Moved in her house gave him a key -let him come over as soon as she got the house -started talking about preparing for wife life -a few months in or less gets engaged -dusty moves in her house (claims he sold his home doubt he really had one) -has a small ceremony with just her family (could tell her family didn’t approve) -took a trip on HER dime and dusty couldn’t even be bothered to dress properly -dusty continues doing as dusty does and tries to be an influencer -she starts slacking on her content and it’s always my man my man -her daughter gets distant with her since she’s basically brushed her off since moving and getting involved with brokey -his kids come visit she does all the work he don’t do shit -silence then suddenly she acting single talking about reflecting blah blah -reveals kind of? That they divorced and now she learning from her mistakes
I’ve most likely missed A LOT that went down in this timeline just know it was short af to go from dating to marriage that didn’t even last a year
💀💀💀
In the words of Drake, “four words when I think him is crusty, musty, dusty, rusty.” 😌I couldn’t remember how they met, but he was supposedly a realtor or broker I think. She met him when or around the time she found that house. I wouldn’t doubt that he preyed on her because men can ALWAYS sniff those type of women out—the ones who are longing to be married and who somewhat gullible and what they deem as easy marks. Once she got back to STL after closing and I feel like she announced their relationship around that time too, she was def my man my man my man and it started irritating me. Then she started doing that “pray your husband into your life” stuff and I was definitely like this is enough. I wondered how her family truly felt about him. I wondered how her daughter truly felt because if I felt I was being taken too fast, I know Amarah did. I don’t think Jeff had a home, I think Jeff was a hobosexual. I think always allowed her to introduce him to the influencer world so that he can reap all the benefits and now “reinvent himself.” I could not find that thread when I looked last night but I’ll check again. I hope Maya really learned from this huge mistake.

Dusty!!!! Yooo 😭😭😭
Do you mind dming the thread cause all I can find is two threads on her with little info.
Right cause I still can’t find it. I quit looking lol. Or at tell us the name of it if you can.
I knew from jump it wouldn’t last because his face was hidden from her ig page right up until she married him red flags galore!
I thought he was gay I’m not gonna lie. 😂
She was riding on TT coat tails to get views. She use to block people when they voiced their "opinion" and even called out a woman on tik tok for telling her her marriage is not going to last a year. Look at her now.
I remember that. I feel like Maya was desperate to be married and those situations always end in disaster. I do not think she fully vetted this man nor did she really know this man before moving him into her house and getting married. I also feel like he saw a lick and hit it. He saw desperation and latched on.
Found Jeff on tinder he is looking for short term fun wish I could post screen shot lol
😂😂
Yall watch her recent video, she addresses her divorce & other questions that her subscribers have while she does her makeup
