The LA Times: Maia Richards takes on Hot Girl Summer

After a brutal beatdown on Instagram Live, the Stranger Things actress has left the East Coast for sunny LA. Though social media has been rampant since college hooper Paige Bueckers made nasty comments about Richards, the actress has seemingly taken it in stride. Maia has since switched out Bueckers for Brink, her longtime friend and rookie for the LA Sparks. Even with Cameron Brink's season-ending acl injury the two have taken the scene by storm, embodying the rising trend of Brat Summer. Between parties hosted by former co-star Ayo Edebiri (celebrating The Bear's third season), singer Billie Eilish (teasing an upcoming project with Charli XCX), and NBA superstar Steph Curry (Brink's godbrother), the duo have turned summer into one big, nonstop party. Maia and Cam may just be the new 'it' girls - but don't let the preoccupied, "party girl" persona fool you. Amid all the socializing, glitter, and glam, industry insiders suggest that Maia's new image may be an escape from inner turmoil. Although neither Bueckers nor Richards have commented on the situation, fans have taken it upon themselves to dissect all the details in Maia's new facade - I mean, her new look.

People Magazine: SkeeYee! Maia Richards Spotted in VIP at Sexyy Red concert

Bodies Bodies Bodies actress Maia Richards turned heads at last night's highly anticipated Sexyy Red concert. Amidst drama with collegiate basketball player Paige Bueckers, the actress has escaped to southern California in search of a good time. And she's found it - yesterday's outing was just the latest in a string of VIP-only entertainment. Stunning in a red leather jacket and oversized shades (presumably borrowed from WNBA rookie Nika Mühl), Richards spent the night singing and dancing. With best friends Hailey Van Lith (TCU) and Cameron Brink (LA Sparks) in tow, the actress has definitely made the past couple weeks nothing but memorable.

TMZ: Inside Maia Richards' wild party for Olympian Hailey Van Lith

Off to the races! With the Olympic games set to commence in exactly a month, Maia Richards (Fear Street, Mean Girls) has her priorities straight. In a lavish event held last Tuesday, Richards celebrated high school friend and 4-time gold medalist Hailey Van Lith ahead of her 2024 Olympic appearance. Van Lith, who will represent Team USA in the 3x3 women's basketball event, showed up and showed out in all-purple LV attire. Partnered with her new best friend Cameron Brink, Richards pulled out all the stops, lighting up the Hollywood Hills from a private villa. Between the 7-acre property, designer outfits, and surprise performance from Sabrina Carpenter, the actress made sure to create an unforgettable night.

"Maia outdid herself," said a source. "She's practically living on overdrive. I mean, this was her third high-profile event in under a week, and she showed no sign of exhaustion. Just dancing the night away, taking pictures, catching up. It makes you wonder, you know - what's she running from?"
