What Happened To Golden Brooks From 'Girlfriends'? - Unforgotten 

She played the hell outta Mya on Girlfriends to the point where I actually believed she was really living that kind of life!! 😫😆

No funding for Girlfriends but the Game has been revived for the 50th time! 🙄 We need a Girlfriends reboot!!! Black-ish is done so there’s no excuses!!!

She was the finest to me on the Girlfriends’s show. It was her eyes and legs than caught my eye and was one of my teenage crush. Wish her the best.

Golden Brooks had the prettiest eyes!!! Honestly that entire cast of women were all FINE & GORGEOUS 😍

I met her about 7 years ago at Ralph's Grocery store off Saticoy. I started studdering when I 1st met saw her 😔...That was embarrassing because she told me to "Take a Breath". I did exactly what she said & had taken a breath & attempted to be cool. She laughed & gave me a hug. Very beautiful woman. She talked about how tough it was for Black Women to get good roles in Hollywood. Classy woman.

Girlfriends simply need to turn into a movie franchise.

I'm surprised she ain't appeared in any of Tyler Perry shows or movies. I'm sure Tyler could hook her up in Atlanta.

She is a very nuanced actress. Very talented. She's also down-to-earth, used to chat with her on IG. I wish her all the best.

Thankfully for her, Girlfriends was put on Netflix. I’m sure that’s a good residual check for her and good exposure. She deserves so much. She is an unbelievably talented actress. Disregard her one liners and funny clap backs on girlfriends. Maya was emotional, sensitive, raw. The scene where Darnell says he’s leaving, broke me. The scene after the miscarriage was beautiful. She was so good.

I loved Brooks as Maya in Girlfriends, she's still beautiful till this day.

I loved her in Girlfriends but I personally thought Jill Marie Jones was the finest at the time. Golden portrayed her character really well though. To this day Girlfriends is one of my favorite shows. I remember going so far as to cuss out one my cousin's friends when they were both still playing Madden when Girlfriends came on one night lol

I'm sure she still gets residual checks from the show being syndicated on streaming services or TV. She's doing great. Having a family and living life her way. Oh and I met her in real life here in Vegas years ago. Amazing moment.

Golden Brooks is an amazing actress and I love her work. I always enjoy rewatching Girlfriend's and she's one of my favorite on that series. How can we ever forget, "Oh HEELLLLLLLLL NO!" Whenever I see her interviews with her, she is always eloquent and we'll-spoken. Also, I always thought she was a gorgeous lady with a lovely name. ✨💜

Aww her daughter looks just like her dad aww so beautiful young black princess 👸🏾

Random observation: every female character on that show had a four letter name

The only receptionist who was able to keep her job for not doing any work at all🤣🤣🤣love me some Mya! Oh heeelllllll naaawwhhhh🤣

I didn't even know she was older than the other girls. She looks great

"have you thought of auditioning for the kabuki" 😂😂 I love that scene in girlfriends

I loved her as Maya.

Appreciate this informative video updating us on Golden Brook's status. I was and still am a fan of this Lovely Queen. When I lived in Southern Cal during the early 2,000's, the show Girlfriend's was taped with a live audience at the UPN/Paramount studious on Sunset at Gower. The show taped on Tuesdays live and aired on Thursdays. It takes several hours to tape a half-hour show ( actually 20 mins of air time,) with dozens of breaks to set up the different camera angles and sets. During those breaks the cast members would often come to the audience railings and sign autographs and answer questions. Between the four main characters consisting of Golden Brook's, Persia White, Jill Marie Jones and Tracee Ellis Ross, the only two that were down to earth, friendly and reacted with the audience's were guess who? Golden Brook's and Persia White... Tracee and Jil-Marie would sit in chairs farthest away from the audience with their arms folded across their breast yet constantly watching Golden & Persia interact with the audience. I'm not gonna bad mouth JIll nor Tracee, yet I kinda lost my fondness for both. I was actually surprised by Jil because prior to her acting on that show she was a cheerleader for both the Dallas Mavericks and Cowboys. Actors don't owe us as fans anything in my opinion yet a simply hello holds some weight. Despite this I still enjoyed the show with all they're acting abilities, the content and the husband & wife producer team of Salim Akil & Mara Brock Akil. Once again thanks for the upload. Peace

I don't blame you for reading what was written it was a 'Cult Classic' if you were speaking on a mainstream platform maybe, but you're speaking to us; IT WAS A CLASSIC.

She is such a great actress. I love her work.

I’m a Blackman and girlfriends is my favorite show. They had the sexiest intro and the finest blackwomen on a tv Series .🖤🖤🖤🖤

Good video!! I loved her character in "Girlfriends".

We didn’t forget. We just remember her conduct on Hollywood Divas. Oh we’ll never forget that.

What happened to Brooks? Nothing, she still fine, that’s what happened 🤣

Her daughter is so lovely. This makes me want to cry. You made me wanna cry..

Girlfriends is an amazing series. I think every single girlfriend can relate to at least one episode. They were also ahead of their time with the subjects for the show.

Talent like that you can't keep down. Golden Brooks will get another big time role.

TBH I wasn't feeling her personality on LA Divas just a bad look and a desperate attempt to to stay relevant. 🤦‍♂️

Before She Was Maya Wilkes On "Girlfriends". She Was In The Showtime TV Show "Linc" Back In The Late '90's

Maya and Lynn were my favorites growing up, I thought they were the finest. As I’ve gotten older it’s shifted more to Toni and Maya

I love Maya & her "Oh hell no!" saying. Lmao. Maya & Darnell are a great couple. Golden Brooks is a great actress

Maya was the most iconic on Girlfriends, Golden Brooks was and still is phenomenal 👏 👏 👏.

Please do Anne Marie Johnson. She did some appearance on Girlfriends. She was also on In the heat of the night and a few movies. I’d love to know how she’s doing. She was a really funny actress.

I was introduced to Golden Brooke's from Girlfriends and ❤ loved her character Maya but the way she acted on Hollywood Divas & treated Countess Vaughn made me side eye her ijs

They deserve a girlfriends movie!! And we deserve to watch it 🙂

Very well done! She is definitely a star🤩celebrity that cannot be denied 💯

She’s so dope, I’ve loved this actress when I first saw her on girlfriends. Such a beautiful spirit she has…

I absolutely LOVE her and hope to see her in many more films/tv shows!!❤️❤️❤️

"*LINKS*"! That's the name. I've been trying to find this show for years and couldn't remember the name. The sister indeed was a very memorable character. Thank you!

Maybe Mara Brock Akil and Tyler Perry can partner up an create a reboot with ALL of the original characters. Just a thought. I know Tyler Perry is producing Sistas but Girlfriends need a movie or a short lived 12 episode series. Somethin.

I always thought she used too much makeup. She's naturally adorable with great cheekbones & has flawless skin...

Always loved her and her style. Many blessings and love to you

Her eyes are hypnotic

50 yrs young and was an amazing actress on Girlfriends. Looks even better without make-up!

“Oh Hell No” Classic Lines

I remember her from the 50 Cent Straight to the bank video😂

In my opinion, she was the prettiest one on Girlfriends.

These videos from you guys... There too much. I love these characters, I legit love that show; Girlfriends, an hearing how she's been doing, it's great but now I feel like she's a Great girlfriend I lost....

Just a few days ago, I was just asking my Wife About Her. Loved her character in girlfriends.

I loved her character the most on gf. I would love to know what happened to her candle and pillow business

Oh yes Golden Brooks was my favorite on the show of girlfriends I used to watch that show a lot mainly because of her

most definitely! She was my favorite of GF's

She stands out to me 💜💙🥺 of being my favorite 🙏

When she cheated on Darnell I never forgave her Lls

Hollywood Divas was not a good look for her, I was cool until than. The show made her look crazy af

That music in the background tho..🔥

Y'all need to find the lightskin lady from "in the heat of the night" Vegil Tips Wife. Y'all the lady from "I'm get u sucka" she took off all the "Fake parts". The lady From "Strictly Business" Peace.

This woman is very beautiful I haven't forgotten her gorgeous as hell!❤

I did a photo shoot with her and found her delightful.

Spend all your time waiting 🎶 For that second chance For a break that would make it okay There's always some reason To feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction Oh a beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty Oh and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of the angel 🎵 Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line 🎶 And everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back And the storm keeps on twisting You keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference Escaping one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness Oh this glorious sadness 🎵 That brings me to my knees In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here 🐈🐈‍⬛🐱🐶🐕🐩🌄🕊🕊🙏🥺😢

I for one, would like to see more of her.

I would love for Girlfriends to get a reboot. I loved that show ❤... I think poor script ✍ writing towards the end killed that show... I loved Maya & Darnell... They were attractive and sexy together...

I'm more interested in what happened to Persia White

I always loved this show! They were all so fly, reminded me of my friends and I 💪

Notice a lot of the comments are about all about appearance. This is whats wrong with society ppl. I personally have witnessed how much of a drama queen she was, full of attitude and feeling like the world owed her something. All are unattractive traits to those who really pay attention. Thats where shes been....home because its one thing to be pretty, but another thing when you difficult to work with.

She was fire in Motives with shamar Moore & vivca Foxx & Guy torry Like she made me how much I love black woman at 13 years old that little hot body ❤️❤️❤️🥰😍

Yo , that whole cast was fine for real !! All of those black women had something special going on. Tracy was my favorite, Brooks was definitely runner up however I could close my eyes and take any one of them. Lol 😆

Oh hell no!!!! She used say that in girlfriends 🤣

No1 forgot her. We remember how she acted on Hollywood Divas. That wasn't acting. She was good on Girlfriends nonetheless

great video, I learn so much more about Golden that I didn't know.

I can't explain it but whatever it is she got it. Been crushing on this lady since the first time I saw her.

Glad she still getting work it’s always good too see black queens still grinding being a mother and an actress 🎯🎯

No funding for a Girlfriends movie but they did it for Sex in the City. SMH

I was just thinking about her. Thanks for the video

Miss Golden Brooks play her role as Maya on Girlfriends pretty good show back in the day in my opinion but when she was on LA Divas her ATTITUDE was HORRIBLE I guess y'all wanted to leave that part out for whatever reason. The way she talked to and treated Candice Vaughn also the other ladies like she was beneath them all smh I did NOT like it that's how you know you met the real Golden Brooks that's why she probably have not worked in a sturdy role since Girlfriends. The reason she did not get the role in Lethal weapon is because from what I read she was horrible when it came to reading the script they could not believe it also again her attitude and she was known as one of the mean girls in Hollywood back in the day, but again I guess y'all left that out for a reason I wish her nothing but the best I will always loved her ass Maya tho.

Girlfriends came out in the early 2000's. Her career started in the early 90's with a guest role on " The Adventures of Pete & Pete " . Fix your description , smh.

Golden Brooks was Mya Wilkes, so sassy and so beautiful at the same time loved it

She was my crush 🥺 I still would like to take her out to a nice dinner.

B E A U T I F U L!! I miss Golden, she had a sensuous tone about her!!

I only wished they had finished the show. I was happy that they did a kind of reunion on Blackish. But we needed Khalil Kain and Keisha Sharpe and Richard T Jones with them.

She is a great actor.

Toni and mya was the prettiest on the show , Toni was more beautiful then all 3 of them , but mya was prettier the next in line after Toni

i miss the other guy's voiceover but good job!

daughter look just like the daddy!

I love her as Cici,on Lynx, HBO,she's underrated.

Loved her on Girlfriends! But couldn’t stand her attitude on Hollywood Divas!

I’ve always liked Golden❣️

Her daughter look's just like her mother, Just a lil mini-me of the mom. Hopefully, things would be looking up for golden brook's.

Great commentary about Golden Brooks 👍‼️

She did a lot of movies ❤️

She is a beautiful woman!!! I wish her the best!!! I did learn a lot from Girlfriends!!!

Saw her in tv mini series, I believe name was In The Nite and she was great

Unforgotten and still loved 🥰

Love Golden, she reminds me of one of my cousins

In order to get ahead in Hollywood, we must network together and create, and build our own institution of film and television shows, we can not wait on anyone else to hand us anything worth having, this is why we should always collaborate, to bring about a positive change in everything we do!!! How long will it take before we realize we must do positive things on our own???

Love Golden Brooks

The girl that played Lin was was gorgeous too but Ms. Golden was the most beautiful to me on the show.

I love her she always been so beautiful and fine ugh my girl brook is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
