Former Piston Jason Maxiell Admits To Cheating With 341 Women While On Television
It was not a good week for Jason Maxiell.
Jason Maxiell, who spent his first eight seasons in Detroit after he was taken in the first round of the 2005 NBA Draft, has risen back to the national spotlight after a segment he filmed over a year ago for the Oprah Winfrey Network’s show “Iyanla: Fix My Life”.

In it, Maxiell is seeking counseling for his marriage to his wife, Brandi. He had previously disclosed seeing eight women while married to Brandi, but the actual number, is much higher than he had shared with her before.
Brandi shared her reaction to the show preview hitting the airwaves with The Shaderoom:
“Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. Jason, Baby Jason and I needed that.
“I would like to say I’m more frustrated with him blurting out a number to the world without no regard for my feelings. 8 put a damper on our relationship and I was willing to work on it. Over 50 tore it down!
“My focus is and has been since we went on this show a year ago, is to shift my ENTIRE life from being a great wife and mother into being the best mother & person I can be! I’m aware that my son will someday come across this video and witness what the man of his life has done to his mother & how I stood by and basically did nothing. Therefore, I have to prepare myself for that conversation with him ‘without lies’ but with compassion for my son. I’m going to use very detail of my upbringing, my illness, my marriage, my life good or bad, to raise my child to learn how to first love & respect God, himself, women & all of God’s creations.
Show host Iyanla Vanzant shared her advice for Jason on her Twitter:

However, unelss we are willing to look the problem in the face will cannot discover the root or the cause. #FixMyLife
