[edit] Career
Jaimee Foxworth began modeling at the age of five, soon appeared in national television advertisements, and ultimately landed the role of Judy Winslow, the youngest of the Winslow family's three children, on the long-running sitcom Family Matters. After the show's fourth season, the character was written out of the series without explanation. Subsequent episodes have the Winslows acknowledging only two children.[1]
With very little acting work coming in the years after Family Matters, Foxworth formed a short-lived musical group with her two sisters. Eventually, she battled substance abuse (alcohol and marijuana), depression and destitution prompted in part by a judge's ruling that her trust fund of more than $500,000 be used to save her family from bankruptcy.[2] Foxworth later switched briefly to adult films, her pornographic career lasting two years in a number of appearances.[citation needed]
[edit] Personal life
In 2008, Foxworth addressed her substance abuse issues by taking part in the reality television show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. On his July 17, 2008 radio show Dr. Drew Live, Dr. Drew Pinsky briefly mentioned that he suspects Foxworth is still using cannabis.
In December 2008, People magazine reported that Foxworth was pregnant, with she and her boyfriend expecting their child to be born in the spring of 2009. The magazine also reported that Foxworth was working on a music career and a reality show, and expected to release her autobiography in 2009.[3]
On May 29, 2009 People magazine reported that Foxworth and longtime boyfriend, Michael Shaw, welcomed a boy, Michael Douglas Shaw Jr. He was 10 days overdue and Foxworth shared the news of his birth while still in the delivery room via text message.[4]
In the fall of 2009, the TV One series "Life After" chronicled Jaimee's story, dealing with her departure from "Family Matters", the pornographic films and her subsequent marijuana use, which she claims to have stopped smoking. During the show, her newborn son is shown.
