What REALLY Happened to Judy WInslow on 'Family Matters'?

For decades, people have joked that the youngest daughter Judy Winslow from Family Matters walked upstairs during an episode and was never seen again. That isn’t exactly how it all went down, but Jaimee Foxworth, the actress who played Judy, was indeed dropped from the show abruptly. Here’s what really happened to Judy Winslow and some secrets you might not know about Family Matters.

This is our first time doing a video about a sitcom. What did you guys think? Should we do more videos like this in 2021? ❤️

So without Jamie’s income, nobody else in the family was working? That’s a lot of pressure and stress for a child to be the bread winner for the entire family.

It's crazy how family members could look down on her when those same family members quit their jobs so that a 9 year old can take care of the entire family. I wish nothing but the best for her.

I love that Jo Marie fought to keep her on the show ❤️💖💗❣️✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Funny how people dog Jamie for doing Adult movies, yet they made Kim K FAMOUS, talk about double standard !

[doragemz]

She shouldn’t have been excluded from the reunion. Smh that’s crazy.

[MPPG]

The thought of a child being the family's breadwinner is absolutely absurd.

"Family Matters belongs in the era of life before cell phones" 👏🏾 exactly

The music industry and television industry are very toxic. I'm so happy she overcame her struggles and found her strength!

[darrylcarter]

As much as I love the fact the Family Matters decided to use Steve Urkel more, those executive producers really did Judy dirty.

[doeus]

A lot of unfair pressure her family put on her at a young age to be the main bread winner.

I've seen this girls story..She should write a book.

[DeeDeeRich]

In an interview Jaleel White stated that Foxworth's mother was also very overbearing and causing a lot of trouble for the producers. That may have also been a contributor. Something is really very wrong when a little girl becomes the breadwinner for a family.

If Urkel wasn’t on Family Matters I definitely wouldn’t have watched it but that’s scandalous how they did her.

[GearsinMotionGraphics]

Such a cute little girl... she kind of reminds me of Maia Campbell

Reality Gossip you never disappoint!!!!

[Three_Diamonds]

They said she went upstairs, & never came back down! 😂

[denysecollymore]

Wrong. They just did her wrong but at least she still can keep getting paid even tho she wasn't appearing on the show
Good luck. Your winning with that handsome youngman. Her son💞💞💞💞

She did turn out to be a beautiful young lady. It's so sad the way the producers just ex her off the show with no explanation. But then again, that's Hollywood for you. Sadly she had to turn to making adult movies just to survive. But regardless to her past, I'm glad to see she's doing ok with her handsome son. This is a dog eat dog world we live in and everyone has to do what they have to do to survive in it, no judgment here. I never knew why she was no longer on the show, thank you so much for sharing this story ❤

She should’ve been included. Her past life as an adult film actress was no excuse. And it’s not like she’s doing it currently. I could see if she was doing it currently or at the time of the reunion but she wasn’t.

If anything, the fact that she turned her life around like that after such a crushing disappointment, could’ve been such a testimonial! What a missed opportunity!
