Jo Marie Payton Reveals How Family Matters RUINED Jaimee Foxworth

[@DanielMarrujo]

Yes She should Stay on that show and Fight It would be nice to see her grew up in the show all the way to the last season. But they do not do that. Now she's older now she can make her own show.

[@josephclegg3562]

Judy should have been there for family events or holidays or when the family went on trips and vacations or at least explained her absence.

[@lilsept77]

And no other productions didn't open doors for Jaimee to have her stay in the game.

[@SharitCreations]

JoMarie fought with higher ups to try & keep Jamiee on the show. No other cast member fought for Jamiee on the show. JoMarie was the only one who was on Jamiee's side. I admire JoMarie for that.

[@explosionsandstuff7787]

I remember an interview (I can't remember who it was with) where Jamiee's mom was negotiating her contract and demanded more money than the producers thought she was worth, and she refused to budge.

[@josephclegg3562]

Even if her mom did want Jaimee to get more money, that still wasn't a reason to ax her.

[@nsasupporter7557]

@@josephclegg3562well maybe not to you, but according to the producers she was a pointless character and Urkel was becoming the star of the show so they had to drop someone to make more room for him

[@josephclegg3562]

@nsasupporter7557 l understand what you're saying, but why established her character as being part of the family if they are only gonna get to oust her later and don't even mention her.

[@nsasupporter7557]

@@josephclegg3562 well unexpected things happen all the time, like unexpected change. They only planned on having Urkel for like 1 or 2 episodes but instead he became the whole show… which was completely unexpected. So due to positive feedback about Urkel, they wanted to get rid of another character to make more screen time for Urkel. Judy wasn’t the only one who vanished… Rachel and mother Winslow also pretty much disappeared, now they didn’t completely vanish like Judy did, but we definitely didn’t see them very much anymore either

[@Navaura]

I always wondered what happend to Judy and aunt Rachel and in disbelief when my daughter told me Harriet left. I never watched all the seasons.

[@shantarobinson8796]

Something could have been done to keep Judy on Family Matters

[@jerryturner2310]

She's not the first child to disappear from a show like they were never there. Anybody remember "Chuck Cunningham", Richie and Joanie's older brother from "Happy Days"? 2 episodes and gone. Like he was never born. Never spoke about again.

Brendan Lambert also was a disappearance from Step By Step during season 7.

[@jaysonsmith-xr9du]

Cosby Show was the opposite. There were only 4 kids with no mention of older daughter Sondra in the pilot back in '84. (Clair: "Why do we have four children?" Cliff: "Because we did not want to have five." )She didn't show or was not even mentioned til ep 10 of S1.

[@1986Glory]

They least could of gave a reason why Judy in the show like they could said she went to moved to another state to move with in With other relatives or all girls school how they could of dressed it up instead of just having her disappear with no explanation and they caused her to go astray

[@gereminguyen4923]

Her mom was her manager. Blame the parent for the ridiculous demands.

[@lianelayman6584]

Yea that's what I read that her mother was too much of a "stage mother"

[@LeemWills]

People say the mom was much but they really don't understand Hollywood. They low ball you with money just for the fame

[@JKaiserable]

@@LeemWills Need to understand that it’s a business, if your skill and character are worth the money you want, you’ll get it… if not, better be prepared to find a price thats worth it or they’ll let you walk, especially a child actor with no major story arcs.

[@earrickafarmer4909]

@@JKaiserablethat’s because they didn’t attempt to give her one as they should have as she was on 3 and a half seasons

[@nickdaman23]

Maybe the mother overreacted, but I can’t blame her think about it they didn’t focus on their daughter at all, They could’ve came up with some episodes that involve Julie more that’s all the mother was asking was to have some episodes about her like her life in the school. Her meeting a boy in her class, likes some thing. They could’ve been creative, and when they decided to get rid of her, which is the dumbest decision they ever made? How do you think no one would notice?

[@sheliaburchette6340]

I have mixed feelings about the cast members speaking up. But as far as the reruns are concerned, I think that we as viewers should not support watching any reruns. The people behind the scenes don't realize that the actors and actresses are receiving the attention and also the blame simply because the actors and actresses are out front. Getting rid of Judy was done in poor taste. They could have at least re-cast the "Judy" character.

[@Musiclover19]

Speak for yourself, if you don’t want to watch reruns of Family Matters, then don’t watch. But I currently am enjoying a rewatching binge watching of Family Matters and I’m sorry that first Urkel lacking season was hard to get through, they’re just weren’t funny. Plus I fail to see how not watching reruns of a show that has been cancelled over 20 years ago is going to prove anything, 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@RanVidOnl]

I can't believe I never notice Judy being missing and I watched it till the end.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Then you must’ve not payed much attention to it when watching it! 😳 how could you not notice that she disappeared in the middle of it! I loved it and I watched it religiously as a kid and I wondered why Judy was no longer on it in the later seasons

[@DeeNice681]

Jaimee should write a book, but her mom wouldn’t like it!

[@michaelbrantley.8628]

I love this show from the beginning to the end Jamie foxworth who played Judy Winslow on family matters she was a great actress she deserves my respect and finally she when upstairs and never heard from again without a trace without the permission them producers did her dirty she deserves to come back to the sitcom back to the show.

[@Boobalopbop]

While I sumpathize with her struggles to get on her feet an alcoholism, how can we blame her leaving the show at what? 6 years old to her doing porn at 19? Even if she never got another acting gig, she could have just gone to school and have a normal kid life. Perhaps, her parents didn’t want that and wanted her to keep making money? She keeps saying “I thought the money was never going to stop”.:. why was a 6 year old even thinking about money? Sounds like she had terrible stage parents who had her believing her was her job to make them money. That’s sad, and I hope it wasn’t wven more sinister where she believed since she was a child the only way to make money was from sex. God I hope that wasn’t the case though I won’t be surprised.

I have watched this show for years and I was wondering what if Jaleel white was not in the show what would happen and next question is , when Jaleel played Myrtle and Steve in some scenes who were there doubles?

[@DeeNice681]

It would have been canceled, and I hated hearing how much of a tyrant Jaleel was behind the scenes. But respect has to to be given, that show would have been canceled without Jaleel!

[@Musiclover19]

I can tell you exactly what would have happened to Family Matters if Jaleel White hadn’t joined the cast. The show would have been over after the first season. The excs at ABC were already telling the producers if ratings don’t pick up, the show would have been cancelled after its first season. Then the character of Urkel came along and brought those ratings and is the single biggest reason why the show lasted 9 seasons. Sorry but the Winslow family by themselves were boring and NOT funny. I’m currently rewatching the series on Hulu, that first half season that had no Urkel (other than the cold openings that they added later in syndication to add more Urkel in those episodes that didn’t originally feature him) was really hard to get through.

[@Boobalopbop]

But he’s right… Nobody did notice
