STRUGGLING THROUGH THE YEARS

Since making a name for herself on the '90s sitcom "Family Matters," Foxworth has had her fair share of battles. After four seasons of playing Judy Winslow, she was written off the show and left jobless.

At 19-years-old, she ended up doing adult films to try and make ends meet. After quitting, she continued to struggle with substance abuse. By 2008, she appeared on "Celebrity Rehab," where she began to stop her addiction.

CHANGING HER WAYS

In the same year, she revealed she was expecting a child with her longtime boyfriend, Michael Shaw. It was the realization that she was about to be a mother that got her to sober up.

According to Jaimee, she knew she would not be able to properly care for her child if she was doing drugs and occasionally drinking. To her, it was more important to function well daily and that was all for her child.

OVERCOMING MARITAL TROUBLES

Their son Michael Douglas Shaw Jr. was born on May 29, 2009, and was healthy. However, when their son was four-months-old, Jaimee filed a restraining order against her boyfriend for physical and verbal abuse.

Given that he is doing his responsibilities well and has shown dedication to their family, she ultimately gave him a second chance.

Previously, "Family Matters" star Darius McCrary revealed the real reason why Foxworth was kicked out of the sitcom without formal closure. At the time, it was revealed that her disappearance from the show was actually a means for the production to cut costs.

However, it turned out that there was an underlying reason why she was booted out, and it was because Jaimee's mom felt that her character was not being given priority. The producer took this as a slap in the face and wrote her off entirely.
