Entertainment Weekly posted a photo of the “Family Matters” cast recently, stirring rumors of a possible reunion. In EW’s eyes, the cast seems to be really open to a reunion.
“There’s just something really magical about this cast and the real feelings that are here,” Telma Hopkins—who played Rachel, Hariette’s widowed live-in sister—said at our special reunion. “It wasn’t just for the screen. Family really did matter and still does.”
It was noticed immediately that Jaimee was not included.
Check out the post below.

The Root reached out to find out why Jamiee wasn’t in the photo.
Jaimee says she wasn’t invited to the photo shoot and attributes this to her appearances in the adult film industry.
The Root writes:
“I was not invited at all. I wasn’t even contacted,” Foxworth said in an interview with The Root.
“Shawn (Waldo) sent me a text two days before it was released. He asked if anyone contacted me, and he just wanted to let me know that EW contacted them to do a reunion cover. And he just didn’t want me to be shocked when it came out,” Foxworth continued.
Foxworth may not have been shocked by the time the story and photo shoot was published on EW, but she was upset. After years of taking the high road, she’d had enough. Not only were people on social media questioning EW’s motives, so was she.
“The people in the picture are more important than the picture itself. It was a slap in the face from Entertainment Weekly. I don’t think there’s any good explanation. If they want to use adult films as the reason, I’m not the first person to do adult films and won’t be the last,” Foxworth said.
They do her so wrong smh.
Oh well when people do stuff like that they need to think about the consequences and repercussions of their actions you can’t be a child star do porn and then go back to TV as that child star grown up you supposed to set an example for the younger generation and if naked pictures or videos start to come out after the show is on the air it’s going to damage the brand. I don’t know what made her go and do porn whether she was on drugs or what have you but this is just a lesson learned. Nobody legit is going to want to touch you be affiliated after you do something like that. She did herself wrong. Is this the little girl who went upstairs and never came back down? LOL
I took the words right out I my mouth!!
Well said u took the words right out of my mouth!!
She was kicked off the show and was never an important part of the cast. Of course she was left out of the reunion.
