further communications at that time. In 2016, Bond landed a producer role on Judge Judy. She set up a surprise appearance as new producer on the set of the court show for Byrd, thinking he would remember who she was because of a Facebook request he sent her once she landed the position. Byrd later admitted, however, only pretending to remember her when they reunited, privately questioning a fellow Judge Judy crew member who she was. If not for a photo that Bond still had of the two of them on the Sunset Bronson Studio lot back in 2012, Byrd has stated he would not have remembered who she was. For much of the 25th and final season of Judge Judy, Byrd's personal life revolved around attending to Bond as she had suffered a cancerous brain tumor in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. During that season, she was heavily involved in chemotherapy. By April 2021 after Bond's surgery, 95 percent of the tumor was successfully removed. As reported on Bonding with Byrd in late October 2021, she is continuing with chemotherapy.
