Since divorcing Tamra Judge, Simon Barney seemed to readjust quite nicely into normal life. Unfortunately, he found himself back in the spotlight after revealing his cancer diagnosis to People in 2020. “I’m a private person, despite what my time on reality television might say,” shared Barney. “But I wanted to speak before someone else does and uses their words, not mine. And to speak out about it so others can see how I’ve taken this fight on with optimism, and the good this has ultimately brought my life.” At the time, Barney had stage 3 throat cancer, which required chemo and radiation, described as Barney as “almost worse than the cancer.”

Barney struggled especially hard during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Tamra Judge, who, in an odd twist of fate, became one of Barney’s support systems. “I am worried about Simon,” Judge said to Us Weekly. “As you all know, last month he went public with his cancer diagnosis. Having a disease that compromises his immune system means that this could be lethal for him.” Fortunately, Barney appears to be doing well today. In 2022, Judge updated fans yet again on Barney and offered up some encouraging news. “He’s doing okay, he’s doing okay,” shared Judge during an episode of “Watch What Happens Live” (via Bravo). She added, “I mean, he’s still fighting the fight. He’s doing okay.”
