ANANDA Lewis, the Talk show and 90s MTV host, has died after a long battle with breast cancer.
Her sister confirmed the news today in a heartbreaking post on Instagram.
She said: “She’s free and in his heavenly arms. Lord, rest her soul.”
In 2020, Ananda revealed she had been diagnosed with stage three cancer.
She said she had not been getting regular mammograms due to a fear of radiation.
In 2024, the late TV host revealed her cancer had reached stage four after she went against medical advice and refused a double mastectomy.
Ananda rose to fame in the late 90s when she landed a role as one of MTV’s VJ’s where she hosted the likes of Total Request Live and Hot Zone.
In 1999, The New York Times described her as “the hip-hop generation’s reigning It Girl.”
She left MTV in 2001 to host her own talk show, The Ananda Lewis Show.
