Beloved former MTV VJ and talk show host Ananda Lewis has sadly passed away. Her death was announced by her sister, Lakshimi, in a heartfelt Facebook post on Wednesday, June 11, where she wrote: “She is free and in His heavenly arms… Lord rest her soul.”
Ananda had publicly revealed in 2020 that she was battling stage III breast cancer, a diagnosis she initially kept private. She shared that her decision to avoid routine mammograms out of fear of radiation led to a late diagnosis.
In an emotional interview at the time, she explained: “I couldn’t handle doing such a drastic surgery in my life at that time.
“I was a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling my son. Cancer doesn’t come and replace all the other stuff you have to do. Cancer happens on top of your life, and for me, it was just too overwhelming in the beginning”
