Lewis’ death was announced by her sister Lakshmi in a Facebook post after living with stage IV breast cancer. “She’s free, and in His heavenly arms ,” she captioned a picture of the music personality. “Lord, rest her soul.”

Lewis became well-known in the late 1990s when she was a VJ on Total Request Live and Hot Zone for MTV. She left MTV to host her own talk show, The Ananda Lewis Show, in 2001, which lasted for one season.

Later in her career, she hosted on the Entertainment Tonight spinoff The Insider, A&E’s America’s Top Dog and TLC’s While You Were Out, along with appearing on Celebrity Mole: Yucatán. Lewis was also a contractor and a carpenter.

Throughout her tenure in the media, Lewis interviewed Brandy, *NSYNC and Britney Spears among other major stars.

In 2020, Lewis revealed in an Instagram post that she was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, mentioning that she was not getting mammograms regularly due to a fear of radiation.

In October 2024, she took part in a roundtable discussion with CNN anchor Sara Sidner and CNN’s Stephanie Elam, the latter of whom had been her friend since college. During their discussion, she shared that she went against medical advice and did not undergo a double mastectomy, opting for a more holistic healing approach.

“My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent, I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made,” Lewis said at the time.

“I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way,” she added. “Looking back on that, I go, ‘You know what? Maybe I should have.’ “

Lewis is survived by her teenage son Langston.
