  1. A part of my teen years passed along with her today. I enjoyed her. Rest easy Ananda.

  2. “In October 2024, Ananda revealed in an interview that her breast cancer had escalated to Stage 4, after she previously declined to get a mastectomy for treatment.”

    Cancers can obviously be in the chest wall but, as a woman, that tissue would have to go.  

  3. How sad. I haven’t seen her on anything in a while, but my generation grew up watching her on MTV. RIP.

  4. Damn. I watched her almost everyday as a teen. Condolences to her family. She was a big part of the last 90s and early 2000s

  5. Passed away at 52, gone too soon. I hope she rests in peace.

  6. RIP to her and my sympathy to her family and beloved.

  8. Damn, very sad to hear RIP. She was great at MTV. Fuck Cancer

  9. The woo woo crystals and “holistic” homeopathy nonsense was not an effective treatment? Didn’t outperform conventional treatment?

  11. Amanda Lewis’s death feels so senseless. She had early-stage breast cancer; treatable, survivable. But instead of getting radiation, she followed advice from people pushing unproven “alternatives.” I’m not against alternative medicine, but the lack of regulation in this space and the charlatans who exploit vulnerable people is infuriating. She didn’t need to die. This shouldn’t have happened.

    She spoke out and expressed her regret, and said by the time she realized it wasn’t working the cancer had metastasized.

  12. She was not just an MTV VJ but a host of Teen Summit on BET

  13. She gave interviews & hosting on MTV major spice when it was boring🥺rest easy beautiful angel

  14. This breaks my heart. I admired her. She was so pretty and intelligent. I tried to get my hair like hers when I was younger.

  17. Her kid just graduated TODAY…thats so sad. My condolences. I was flipping the channel and I saw her on this OWN show doing construction. I thought she was doing well. Sad she never picked up many hosting gigs lately and she was in a hospice.

  19. Just her face brings me back to the good times! So damn sad.

  20. RIP this is tragic but it seems like it could’ve been avoided.

    Lewis refused medical treatment for her cancer, saying in 2024 that her plan “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 […] I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way.”
