The former MTV VJ's sister announced the news in a Facebook post shared on Wednesday, June 11.
In 2020, Lewis shared in an Instagram post that she had been diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. She said that she had not been getting regular mammograms because of her fear of radiation. In October 2024, Lewis took part in a roundtable discussion with CNN’s Stephanie Elam and Sara Sidner in which she revealed that she went against medical advice and did not have a double mastectomy after she was diagnosed. Her tumor metastasized and her cancer had progressed to stage IV, she shared at the time.
In an essay for Essence published in January, Lewis emphasized that "prevention is the real cure" for cancer, and urged women to pay attention to their bodies.
Lewis began working for MTV in 1997 and quickly became of their most popular hosts. She interviewed celebrities including Destiny’s Child, Brandy, NSYNC, Britney Spears and more. She also covered more serious topics for the network, including violence in schools and the 2001 death of Aaliyah, who was a friend of hers.
Lewis is survived by her son, Langston.
