@tree 6 That is her real hair. My mother had hair that was down to the middle of her back. Black women can grow long hair. As for makeup , she has make up on to accent the beauty the Most High already blessed her with. Please stop being negative. Can she get some love and complements? Maybe this is why she stopped being on TV. Sad.
@@allpeacepearson5080 I think they meant to type "doesn't " because they were responding to the person who said it was "makeup and weave" and called them a hating neanderthal.
@@blessedandfavored9242 You must be young or something because that's real hair growing out of her scalp and she's never worn that much makeup on TV..She's just a natural beauty. It was always like that and she's never really changed how she styled it. Besides I know many black women with that same kind of hair..We're not all the same period.
It looks like she walked into 2019 from the 90's because it doesn't look like nothing changed about her physically and dare I say she looks even better now
I never said that they were identical folks, just that they could pass for sisters because you know, sisters have similar features, but interpret it as you will. All gorgeous women.
Went to high-school with her and her sister! She is one of the most beautiful souls (inside and out) I have ever met!!!! ❤❤❤ to her and her family! (THANK YOU FOR SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES @ SCPA)
There's something about brown skin chicks with curly natural hair ... Ananda ... Tatiana ... Chilli ... I'm so glad none of them got with this weird skin lightening or weave trend. They are from the 90s and they act accordingly. I love it!
Such a beautiful charming and warm person I've been wondering what happened to her I was a faithful watcher Amanda looks great and still speaks honestly and articulating the importance of being true to the people who have been in her life and her fans also I was just scrolling through slowly and saw this and screamed there she. is. Thanks DL and tv one
Ananda was my idol growing up! I miss her on TV.. she should definitely have her own show and would have one had she not left but I totally understand! 🖤
@@kwasiaking185 I know and as she stated she left in the middle of having it... Hopefully it was up in air and she decided it was just best go back home and help her grandma because u know that could be a reason to black ball her if she ever decides to come back to the business! I'm just excited she did this interview & we r not worthy! Blessings King!
Bruce Leroy yep and she met all of them. She was the queen of late 90's and 2000's television. It's the younger generation that doesn't and miss out on such a great legend.
@@edrepresentin ....I mentioned her name because Lisa was comfortable in her own skin, she's unapologetic about who she is and she just gives off a calm, controlled demeanor......Ananda has that.
@K Jhnsn what an insensitive and ignorant comment. Wearing a ring doesn't mean a person is married and not wearing one doesn't mean they're not. She's married to Will Smith's brother, Harry Smith and they have a beautiful family. She didn't "divorce rape" anyone. Who hurt you bro?
A profound interview!!👏. I would have liked to see the whole interview!! Best Wishes on all your endeavors and may you continue to age gracefully!!! You are a genuine example that females don’t need to be PLASTIC to age WELL!!! The media does not want us to see good examples of a successful, beautiful, black women without plastic surgery!!! May you continue to shine and set your OWN Norms!!!!👏🔥💖
She was really close friends with Aaliyah too. She comes from the era of classy naturally pretty girls and she hasn't aged a bit always so well spoken and business savy gotta love Ananda.
My brothers and I met her at a Charity Basketball game back in 1998, she was so nice, I even have a picture of her with one of my brother's together. Good Luck to her in whatever the future brings.
Now that’s fine - when you talk about fine ladies and gents this is it. And I been happily married for over 5 yrs but Ananda was a teen crush that has aged flawlessly.
When I say I have the Honey magazine with her on the front of it with the Egyptian jewelry on. Ananda we loved you girl. You were the classiest, most beautiful black woman in our time. You should come back and get a talk show that helps teens, women, especially black teens and black females. Your show will hit!!!
TV One this is an AWFUL decision to cancel the REALEST show on TV😒☕ First, it was Roland Martin, now D.L. Hughley show, this is NOT a smart decision!! Maybe TV One isn't ready for #RealTalk😒☕
The "set" does look small & it seems as though its supposed to have a night vibe. I hope his next gig is his best gig. TV One could have done better than this shadowy office space 😂
I was hoping she would speak on that more in this clip (perhaps she did in the full interview). I remember hearing buzz that Aaliyah's death, the pressure of the industry, and 9/11 had all played a part in her wanting to back away.
She still looks the same. Respect for her and wanting her privacy.
Mannnn...very lovely indeed
Bro.. I swear you just snatched up my comment😂😂.. #actual fact
Us blk folks age very very very SLOWLY!!!
@hypnosquirrel
Check yourself in 10 years and See if you look "the same".
Des Zee black don’t crack we age like fine wine not milk ✊🏾
I remember her on the tv show "Teen Summit." When BET was black owned.
Now, once again, the “Black” Is OWNED.
I remember Mya was a dancer on that show. I always wanted to be on there 😂
Fuckin right
@@WrvrUgoThrUR now of course it wouldn't be white of you to not be extra... "online of course".
u are racist. bawg god
She does not age. Still beautiful, classy and smart. She respects her privacy. I wish more famous people had dignity and grace like this lady.
MAKEUP....WEAVE

Man this woman don’t look like she aged one bit!
Doesn't LOOK LIKE IT but she definitely SOUNDS LIKE IT!!!! #BrownWomenRule!!! #QueenShitYo!!!!
Black dont crack.
She looks very beautiful. TV personalities like her are truly missed nowadays.
@@panafrocanam2100she’s actually mixed as well….not just black or whatever 😂😂
Where is the location of the water she drinks? She has not aged at all!
😅😅
Between my legs
@@davidw4812 lol...of course!
@@davidw4812 too small, I'm sure. Need melanin to boost it.
Elle Bailey she's definitely aged but she looks just as good as she did 20 years ago. If not better
She got those Chilli genes. Ananda is 46, looking like she's 26.
Her twin...thought they were related
I was a teen in the 90s & I remember Teen Summit on BET. It was so good that we had positive role models like Ananda Lewis back then.
Damn...Ananda is still beautiful as ever. Loved her on BET and MTV.
It looks like she walked into 2019 from the 90's because it doesn't look like nothing changed about her physically and dare I say she looks even better now
Now find Madeline Woods and Rachel from "Caribbean Rhythms" 😍
Your killing my teens years right now
And Sherry Carter
Yes Lawd lol Rachel was my baby😍😍
Idalis, too
@@PlayWage damm I forgot about her. She legit better than all them🤔.
She is still beautiful 🤦🏾♂️❤️❤️❤️
OHIO RUNS BOXING ikr! 😻😻
LDBC salute
Ananda is still beautiful and humble.❤ She's an introvert.
10/30/19
I remember when she said " I'm not a fan of anyone " and " why do ppl praise other ppls money ", I knew she had had enough.
She still is gorgeous and well composed. Underrated legend. Respect and happy for her.
She looks really happy. Kinda like she has a glow about herself.
she married well.
She looks vibrant, whole and well preserved ✨
So do u
Yes, she does.
Ananda, Chili, and Tatyana could pass for sisters...
Right...
Facts! I always thought they looked alike! Beautiful women!!
@Teresa Mack right! lol i was going to say the same thing. does anyone look at faces anymore? lol
@@JennHayden Nope, they're just going by hair textures.
I never said that they were identical folks, just that they could pass for sisters because you know, sisters have similar features, but interpret it as you will. All gorgeous women.
I remember how beautiful she was one teen summit and MTV and she still is
I miss her presence in TV. Soo graceful. Much respect!
Went to high-school with her and her sister! She is one of the most beautiful souls (inside and out) I have ever met!!!! ❤❤❤ to her and her family!
(THANK YOU FOR SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES @ SCPA)
I like how she protected her mother while still giving props to her grandma
Same
She has aged gracefully. Blessings to her seeking normalcy through peace.
I used to visit my friend at Howard University when she attended and she is definitely smart & charismatic.
There's something about brown skin chicks with curly natural hair ... Ananda ... Tatiana ... Chilli ... I'm so glad none of them got with this weird skin lightening or weave trend. They are from the 90s and they act accordingly. I love it!
Same here! I've always had a liking for brown skin, fit, and curly hair women. Ananda Lewis and Chili were my early crushes.
Aww stop you making us brown skin girls blush ♥️♥️
😁😁😁😁😁
It’s what’s under the hair that counts.
@Nova Starr type 4 hair is not bad if you TAKE CARE OF IT!!!!!
What a sight for sore eyes. I was wondering what happened to her
She looks good.....are you kidding?
@@charlotteziggy8353 lol That's a good thing.
Ronald Howell She has a RUclips channel.
She was gorgeous 20 years ago and still is.
tyler perrier is going to snap her up.

Correction ananda
Ananda was my idol growing up! I miss her on TV.. she should definitely have her own show and would have one had she not left but I totally understand! 🖤
Tam Cassimere she briefly had her own talk show.

Tam Cassimere right. Peace and Light, Queen!
I loooooooooooooove the fact that DL had her on the show! Been wanting to see more of her lately!
Damn, I forgot all about her. So good to see her. She look so good, still pretty.
I’ll never forgot! Crazy because I just mentioned her recently, wondering what she was doing and then I’m here today finding this👊🏿👊🏿 #MisstherealBET
Ananda Lewis always came across as so sincere and real; it's good to see her looking so well and healthy.
She's like a cross between Chili, Aaliyah and Lisa Bonet in a sense, not in her physical appearance but vibe....if that makes sense.
Bruce Leroy yep and she met all of them. She was the queen of late 90's and 2000's television. It's the younger generation that doesn't and miss out on such a great legend.
I agree I'm not sure about Lisa Bonet tho
@@edrepresentin ....I mentioned her name because Lisa was comfortable in her own skin, she's unapologetic about who she is and she just gives off a calm, controlled demeanor......Ananda has that.
I Am I They didn’t host the award show, they presented NSync performance.
She looks like she related to Chili...thought they were related.
Finally someone that didn’t sell their soul! Ananda has always been beautiful and clearly, genuine.
I remember seeing her on the first show.. You could tell she was a little scared. You did a great job young lady and still as beautiful as ever..👍👍
I met Ananda back in '91 damn she looks exactly the same lol. This woman is as pure as they come with a heart of gold.
I love how connected she is with her self.
...her voice is so soothing,
such a-beautiful SOUL!💯
I thought about her the other day and was wondering how she was doing! Glad to see she's doing well and still gorgeous
She don’t age but still chill like fine wine!
She is real. I've seen her play lotto often at a local donut shop, in CA.
N Cali!!!!
Mr. D.
Hey man, respect her privacy 😂.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Saw the thumbnail and gasped, "Ananda!" I loved her on BET and MTV. I'm glad she's doing well and living her life.
She still looks the same when I was 15 n I'm bout to be 39... Love black women nothing like you😍😘😉😜
Good to see her again. 🙏🏽 May God continue to bless her...
I need her fitness plan she looks great. She lost a ton of weight after having the babies.
Honey La’mour look up water fasting along with keto it works!
Honey La’mour : Is she married?
Ramone DeCurta I believe she is
Ananda may have left TV but her beauty stayed.
She was the big sister I always wanted 😩🙌🏾✊🏾 an icon!
I remember seeing her on TV when i was a little girl so i had to come down here and look for her..she's still great ❤❤❤
Ananda married well. Therefore, she doesn't need TV money.
@K Jhnsn get well soon
@K Jhnsn what an insensitive and ignorant comment. Wearing a ring doesn't mean a person is married and not wearing one doesn't mean they're not. She's married to Will Smith's brother, Harry Smith and they have a beautiful family. She didn't "divorce rape" anyone. Who hurt you bro?
ANANDA! I loved her growing up! Im glad she still looks amazing and still smart and normal! Good for her!
Our around the way girl Ananda stay bless sweetie I always enjoyed working with you at BET
I was such a HUGE fan of her in MTV in late 90s.
I was at the taping that there was an anthrax scare in the building about a month after 9/11. Ananda is so tall and gorgeous in person.
We were guest on her show back then...
Very much an eye candy in my time, she's a teacher as the host of Teen Summit.
I grew up with her. Every time I saw her on tv as a kid I feel like she was helping Save the World.
LOVE HER!!! I saw the thumbnail & clicked like so damn fast 💘
A profound interview!!👏. I would have liked to see the whole interview!!
Best Wishes on all your endeavors and may you continue to age gracefully!!! You are a genuine example that females don’t need to be PLASTIC to age WELL!!!

She is so beautiful
I remember taking a field trip to TEEN SUMMIT, she was so pretty and shoke everybody hands. She looks the same
I forgot all about her glad to see she’s still doing well and looking beautiful
I love!!! the Ananda Lewis show. Ananda still look beautiful!!! all that melanin poppin.
Me and my kids were on that Show!! 👑♥️♥️👏👏
Beautiful story beautiful soul beautiful person.
She still has a real youthful look, but the maturation in her voice and the way she speaks is evident.
She was really close friends with Aaliyah too. She comes from the era of classy naturally pretty girls and she hasn't aged a bit always so well spoken and business savy gotta love Ananda.
Smart Lady!
My brothers and I met her at a Charity Basketball game back in 1998, she was so nice, I even have a picture of her with one of my brother's together. Good Luck to her in whatever the future brings.
I watched her show 👍
She's still so beautiful! I loved watching her when I was in grade school
I miss Ananda!
Still beautiful ❤️. It’s been years
She looks the same!
OMG she’s still beautiful as ever....maybe even better now than before 🥰🥰🥰
Ain't seen her in a minute yo go girl💯
Now that’s fine - when you talk about fine ladies and gents this is it. And I been happily married for over 5 yrs but Ananda was a teen crush that has aged flawlessly.
Ananda Lewis has always been dope.
I remembered her show and wandered whatever happened to her. Great respect to her reasons for her departure from television.
She was the most beautiful woman on television back then and she still is!
Beautiful, humble, and educated.
This is trippy I just learned about her last night and here she is on new content. Wakan Tanka
It be like that
Wow she looks amazing 🖤🖤🖤 She hasn't changed one bit still beautiful 🖤👏🏾🖤👏🏾
She’s still fine after all these years. I need to change my life.
Still gorgeous! Skin still beautiful. Good to see her healthy and happy.
She’s ALWAYS been private. Even back then.
20 yrs... she still look the exact same. She hasn't aged at all. So beautiful
My lawd she's been bad my whole life.... Aged like the finest wine from a Italian Vine 😍😍😍😍😍
Wow she's so beautiful my crush back in the day.
I know what she means... I was in the public eye for a short time and man did I attract tons of nuts and prisoners...scared me as well.
I love me some Ananda Lewis.. I use to go to the Ananda Lewis show in nyc all the time.😎
Wonder if you saw me and my daughter's on the show....it was about Bi-racial kids
Damn I forgot about her! Still looking fine too😁😍

The lighting on this show is awful, looks like she's in a shadow.
looks like there recording in secret, might a well make it a podcast
