Lewellyn told Essence Live, “Season 1 [of Blood, Sweat & Heels] was about… my fabulous life. Season 2, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 bile duct cancer. Super rare, no one’s really heard of it. But I decided, if I’m on a reality show showing my life, life isn’t always roses… I was going through the journey as we were taping.”
