Vanessa first revealed that her dad was in poor health weeks earlier via Instagram, writing, "Please pray for his healing!!! The more prayers the better." During her speech, she discussed his diagnosis, saying, "Last year, my boyfriend, Austin, lost his mom, Lori, to cancer, and my dad has just been recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Let me tell you, I hate cancer. I hate cancer with every cell of my being."
