The family of the late Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss is speaking out against his widow, Allison Holker, following the release of her memoir ‘This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light’.
Full story below…
Holker’s book reveals personal details about tWitch’s struggles, but in an interview with Gayle King on ‘CBS Mornings’ his family says they were blindsided.
His mother, Connie Boss Alexander, criticized how the book was promoted, while his brother, Dre Rose, questioned whether Holker “cherry-picked” from tWitch’s journals.
During the interview, the ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ alum’s mother voiced her frustration, stating:
“I think people deserve the ability to share their story. I get that. But how it was presented and how it was on a cover of a magazine and there was a public, you know, launch or campaign about it, we shouldn’t have to find out about that in the media. We’re a family.”
Rose also expressed interest in wanting to gain insight into his brother’s thoughts and feelings, he told King:
“I would love to see all the journals in all of [their] entirety.”
The rift between Holker and her late husband’s family has been ongoing since tWitch’s untimely death by suicide in 2022. His family accused Holker of imposing nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) on family members during his funeral, further fueling tensions.
Despite the backlash, Holker insists her book was meant to help others, with proceeds going to a mental health foundation in tWitch’s honor.
However, the Boss family calls for a more respectful and inclusive approach. Indeed, Alexander took to her Instagram last month amidst information regarding her son coming out stating:
“The recent publications spreading untruths about Stephen have crossed every line of decency. As his mother, I will not let these accusations go unanswered. We will not stand by while his name and legacy are tarnished. He doesn’t deserve this, and the kids don’t deserve this.”
The full interview of the Boss family on ‘CBS Mornings’ will air on February 11.Want to make a statement?
