The family and friends of Stephen “tWitch” Boss criticize his wife Allison Holker for allegedly using drugs to promote his candid memoir

Allison Holker is under criticism for disclosing information about her late husband’s alleged drug usage.

Support for his widow has grown since the untimely death of famous dancer and Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ Stephen “tWitch” Boss in 2022. In the lead-up to her forthcoming candid biography, Holker made some startling disclosures about her deceased spouse, which have caused those closest to tWitch to rebel.

The 36-year-old widow was promoting her new memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, when she disclosed that she learned about Boss’ alleged drug usage following his suicide in 2022.

According to Holker, who spoke with PEOPLE, she allegedly found a “cornucopia” of narcotics in her late husband’s closet, including pills, mushrooms, and “other substances I had to look up on my phone.”

Holker clarified, “I was with one of my very close friends, and we were organizing the closet and choosing him a funeral outfit.” “There were many things I found in our closet that I was unaware of, so it was a really triggering moment for me.”

She went on, “I found it extremely concerning to discover that so much was going on that I was [not] aware of.” Finding out that dad was hiding so much and suffering through so much must have caused a great deal of embarrassment, but it also helped me absorb that fact. It was a pretty terrifying point in my life.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Boss’ autopsy revealed that he was drug and alcohol free when he passed away.

In reaction to these disclosures, Holker’s decision to disclose her late husband’s personal difficulties to the public is being discussed by her friend Courtney Ann Platt and her brother Dré Rose.

“Anybody who knows me knows that when I have a disagreement, I go straight to the source and take care of my business, but since there is obviously no shame in being so public, I haven’t said a word in two years, but here I go,” Platt said on Instagram on Tuesday.

“This is the most opportunistic, tacky, and unclassy act I have ever witnessed in my entire life.”

She continued by claiming that Holker had treated her mother-in-law “like garbage this entire time” and that Boss’ friends and relatives “had to sign some weird NDA to attend his funeral.”

Following that, Platt criticized Holker for “smearing his name and trying to dim the bright loyal, loving light that was your husband, my friend.”

“You are a live, breathing destruction machine. Adhere to your personal issues. “Shame on you, Allison, and your compulsive team,” she said. “Relax my friend, not your public relations.”

Reposting Platt’s Instagram status, Boss’ brother Dré Rose added, “No lies told…”

His page then featured an Instagram Story from a buddy who labeled Allison “a disgrace and despicable human to do this to a grieving family.”

Rose’s remarks are similar to those of tWitch’s cousin, Darielle, who supported the funeral NDA claims and said that Hokler was attempting to damage her family member’s reputation. 

Sure, I’m talking about an NDA. His real family and I had to sign an NDA in order to attend the burial because of this insane woman. By refusing to let the Boss family to visit the kids, she has been attempting to damage his reputation. just to lie and take advantage of my cousin. No way.
