It’s been over two years since Stephen “tWitch” Boss was discovered useless of an obvious suicide.
However the controversy over his passing — and what life was like for the musician within the days, weeks and months main as much as his loss of life — has actually simply begun.
Within the wake of this tragedy, Boss’ widow, Allison Holker, has launched a memoir.
Within the e-book, and as a part of her press tour for the e-book, Holker has claimed that she discovered mushrooms, tablets, and “other substances I had to look up on my phone” contained in the shoe containers inside his closet.
She has mentioned Boss left her with a $1 million unpaid tax invoice.
She’s even mentioned that Boss was sexually abused as a toddler, going public with VERY private particulars about her late partner that she will’t show.
And which many discover wildly inappropriate for her to disclose now that Boss is now not with us.
On February 11, in the meantime, Boss’ mom, Connie Boss Alexander, and brother, Drè Rose, appeared on an episode of CBS Mornings.
Each of those family members mentioned that Holker’s claims about her late husband’s drug use and the chance that he was sexually abused as a toddler got here as a stunner.
“To use my brother’s name and make it seem like he had this serious addiction problem, this sexual abuse allegation,” Rose instructed host Gayle King. “That could have been true, but I don’t think that’s the reason why my brother isn’t here today.”
When King requested why Rose thinks his brother is gone, he pointed a finger at his spouse:
“I think that’s a question for Allison. I think she knows more than us because she was there. She knows his last known whereabouts. She knows the last conversation they had.”
That seems like fairly the accusation, doesn’t it? The implication that Holker is withholding pertinent details about this case?
Rose additionally known as out Holker for talking about Boss’ alleged substance abuse with out speaking to the household first.
“I knew that recreationally he’s used and tried things, that wasn’t a shock to me,” he instructed King.
“This cornucopia of drugs that had to be Googled, we don’t even know if those were [his] — we don’t know anything to be true. It’s hearsay. It’s someone else’s version, and if that is the truth, then there could have been a better way to bring that to the family and then discuss what that meant.”
Exhausting to argue with that time, in our opinion.
Each Boss Alexander and Rose went on to notice that they had been unaware about any attainable sexual abuse in Boss’ previous.
This allegation got here “out of nowhere” to them.
In a footage launched earlier this month, Boss’ members of the family addressed Holker’s e-book and the interviews by which she has participated in previous to its launch.
“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 mentioned.
Boss died by suicide in December 2022 on the age of 40.
An post-mortem beforehand revealed there was no hint of medication or alcohol in Boss’ system on the time of his passing.
Holker shared youngsters Maddox, 8, and Zaia, 5, with Boss, whom she married in 2013.
As her memoir e-book and all of her promotion has garnered backlash, Holker has frequently defended the undertaking, noting through her Instagram Story final month that she was nonetheless “trying to put the pieces together” after Boss’ loss of life.
She additionally issued the next assertion relating to the CBS interview earlier than it aired:
“Connie has and will continue to be a positive and loving figure in Maddox and Zaia’s lives. From grandparents’ day at school to family lunches, ice cream dates and [Stephen’s brother] Cameron’s video game meet-ups with Maddox, we hope to continue these traditions over the years and work together to keep Stephen’s memory alive.”
