Allison Holker’s Book Revelations: Her Allegations About Late Husband Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss in Memoir

Allison Holker Says She ‘Overlooked’ Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ Signs of Depression 

“I don’t believe the end of the show was destabilizing, because he wasn’t out of a job. There was no work slowdown for him. We had so many projects in the pipeline. It did, however, lead to a shift in Stephen’s routine,” Allison explained in her book about how Stephen didn’t cope well when Ellen DeGeneres‘ daytime talk show came to an end in May 2022. “For nine years, the show had given his days a structure and rhythm. No longer bound to a schedule, Stephen had more time to spend inside his head.”

She also claimed her husband hid his depression prior to his suicide, while admitting she “might have overlooked” tWitch’s symptoms, which included “irritability, insomnia, weight loss, a lack of energy, a disinterest in work and friends and fun.”

“More and more he came up with excuses or reasons not to do things he previously would have thoroughly enjoyed,” she wrote. “I’d find out later there’s a name for that: anhedonia, and it’s a common symptom of depression.”

“I would find myself pleading with him to take a shower,” Allison remembered. “At the time I thought he was too tired to properly care for himself. Now I know that neglecting self-care is another classic sign of depression.”
