It has been just a little over two years since Stephen “tWitch” Boss died via suicide and the wounds are still fresh for his family. They recently expressed their anger toward his mistress Allison Holker for claiming he used drugs while alive and forcing people to sign non-disclosure agreements to attend his funeral.
Holker and Boss had been married since 2013 after both contending on So You Think You Can Dance. They conceived two children together, and Boss later adopted Holker’s daughter whom she had with her former fiancé. The couple was seemingly unassailable, but the 36-year-old dancer’s recent interview with People has drawn the ire of her late husband’s family.
“I was with one of my really dear friends, and we were cleaning out the closet and picking out an outfit for him for the funeral,” she told the publication. “It was a really triggering moment for me because there were a lot of things I discovered in our closet that I did not know existed. It was very alarming to me to learn that there was so much happening that I had no clue [about].” She claimed she found a myriad of drugs in his shoeboxes, namely mushrooms, pills, and other substances that required her to look them up on her phone. Boss’ family was not fond of this allegation, and his cousin Elle aired out Holker on X.
“He wasn’t an addict,” Elle wrote. “He smoked weed and was actively trying to quit. He wasn’t some junkie.” Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ cousin took things further and claimed that Allison Holker had not permitted his family to see his three children.
“I’m so tired of keeping my f**king mouth shut bro,” Elle added. “You did our family so mf dirty […] Yeah idgaf about an NDA. This crazy woman made me and his actual family including his mother sign an NDA just to even attend the funeral […] She’s been trying to tarnish his legacy and refuses to let the Boss family see the children. Only to exploit and LIE on my cousin. Hell no.”
Courtney Ann Platt, a close friend of Boss, jumped in and called out Holker for using all of this publicity to promote her upcoming memoir This Far. “We all had to sign some weird NDA to attend his funeral (even his own mother who you’ve treated like garbage this entire time and let’s just remember you wouldn’t have even had a husband if it wasn’t for her) not to share anything or ruin his name,” Platt wrote on Instagram. “As if that was on anyone’s mind in the first place and here you go and write a book with all the dirty laundry smearing his name and attempting to dim the bright loyal, loving, light that was your husband, my friend.”
Courtney Ann Platt didn’t stop there, either. She pointed out how Allison Holker stopped using the “Boss” last name 48 hours after he died and shared pages of his journal with the public. “What a joke,” she wrote. “Yes, he took his own life which is a fact all of us still can’t fathom and he was clearly having mental health issues, hurting so deeply and this is your example of empathy? Of your love?”
