Celebrity dancer Allison Holker is standing by her decision to share personal details about her late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who died by suicide in December 2022. The 36-year-old actress recently gave an interview about her late husband and has faced backlash on social media from users questioning her decision to air many of his personal struggles.
Holker defended herself after receiving criticism, stating that she was trying to help people feel safe to ask for help and support. She shared stories of discovering a “cornucopia” of drugs hidden in Stephen’s closet ahead of his funeral, as well as details from his journal entries, including allegations of childhood sexual abuse.
Holker emphasized the importance of seeking help and sharing her own experiences to raise awareness about mental health. However, some members of Stephen’s family and friends have come forward against Allison’s actions, calling them “tacky” and “opportunistic.” The family has accused Holker of treating Stephen’s mother poorly and airing “dirty laundry” in her new memoir.
Despite the backlash, Holker remains committed to helping others and raising awareness about mental health. She has reposted supportive messages from fans on her Instagram page, including one from a user who shared a powerful message about the importance of open conversations about mental health.
