Dancer and TV personality Allison Holker is speaking out amid growing criticism from the family of late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss. In an upcoming memoir, Holker is set to share personal details about her marriage and Boss’s struggles with mental health.
Holker’s book, titled “This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light,” chronicles her emotional journey through grief and offers a message of hope for those facing similar struggles. The memoir has sparked controversy among Boss’s family members, who feel Holker is exploiting his memory and tarnishing his legacy.
Holker’s cousin, Darielle, has publicly expressed frustration on social media, alleging that Holker required her and the rest of the family to sign a non-disclosure agreement to attend Boss’s funeral. “She’s been trying to tarnish his legacy and refuses to let the Boss family see the children,” Darielle wrote.
Former contestant Courtney Ann Platt also criticized Holker, calling the memoir “tacky, classless, and opportunistic.” Boss’s brother, Dré Rose, expressed disappointment over a lack of communication between Holker and the family.
Despite the backlash, Holker has shared supportive messages from fans and mental health advocates on her Instagram Stories. She has spoken out about the importance of open conversations about mental health and has shared raw and emotional revelations about the weeks following Boss’s passing.
Holker recently revealed that she discovered disturbing items in the closet while preparing for tWitch’s funeral, including mushrooms, pills, and other substances she couldn’t identify. The discovery was a shocking moment for Holker, but it also helped her process her grief and understand that Boss had been struggling with shame.
