Stephen Twetouch Boss: Late Stephen “tWitch” Boss’s family and friends have expressed their reservations about his widow Allison Holker’s forthcoming tell-all memoir “This Far”. After Holker’s new interview, which was given for the promotion of his memoir, a series of comments against him started on social media. In the interview, Holker said that the boss, who had taken his life in December 2022 at the age of 40, kept drugs like mushrooms, pills and “other substances” hidden in his shoeboxes.
Holker says, “I was with a close friend of mine when we were cleaning out his closet and picking out clothes for his funeral. What I found there triggered me a lot. I saw things in his closet that I had absolutely no idea about. It was a terrifying moment for me to realize how many things he was hiding from me. But it helped me process how many difficulties he was facing internally.”
Anger from family and friends
A friend of the family, Courtney Ann Platt, criticized the memoir’s claims on Instagram. While sharing a photo he said, “This book and its promotion seem like the most tacky and classless act of my life.”
Platt also said that he had signed an NDA to attend his boss’ funeral, which was about protecting his boss’ reputation. But now his widow is writing a book that is taking out his dirty laundry. “They even published pages from Stephen’s journal. What kind of an example of love and empathy is this?”
He accused Allison of running a smear campaign for money and said that the boss never wanted his image to be tarnished in this way.
Family support
Boss’s brother Dré Rose also shared Platt’s comments on his Instagram Stories and agreed with him, writing, “No lies told…”
Holker’s response
Holker said in an interview with PEOPLE, “Stephen never faced the hardships of his childhood. I hope this book will help those who go through their own struggles.” This controversy shows how difficult it can be to balance grief and legacy, when family and friends see things from different perspectives.
