Allison Holker is not winning any fans online following bombshell revelations about her late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss‘ funeral. The Ellen DeGeneres Show star tragically died by suicide in December 2022, an incident many accuse his widow of abusing. She faced backlash after sharing her former beau’s dark past in a tell-all memoir.
But the drama did not end there as tWitch’s family recently called Holker out for being conniving and greedy. They echoed similar sentiments like online critics, claiming the dancer was profiting off her late husband’s name. Boss’ loved ones revealed the Dancing With The Stars alum made them sign an NDA to attend his funeral.
The non-disclosure agreement banned Boss’ family from profiting off their relationship and memories with the late entertainer. They, per the document, were obligated to turn over all proceeds from interviews, books, articles, or programs about him. The funds would go straight to Holker, a situation the relatives found ridiculous and unfair, given the dancer’s memoir.
tWitch’s family has been far from quiet since Holker began promoting her new book earlier this month. They refuted her claims about the late TV personality’s drug addictions and criticized her for profiting off his life. Meanwhile, the So You Think You Can Dance alum’s oldest daughter, Weslie Fowler, shared a different story. She defended the NDA, arguing that it was to stop people from photographing the deceased’s body.
Holker shared the same view in a snippet of her forthcoming memoir. In This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, she blamed Boss’ family for the NDA. She claimed they invited strangers to the open-casket portion of her late husband’s funeral. To protect his privacy, she pushed for an agreement blocking everyone from taking pictures and videos, per TMZ.
Critics Don’t Buy Stephen “Twitch” Boss’ Widow’s Claims About the NDA
The NDA made Holker the only person able to profit off Boss’ story, but she took a different stance. The widow declared that 100% of the proceeds from her memoir sales would go to her organization. She launched the Move with Kindness Foundation in her late husband’s memory; however, X users did not buy her claims.
Critics bashed Holker as two-faced, stressing that she wrote a memoir despite blocking Boss’ family from doing so. “LMAO. NDA FOR A FUNERAL?? SHE’S NUTS,” someone declared with another noting, “But she can write one???? Hypocrite.” A third accused the dancer of “doing dirty work” by putting the book’s proceeds in her foundation.
“Oh, I see now. I think she had something to do with triggering him because how can you write a book, but his own family can’t,” an X user wondered. More fans echoed similar sentiments about Holker’s NDA move, with someone speculating that she was “trying to hide something.” This criticism and debate about the widow comes days after she faced backlash for her memoir.
We covered that Holker had promoted her forthcoming book in an interview, revealing her late husband’s addiction struggles. She allegedly discovered a “cornucopia” of drugs hidden inside Boss’ shoeboxes while choosing an outfit for his funeral. The dancer also found shocking journal entries that alluded to a male figure sexually abusing Boss as a child.
Will the criticism against Allison Holker negatively or positively impact her memoir sale?
