Allison Holker has faced criticism for using the death of her husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, to promote her new memoir, and now Boss’s family is speaking out against her. The former dancer and Ellen DJ’s mother, Connie Boss Alexander, and younger brother, Dre Rose, told CBS their relationship with Holker has become strained over her memoir. Rose especially took issue with Holker’s January People cover, in which she claimed Boss was addicted to drugs and had written in a journal that he was sexually abused as a child. “I think people deserve the ability to share their story, I get that,” Rose said. “But to how it was presented and how it was on the cover of a magazine and there was a public, you know, launch or campaign about it — we shouldn’t have to find out about that in the media. We’re a family.”
In the teaser for the full interview which airs February 11, Boss Alexander and Rose said they would both be interested in reading Boss’s journals themselves. “I feel, believe that there’s been a cherry-picking of things from the journal to reveal or share, and if we’re just going to be completely honest, talk about it all,” Rose said.
This is Boss Alexander and Rose’s first time speaking out about Holker’s memoir. However, Rose did previously share an Instagram post from Courtney Ann Platt, a friend of Boss’s who also knew Holker through So You Think You Can Dance. “This is by far the most tacky, classless, opportunistic act I have ever seen in my entire life,” Platt said of Holker’s People cover. She also claimed Holker made family and friends sign NDAs to attend Boss’s funeral and has treated Boss’s mother, Boss Alexander, “like garbage this entire time.”
