Allison Holker has spoken out amid criticism over her decision to share personal details about her late husband Stephen “tWitch” in her forthcoming memoir. “To fans of Stephen and our family and friends, I want to be clear that my only intention in writing the book is to share my own story as well as part of my life with Stephen to help other people,” she wrote in an Instagram story posted on Wednesday. “Just like you, I never really knew what happened, and even as I am trying to put the pieces together I will never really know.” Boss, the amiable DJ for “Ellen DeGeneres Show” and dancer who rose to fame on “So You Think You Can Dance,” died in December 2022 by suicide at age 40. He and Holker had celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary just days prior. Holker, who is also a dancer, told People magazine in a recently publish exclusive interview that while preparing for her husband’s funeral, she discovered a “cornucopia” of drugs — including mushrooms, pills and “other substances I had to look up on my phone” hidden away among her late husband’s personal items. “I was with one of my really dear friends, and we were cleaning out the closet and picking out an outfit for him for the funeral,” she said. “It was a really triggering moment for me because there were a lot of things I discovered in our closet that I did not know existed. It was very alarming to me to learn that there was so much happening that I had no clue [about].”
