Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss felt ‘SILENCED’ in Allison Holker marriage, his brother claims amid ugly family feud

Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss was not thrilled with his marriage to Allison Holker, it has been claimed by his family.

Stephen’s brother Dre Rose said that the Ellen show star felt ‘silenced’ by his wife, as in he did not have enough say in their partnership.

The family feud between Boss’ family and Holker has heated up ever since she came out with her tell-all memoir – This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light – which touched on Stephen’s childhood abuse, drug use, and subsequent suicide.

DJ tWitch was found ᴅᴇᴀᴅ in a H๏τel room in 2022 at age 40. 

Dre and his mother voiced their complaints on Tuesday on CBS Mornings with Gayle King.

King asked, ‘He felt silenced in his own home?’ and Dre continued, ‘Yes, often. Often. And he loved his wife, he loved his kids. He would definitely give them his last. But in any situation in which you can’t have a conversation and get resolve, it becomes one-sided.

Dre added: ‘And I believe, cause you asked about their relationship, I can say that there’s many conversations that there’s no resolve. But he would always say to me, “This is life. The lights are on.”‘

The brother admitted that there was a ‘possibility’ that tWitch could have done drugs but overall they felt she was a problem.

Holker told People she found drugs — including mushrooms, pills and ‘other substances I had to look up on my phone’ — hidden inside tWitch’s shoeboxes. 

‘I knew that recreationally he’s used and tried things, that wasn’t a shock to me,’ he told King.

Dre maintained that Stephen was insecure and he did not tell his wife this.

‘So in my opinion, [from] our conversations that he had with me, he felt silenced. He couldn’t get it out,’ complained the brother.

He also thought Allison’s book was a bad idea.

‘To use my brother’s name and make it seem like he had this serious addiction problem, this Sєxual abuse allegation,’ Rose told King. ‘That could have been true, but I don’t think that’s the reason why my brother isn’t here today.’

When King asked why Rose thinks his brother is gone, he replied, ‘I think that’s a question for Allison. I think she knows more than us because she was there. She knows his last known whereabouts. She knows the last conversation they had.’

And Dre added: ‘There are things that she knows that we didn’t know. But know that there are things about him that she didn’t know.’ 

tWitch left his wife a single parent who is now raising their three children alone. 

The family was horrified that Allison used entries from her late husband’s private journals which covered his history with Sєxual abuse as a child.

The brother admitted that there was a 'possibility' that tWitch could have done drugs but overall they felt she was a problem. Holker told People she found drugs ¿ including mushrooms, pills and 'other substances I had to look up on my phone' ¿ hidden inside tWitch's shoeboxes

The family said abuse claims shocked them.

‘That was new,’ Dre told King.  ‘It was a shock to me, it was a shock to our father. Because when that comes up it’s like, “Well hold on. A male figure.” So now you have our family looking at each other like, “Well, what happened?” And we didn’t know anything happened of that nature.’

The dancer’s brother said on CBS Mornings that he saw ‘no accountability’ after the family found out about the abuse from the book. 

‘I see no accountability in the fact that the family had to find out about these things in the matter that they did,’ said Dre.  

‘And if that is what you want to convey or share to the public, bringing up someone’s journal entries, that’s not how you expose it.

‘It could have been, “Hey this is my experience and I want to let people know what to look for.” But to use my brother’s name and to make it seem like he had this serious addiction problem and this Sєxual abuse allegation — that could have been true — but that, I don’t think that’s the reason why my brother isn’t here today.’

Holker has since shared that she will donate all the proceeds from the book ‘to fund the mental health-focused foundation I started in Stephen’s honor, Move with Kindness.’
