Holker’s message sparked fans’ outpour of love and support, with her boyfriend chiming in.

Allison Holker Addresses Stephen “Twitch” Boss’ Mental Health Struggles
Earlier this year, we shared that Holker had opened up about her late husband’s death. She revealed Boss had struggled with his mental health before committing suicide in December 2022. One of the reasons for his issues was fame, with the widow noting he was a different man off-camera.
“I knew him as Stephen. A lot of people knew him as ‘tWitch.’ Very two different humans,” Holker explained. She claimed “tWitch” was an extroverted character her late husband embraced, but it felt unnatural to him. Living as “tWitch,” the beloved dancer and entertainer who brought joy to thousands, eventually became Boss’s undoing.
Holker noted the extroverted personality impacted her late lover negatively, saying, “It would drain his energy. And he would have to come home, and he would always tell me โฆ our home was his safe place.” Even when he stepped away from the spotlight, Boss could not find solace, forcing him to embrace “darker” activities. Holker claimed he could find a way out of his depression whenever she left him to his devices.
However, it seemed Stephen “tWitch” Boss could no longer find a path and chose death. He can rest in peace, knowing Allison Holker has found love again.
