Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ mother, Connie Boss Alexander, is feeling grateful for fan support.
“Thank you [for] all for your support, donations, prayers and love,” Connie, 59, wrote via Instagram Stories on Thursday, February 13, sharing a link to a GoFundMe campaign.
She also added hashtags for “LL SLB 🕊 ♾” and “Stand for Stephen.”
The GoFundMe campaign, which was launched by Alan Boss, is titled “Help the Boss Family Protect Stephen’s Legacy” and has raised over $18,000 at the time of publication.
Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ family is speaking out against Allison Holker after the release of her bombshell memoir about her late husband. “We, the Boss Family, are completely appalled by the misleading accounts and inconsistencies in Allison’s book,” Boss’ mom, Connie Boss Alexander, shared via Instagram Wednesday, February 12. “As a family we have repeatedly shown […]
“We, the Boss Family, are heartbroken by the hurtful claims made in Allison’s recent memoir,” a website description reads. “Since Stephen’s passing, we have grieved privately while working to honor his memory with compassion, even in the face of difficult circumstances. However, the statements in this book compel us to act.”
The statement adds, “Stephen was a light in our lives and deserves to be remembered with dignity and truth. Some of the accounts shared in the memoir raise serious concerns and misrepresent his character, while also making harmful statements about mental health. To address this, we have decided to pursue legal counsel to seek answers and protect Stephen’s legacy.”
Stephen died by suicide in December 2020 at the age of 40. He is survived by wife Allison Holker and their three children: Weslie, Maddox and Zaia. (Weslie is Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship, whom Stephen helped raise upon their 2011 wedding.)
Holker, 37, published her This Far memoir earlier this year, claiming that Stephen struggled with substance abuse and included his personal journal entries in various passages. His family subsequently condemned its inclusion.
“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,” Holker said in a January social media statement. “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.”
In the wake of Allison Holker’s bombshell memoir, Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ family has the pair’s children on their mind. When asked how the family and Holker, 37, can move forward in order to have a relationship with the kids, Boss’ mom, Connie Boss Alexander, replied in a Tuesday, February 11, interview with CBS News, “Extend […]
She continued, “I hope that by sharing our full story maybe I can help someone else who might see themselves or a loved one in Stephen. In sharing I hope that maybe they can catch some of the red flags that I missed before it’s too late. … My hope is that we won’t need to lose another husband, brother, father, or friend to suicide. I believe that if Stephen were able to choose, he would choose to have his story told if it meant saving even one life.”
Earlier this week, Connie confirmed that she and other relatives were seeking “legal counsel” against Holker.
“We, the Boss Family, are completely appalled by the misleading accounts and inconsistencies in Allison’s book,” Connie wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, February 12. “As a family, we have repeatedly shown compassion toward Allison despite her disrespectful and evasive actions since Stephen’s passing. Her portrayal of Stephen appears to reshape his story into a narrative that aligns with her perspective.”
She added, “Stephen does not deserve this treatment, in life or death, and her accounts cause us to doubt everything she has uttered publicly and privately. Due to the unproven statements published in Allison’s memoir, we have decided to seek legal counsel to examine this matter. There are a lot of unanswered questions and we want answers.”
Holker has not publicly responded to the alleged legal threat.
