The family of late DJ and dancer Stephen 'tWitch' Boss plan to sue his widow, Allison Holker.
On Tuesday (Feb. 12), Boss' mother, Connie Boss Alexander, and younger brother, Dre Rose, appeared on CBS Mornings, where they discussed Holker's controversial new memoir This Far, which is largely about Boss. During the interview with Gayle King, Alexander explained that it was hard to believe allegations made about her son in the book. In This Far, Holker claimed that she discovered a "cornucopia" of drugs that her late husband left behind, along with mental health issues that he faced before his death. The couple, who married in 2013, shared a son and daughter, while Holker also has a 16-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
On Wednesday (Feb. 12), the Boss Family posted a statement to Instagram, saying that there were "misleading accounts and inconsistencies" in Holker's memoir.
"As a family, we have repeatedly shown compassion toward Allison despite her disrespectful and evasive actions since Stephen's passing," the statement continued. "Her portrayal of Stephen appears to reshape the story into a narrative that aligns with her perspective. These statements, along with her insensitive opinions about mental health, add unnecessary hurt during an already difficult time."
The family concluded by expressing that they've "decided to seek legal counseling to examine this matter," with a link in the caption to their GoFundMe. Boss' family is currently seeking $250,000 for legal fees and additional costs.
"Stephen was a light in our lives and deserves to be remembered with dignity and truth," the page's description reads.
Holker has previously defended her actions, as she's described the book as intended to "celebrate the love and life" of her late husband and their children.
