Speaking about how her eldest daughter Weslie is dealing with her father's death, Allison Holker said on Tuesday, January 7, “Having someone say last words to you that you didn't really process at the time as being anything wrong ... that's really hard, especially as a teenager.”
The 36-year-old dancer continued that her daughter "handles it with far more grace than she should have to." "We took the steps to really help her and communicate with her and make her feel seen and heard," she added.
“I think she also sees those words as something beautiful, and also ugly. It's a battle that she's going to always have with herself, but I know she can see it from both sides,” Holker continued.
