LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Allison Holker Boss has revealed in her memoir, 'This Far: My Story of Love, Loss and Embracing the Light', that her late husband, Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, left her with a staggering $1 million tax bill.

Holker claims that Boss engaged in reckless spending on drugs and an eccentric art collection, depleting his wealth and leaving her with unexpected financial burdens.

Allison Holker reflects on misconception about acquiring Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' wealth

Allison Holker said that it is a common misconception that she inherited Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' fortune, stating that he had given away large sums of money to family and friends before his death.

“The reality is quite different. The tax bill that he left me with for the year he died was $1 million," she explained.

Holker further disclosed that Boss had not left a will, making the financial situation even more complex, according to Page Six.

The couple had always maintained separate bank accounts, and paying off the tax bill ultimately drained his accounts.

“I had been under the impression that the arrangement was working just fine,” she wrote.

“He managed his income, and I managed mine, and we divvied up the bills. Easy-peasy. Or so I thought,” she added.

Allison Holker opens up on her struggles to provide for their children

Allison Holker admitted that dealing with their financial situation served as a distraction from her grief, yet she was still struggling to provide for their children.

She and Boss shared son Maddox, eight, and daughter Zaia, five.

Boss had also adopted Holker’s daughter Weslie, 16, from a previous relationship.

“If he had known how much of our hard-earned money would go to pay lawyers’ fees to clean up the mess he left me with, would it have made any difference?” she said.

“I’d like to believe it would have. Stephen left me with double the work, double the noise, double the hardships, double the confusion — and half the household earnings,” she shared in her memoir.

Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' declining hygiene, mental health, and drug use

Allison Holker alleged that Stephen 'tWitch' Boss was frequently high and barely showered. He also used marijuana to maintain his public persona.

She also claimed he secretly smoked on the set of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', keeping it hidden from colleagues.

“To the best of my knowledge, nobody knew. He was really good at hiding it,” she stated.

Following the cancellation of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' in May 2022, Boss’ hygiene allegedly suffered.

“I would find myself pleading with him to take a shower,” Holker wrote, later realizing his lack of self-care was a sign of depression.

Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' family opposes Allison Holker's claims

Stephen 'tWitch' Boss’ family strongly opposed Allison Holker's claims, with his mother, Connie Boss Alexander, publicly condemning the allegations.

“Our family is absolutely appalled by the misleading and hurtful claims made about my son,” she wrote in an Instagram post, vowing to defend his name and legacy.

Amid the backlash, Holker defended her decision to share her experiences in her book.

“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,” she clarified.

“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,” she shared.
