LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Stephen 'tWitch' Boss’ family is pursuing legal action against his widow, Allison Holker, following claims in her memoir 'This Far' released on February 5.

In a February 12 Instagram post, Connie Alexander, Boss' mother, criticized the book for containing "misleading accounts" and stated that the family had hired legal counsel to address what they see as defamatory statements.

A key point of contention is Allison Holker's claim that she found a "cornucopia of drugs" in their home after Stephen 'tWitch' Boss’ death in December 2022.

In an interview with CBS Mornings on February 11, Connie rejected the allegation, stating, “I don't believe there was that type of issue.”

She acknowledged the importance of mental health awareness but condemned Holker’s approach, stating, “There’s a way to say that without denigrating Stephen’s legacy.”

Connie Boss Alexander further criticized Allison Holker for reshaping Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' story to fit her perspective, adding that the family has shown her compassion despite her "evasive actions" since his death.

She expressed heartbreak over the harm caused to Boss' legacy and their family, including his children Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.

In her Instagram post on February 12, Alexander referred to Holker's claims and wrote, "These statements, along with her insensitive opinions about mental health, add unnecessary hurt during an already difficult time."

"Stephen does not deserve this treatment, in life or death, and her accounts cause us to doubt everything she has uttered publicly and privately," she added.

Speaking about finding closure, Alexander captioned the post, "Over the past two years, we have extended the olive branch countless times and the only time we get acknowledgment is when we address the public. It is time that we seek a remedy to find closure."

Allison Holker defends intentions behind the memoir

Facing backlash, Allison Holker defended her memoir, stating it was intended to celebrate her life with Stephen 'tWitch' Boss and help others struggling with loss, according to E! News.

Defending her decision, she wrote on social media, “If you decide to read the book, hopefully, you’ll see my intention is to celebrate the love and life I shared with Stephen.”

"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 said.

Holker added that all proceeds from the book would be donated to the Move with Kindness foundation which she established in Boss’ honor to promote mental health awareness.
