LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Stephen 'tWitch' Boss's mother, Connie Boss Alexander, has publicly denounced claims made about her late son, calling them false and hurtful.

Connie Boss Alexander denounces 'misleading' claims made about 'Stephen 'tWitch' Boss

Allison Holker’s comments have drawn significant backlash, prompting Connie Boss Alexander to issue a firm statement defending her son’s memory and legacy.

“Our family is absolutely appalled by the misleading and hurtful claims made about my son, Stephen Boss,”  Connie Boss Alexander wrote in a statement via Instagram on Thursday, January 9.

“The recent publications spreading untruths about Stephen have crossed every line of decency. As his mother, I will not let these accusations go unanswered," she added.

“We will not stand by while his name and legacy are tarnished. He doesn’t deserve this, and the kids don’t deserve this," the statement continued.

Connie Boss Alexander says she can't remain silent over son's death 

Connie Boss Alexander said that she had “remained quiet and away from the public eye to protect my family” over the past two years.

However, she said she could no longer stay silent after reading the claims about her son.

“My primary focus has been on healing and attempting to remain connected to my grandchildren,” she said.

“But when I read these dreadful claims about my baby, our beloved Stephen, I realized I could not stay silent any longer," she stated.

"Our family will ensure his name and memory are protected, and we are committed to defending his honor," Stephen's mother added.

Allison Holker hopes her story about Stephen 'tWitch' Boss might help 'someone' 

Allison Holker faced criticism after a January 7 interview with People where she discussed her late husband’s alleged drug use and childhood abuse. Boss died by suicide in December 2022 at the age of 40.

“It was a really triggering moment for me because there were a lot of things I discovered in our closet that I did not know existed,” she said during the interview.

Holker later explained her reasons for sharing these details in her upcoming memoir 'This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light' on Instagram story.

“To fans of Stephen and our family and friends, 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,” she wrote via Instagram on January 8.

She added, “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. I hope that by sharing our full story maybe I can help someone else who might see themselves or a loved one in Stephen.”

Allison Holker says she does not want to see people dying 

Allison Holker emphasized that she worked with mental health nonprofit organisations over the last two years to ensure that her portrayal of sensitive subjects was accurate.

Proceeds from her memoir will go to a foundation she created in Boss' memory.

“My hope is that we won’t need to lose another husband, brother, father, or friend to suicide,” she stated.

“I believe that if Stephen were able to choose, he would choose to have his story told if it meant saving even one life. Much love to all those who have supported our family these many years," she said.

Holker and Boss shared two children, Zaia, five, and Maddox, eight. Boss was also the adoptive father of Holker’s eldest daughter, Wesley, 16.

Holker said she hopes to help others recognize warning signs that she missed. “Maybe they can catch some of the red flags that I missed before it’s too late,” she wrote.

Holker's statement came after other family members slammed her lobbing accusations at her, claiming she made them sign an NDA to attend 'tWitch's' funeral and that she was actually the one using drugs, as per TMZ.
