Allison Holker, widow of the late Stephen “tWitch” Boss, has recently faced criticism for requiring attendees at his funeral to sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs). These NDAs reportedly prevent family members and others from profiting off writings about his death and their relationship, stipulating that any funds produced from programs, books, interviews, etc., would go directly to Holker.
Holker has addressed the backlash, explaining that the NDAs were implemented to protect her husband’s privacy and prevent unauthorized photos or videos from being leaked. She stated that after Stephen’s family invited several people she didn’t know to his viewing, she couldn’t risk any photos being leaked to the press or social media, which could become the lasting image people would have of him. She emphasized that her children should not stumble upon such photographs at a later date. At the advice of her lawyers, she insisted that everyone who viewed the open casket sign an NDA to protect Stephen’s privacy, a requirement that exasperated his family.
Holker has also been criticized for her upcoming memoir, “This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light,” which includes revelations about Boss’s alleged drug use and mental health struggles. Some family members and friends accuse her of tarnishing his legacy for financial gain. In response, Holker has stated that all proceeds from her book will be donated to the Move with Kindness Foundation, a mental health-focused organization she established in Stephen’s honor.
Holker’s daughter, Weslie Renae, has publicly defended her mother’s actions, explaining that the NDAs were intended to prevent unauthorized photos of Boss’s body from being taken and shared, not to silence attendees. She emphasized the importance of protecting the family’s privacy during a difficult time and criticized the ongoing negative comments directed at her family.
Despite the controversy, Holker remains committed to sharing her story in hopes of helping others facing similar challenges. She believes that if Stephen were able to choose, he would want his story told if it meant saving even one life. Holker and her children have been in therapy since 2023, and she hopes her memoir will encourage those in need to seek help and prevent further tragedies.
