Allison Holker's recent interview promoting her memoir has sparked intense criticism following her revelation of personal details about her late husband, Stephen "tWitch" Boss.
In an exclusive interview with People, Holker opened up about the intimate struggles her husband faced with addiction and childhood trauma, igniting a debate on whether this disclosure serves as a crucial step toward healing or an unwarranted betrayal of his legacy.
Holker shared that, at one point, she discovered a hidden collection of drugs in Boss's closet, along with journal entries that revealed the depths of his battles.
She also discussed how Boss used marijuana to unwind after their children were asleep, describing it as his personal "alone time," which she did not mind.
These intimate revelations have divided opinions, especially on social media, with critics accusing Holker of disrespecting tWitch's memory.
Among the dissenting voices is fitness influencer Kelly Gibson, who expressed disappointment, feeling that Holker’s actions tarnish tWitch's public image.
However, others have come to her defense, asserting that the revelations raise important awareness about mental health struggles.
In response to the criticism, Holker emphasized that her intent was to help others feel safe in seeking support.
Despite the backlash, Holker has found support from close friends, including longtime friend Jenna Dewan, who praised her vulnerability and courage.
Tragically, even though Holker discovered the drugs, tWitch passed away by suicide—though no drugs or alcohol were found in his system at the time.
His untimely death has only added to the complexity of this conversation, leaving his legacy forever intertwined with these painful revelations.
