Allison Holker's daughter has explained why her mom made friends and family sign an NDA at Stephen "tWitch" Boss's funeral.
The beloved TV star, best known for his appearances as the DJ on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, tragically passed away at the age of 40.
Boss' body was found at a motel in Los Angeles on December 13, 2022.
His cause of death was ruled as suicide by a coroner, and county officials further confirmed that the late dancer died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, TMZ reported.
The longtime DJ was married to Alison Holker. The couple shared a son Maddox, eight, and daughter Zaia, five. Boss was also stepfather to Holker's daughter from a previous relationship, 16-year-old Weslie Fowler.
In a recent PEOPLE interview, Holker revealed that she learned about her late husband Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' drug addiction weeks after his death.
The 36-year-old, who is also a professional dancer, said that she had discovered a "cornucopia" of drugs such as mushrooms, pills, and "other substances [she] had to look up on my phone," hidden inside Boss' shoeboxes inside their closet.
"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," Holker told the outlet.
After the interview was published, the mom - who is releasing her memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light - was slammed for speaking about her late husband’s struggles.
The dancer's 16-year-old daughter responded to the backlash directed at her mom on Instagram, saying: “I just feel think things need to be addressed and I would rather it come from me to defend my family than anybody else because I feel like it’s important," per E! News.
“I’m so sick of getting hate comments and seeing my mom get hate for literally losing the person that she loves and I have siblings. This is their dad. This is who they’re gonna grow up and they’re gonna see all this on social media that’s so hurtful," she added.
