Watch: Allison Holker's Daughter Defends Stephen "tWitch" Boss Funeral NDAs Amid
Backlash


Allison Holker’s daughter is coming to her defense.
 
After the dancer received backlash for detailing husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss’
death by suicide, her 16-year-old daughter Weslie spoke out in a 30-plus minute
Instagram Live to clear the air. (In addition to Weslie, the couple shared kids
Maddox, 8, and daughter Zaia, 5.)

“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,”
Weslie said Jan. 10. “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.”
 
Though Weslie said Stephen never legally adopted her, he was the person who
raised her her entire life. “He never made made me feel like anything besides
his daughter,” she said. “I think that speaks to who he was.”

Hurtful” Accusations


After all, Weslie shared that she went to Stephen for "everything" after he
entered her life when she was just 3 years old. 

“He’s the person that I would cry to," she continued. "He would wake me up every
morning, we’d get breakfast, and he was the person I’d see when he’d get home
from work. We lived in the same four walls and now I’m getting hate for him
leaving and I don’t get it. It’s hurtful.”

While promoting her upcoming memoir This Far, Holker discussed Stephen’s alleged
addiction and details from his personal journal entries, actions and accusations
his family slammed her for sharing. For her part, Holker said she was trying to
raise awareness to substance abuse and mental health issues—and Weslie
concurred.

"My mom gets called a murderer," Weslie said during her Instagram Live. "They
say that she is money hungry. They say that she needs more fame. That’s not how
my mom is."

Weslie emphasized that her mother had good intentions with sharing her and her
late husband's story. 
 
“My mom never said that Stephen was an addict," she continued. "He would be open
and vulnerable about smoking weed. Also my mom isn't calling him a terrible
person for smoking weed. But when you have two years after somebody committed
suicide to sit here and question every interaction you had, every single thing
they did, obviously my mom’s like, maybe I should have paid more attention to
him smoking a lot of weed."


Instagram

She also explained why her mom had friends and family sign an NDA ahead of his
January 2023 funeral. 

"My mom asked for NDAs to be signed when we were seeing Stephen’s body because
God forbid somebody that went to that took a photo of Stephen and put it on the
internet or shared it with somebody else," Weslie shared. "That’s the type of
thing that NDAs are for. It’s not so you can never talk about Stephen."

In fact, she applauds Allison's decision to include the paperwork. However, she
did note her mom was lenient if someone refused to sign.

"She’s still nice, she’s still kind, she’s still forgiving, but you have to
know, like, even when Stephen was alive people that attended our events, they
would have to sign NDAs," the teen revealed. "But now, just because it’s my mom
handing the paper, it’s different and it’s just annoying."

As for her relationship with her stepdad's family, Weslie has decided to take a
step away from them. But her siblings see them as often as possible, despite
living in different states.

"I’ve slowly started to remove myself from because they don’t make me feel
comfortable, and my mom’s the one making the effort and feeling like it’s a need
and a necessity to see them because she cares," Weslie said. "Everyone’s pushing
for this narrative that my mom’s not trying or the kids are being withheld from
Stephen’s family. No. No. I’ve literally seen them more than when Stephen was
alive."

In the end, she said all the drama was unnecessary.

"We’re never going to get Stephen back," she said. "He made a choice and that’s
really unfortunate and I’m going to think about it for the rest of my life."
