A Mother’s Voice Amid Controversy
The late Stephen “tWitch” Boss, a cherished figure in the entertainment industry, is remembered as a talented dancer, charismatic television personality, and devoted family man.
However, his legacy has recently come under public scrutiny following claims by his widow, Allison Holker, that tWitch secretly struggled with drug addiction before his tragic death in 2022.
In response, tWitch’s mother, Connie Boss Alexander, has broken her silence to defend her son’s memory and address what she calls “misleading and hurtful claims.”
Connie Boss Alexander’s Heartfelt Statement
Connie Boss Alexander, who has largely stayed out of the public eye since her son’s passing, took to Instagram to share her thoughts.
In a powerful statement, she expressed her heartbreak and frustration over the allegations made against her late son:
Our family is absolutely appalled by the misleading and hurtful claims made about my son, Stephen Boss.
The recent publications spreading untruths about Stephen have crossed every line of decency. As his mother, I will not let these accusations go unanswered.
We will not stand by while his name and legacy are tarnished. He doesn’t deserve this, and the kids don’t deserve this.

Connie’s statement emphasized her commitment to protecting her son’s legacy, noting that her primary focus since his passing has been on healing and maintaining her connection with his children.
However, the recent allegations prompted her to speak out:
For the last two years, I have remained quiet and away from the public eye to protect my family…
But when I read these dreadful claims about my baby, our beloved Stephen, I realized I could not stay silent any longer.
She ended her post with a call for unity and strength, using hashtags such as #StandforStephen, #BossFamilyUnited, and #LLSLB (“Long Live Stephen Laurel Boss”).
The Backlash Against Allison Holker’s Claims
The controversy began when Allison Holker, tWitch’s widow, made claims about her late husband’s alleged secret drug addiction during an interview with People magazine.
Holker’s remarks were part of the promotion for her forthcoming memoir, which she described as an effort to share her personal story and inspire others.
Holker 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.

While Holker’s intentions may have been to raise awareness and support others, her statements have faced significant backlash from tWitch’s family, friends, and the dance community.
Many have accused her of exploiting his memory for personal and professional gain, further deepening the rift between her and those who loved and admired tWitch.
