The famed DJ on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ died at the age of 40 in 2022. The widow of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, Allison Holker, has shared the “triggering” way she discovered her late husband’s drug addiction only after his death. “I was with one of my really dear friends, and we were cleaning out the closet and picking out an outfit for him for the funeral,” she said in the new interview published Tuesday (January 7). “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.”.

She continued: “It was very alarming to me to learn that there was so much happening that I had no clue [about]. It was a really scary moment in my life to figure that out, but it also helped me process that he was going through so much and he was hiding so much, and there must have been a lot of shame in that.”.
Holker noted that throughout her and Boss’ nine years together, she thought they were “very honest” about things, including his marijuana use. She also said that her husband would go to the guesthouse to smoke or drink, after their three children — Weslie, 16, Maddox, eight, and Zaia, five — went to sleep.
“That was his alone time. It was his time to recharge, and that was okay,” she said. Following Boss’ funeral, Holker went through his journals and discovered how many secrets he kept from those he loved the most. She said that in the journal entries, Boss also alluded to that when he was a child, he was sexually abused by a male figure.
