Allison Holker’s 16-year-old daughter Weslie Fowler shared details about her relationship with the late Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ mom, Connie Boss Alexander.
“I speak to Stephen’s mom. My mom and her were speaking weekly at some point. I don’t know if it’s still like that. Me and my mom haven’t talked about it,” Weslie shared in a since-deleted Instagram video previously shared on January 9. “Since Stephen died, I feel like I’ve seen his family more than when he was alive. We would only see them once or twice a year.”
Weslie explained that tWtich’s family “lives in another state,” which is the only reason why the blended family didn’t spend too much time together.
“It’s not, like, we’re neighbors. It’s not, like, we could just see them whenever we wanted, and now my mom’s constantly making the effort so the kids are a part of their lives,” she continued. “I don’t make the effort, but that’s just how I am.”
TWitch died by suicide at age 40 in December 2022. Holker, 36, shared details about her late husband’s alleged drug addiction and alleged childhood sexual abuse in her memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, which is set to be released next month.
Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ 2022 funeral reportedly sparked family tensions over the use of nondisclosure agreements. Two years after Boss died by suicide at the age of 40, several of his relatives and friends claimed that widow Allison Holker allegedly forced them to sign NDA documents in order to attend the service. “We all had to […]
Holker has faced backlash for the content of the book — tWitch’s mom said she was “appalled by the misleading and hurtful claims” written about her son. (Holker has since addressed the backlash in a social media statement.)
“The recent publications spreading untruths about Stephen have crossed every line of decency,” Connie wrote via Instagram on January 9. “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.”
Holker shares Zaia, 5, and son Maddox, 8, with tWitch, who is also Weslie’s adoptive father.
At one point in her video, Weslie directly addressed rumors that Connie was not allowed to see tWitch’s body in the wake of his untimely death.
“I don’t know where it started but I’m constantly getting comments being like, ‘Your mom didn’t let Connie see the body for three weeks.’ Something like that,” she said. “Everybody who wanted to see the body had access to that information.”
Weslie said that her mom “didn’t want to” see tWitch’s body. Connie, on the other hand, was apparently asking about seeing her late son. According to Weslie, “literally everybody” allegedly advised Connie against it.
Honoring her dad. Allison Holker‘s daughter Weslie Fowler is mourning the passing of adopted father Stephen “tWitch” Boss. Fowler, 20, took to social media on Monday, February 20, to share a TikTok video of her in front of a mirror with Mac Miller‘s song “Surf” playing in the background. She captioned the post, “I miss […]
“That’s your son, you might not want to go see him,” she recalled. “With that all being said, she could have completely on her own terms gone and seen him.”
Weslie noted that she feels “disrespected” by tWitch’s family and has no plans to repair their relationship or establish lines of communication.
“They’ve gone on social media saying that ‘Blood’s thicker than water,’ and that’s a direct [hit to] me and my mom,” she alleged. “And if you don’t see me as Stephen’s daughter, that’s cool, take it how you want. I know for a fact that’s never how he saw it, and it’s literally just hurtful.”
She added, “I’ve slowly started to remove myself from [them] 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.”
