AceShowbiz - Amid widespread social media criticism and family tensions, Weslie Renae speaks out to defend her mother, Allison Holker, in response to the uproar surrounding her upcoming memoir and revelations about her late husband, Stephen "tWitch" Boss.
In recent weeks, Allison Holker's upcoming memoir "This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light" has sparked significant controversy and backlash. Following revelations about her late husband, Stephen "tWitch" Boss' alleged drug use and private journal, Holker faced strong criticism from both social media users and tWitch's family members.
The situation escalated when members of Boss's family publicly condemned Holker. His mother, Connie Boss Alexander, countered the "misleading and hurtful" claims about her son, while his cousin Darielle criticized Holker on the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) at tWitch's funeral.
In defense of her mother, Renae, Holker's 16-year-old daughter, took to Instagram, where she posted a 34-minute video addressing the accusations and her relationship with tWitch.
"My stepdad's been gone for two years and I'm still getting hate comments. It's just complicated and for no reason. It's not just a social media gig; this is literally my life," Weslie said emotionally. She reiterated that despite tWitch not being her biological father, he raised her from infancy, adding, "Stephen was the person that raised me."
Weslie also challenged the narrative that Holker was driving a wedge between her children and tWitch's family. She shared that they have actually seen his family more frequently after his death. "My mom's making the effort so the kids are part of their lives," Weslie said, emphasizing that the division was not initiated by her mother.
Weslie further addressed the contentious issue of the NDAs, defending her mother's decision. "Y'all love to argue about the NDAs. But... 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 and put it on the internet," she explained. She highlighted that NDAs were a routine part of tWitch's life, not an outlandish control mechanism.
Certainly, the tension remains high, but Weslie denounced claims that her mother is "money-hungry" or seeking fame. "Trust me when I say my mom is good - she doesn't need [money]," she clarified, urging critics to leave her family in peace.
Ultimately, as Weslie confronts the backlash, she stresses the emotional toll it takes on the family, especially her younger siblings, Maddox, 8, and Zaia, 5. "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 said, calling for compassion and understanding.
The online discourse has unwrapped a complex and deeply personal chapter for Holker's family, and Weslie's candid defense sheds light on the intricate dynamics at play amid their public mourning.
