Though the last time Allison Holker opened her mouth to speak on her late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss, familial drama ensued—it appears she’s not letting that stop her from saying what she wants. And her latest interview is proof positive of that.
As we previously told you, the sour relationship between Holker and Boss’ family members entered into the public fray thanks to the former’s revelation in a previous interview that she allegedly found a shoebox full of drugs in her late husband’s closet just hours before his funeral. This prompted an immediate negative reaction from Boss’ mother and friends who lobbed additional accusations of mistreatment at the hands of Holker. They also labeled her interview as “tacky, classless” and “opportunistic.”
But it seems like those words didn’t phase Holker as she recently sat down for another interview, this time on “The Jamie Kern Lima Show,” and revealed yet another unexpected detail about her late husband. During her talk, she shared that Boss changed after undergoing an “ayahuasca journey” and said he “wasn’t the same afterwards.”
For context, ayahuasca is a plant-based psychedelic drug that can cause of a variety of effects which include feelings of euphoria, connection, introspection, panic, fear, anxiety, intense hallucinations and more according to the Alcohol and Drug Foundation.
“I think it was a very big turning point for him. I feel like his heart was never really in the same place when he came back. There was something missing in his eyes,” she said, later adding: “It just kind of feels like he opened something up to himself that he never healed. And never fully escaped.”
In reading an excerpt from her new memoir, Holker also said that the ayahuasca made Boss “no longer joyful, generous, and that he seemed like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed.”
Though Holker said she will always celebrate Boss and the light that he had, she won’t celebrate the choices he made that left a negative impact on his children. She went on to explain the due to the loss of their father, their children—nine-year-old son Maddox and five-year-old daughter Zaia—are in therapy and working through their trauma in order to bring back some semblance of joy into their lives.
“[The kids] are very hurt by their father’s decision and they have a lot of triggers that they have to be in therapy now to really work through,” she said in part. “But what I am impressed with is that they are doing the work, and they are putting in the time, and they are finding joy in life, and they are finding laughter again.”
As we previously told you, tWitch died by suicide via a self-conflicted gunshot wound back in Dec. 2022. According to his official autopsy, there was no evidence of drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death.
