Allison Holker is facing significant backlash for her upcoming memoir, "This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light," which details her late husband Stephen "tWitch" Boss's death by suicide in December 2022.

In the memoir, Holker reveals that all proceeds will be donated to the Move with Kindness Foundation, which she established in Boss's honor to promote mental health awareness.

Since Boss's passing, Holker has actively engaged with mental health organizations, including the National Alliance on Mental Illness, to educate herself and ensure her portrayal of sensitive topics is accurate.

The memoir, set to release on February 4, 2025, includes claims that Boss hid various drugs in shoeboxes before his suicide, shedding light on his struggles with addiction.

Holker emphasizes the importance of recognizing mental health struggles, reflecting on her ongoing attempts to comprehend Boss's issues leading up to his tragic death.

Despite her intentions to raise awareness about mental health and addiction, Holker has faced criticism from Boss's family and friends, who accuse her of being opportunistic.

Critics, including Boss's brother Dré Rose, have suggested that Holker's revelations betray a non-disclosure agreement signed for Boss's funeral.

In the face of backlash, Holker has defended her actions, stating that her goal is to help others feel safe in seeking support.

In a recent interview, Holker shared her grief and confusion following Boss's death, expressing that closure may never come for her or their children.

Holker aims to empower her children, particularly her teenage daughter Weslie, to face life's challenges with strength and resilience.

Holker and her children began intensive therapy in 2023, which has helped them cope with their loss and understand that 'it's okay to not be okay.'

Ultimately, Holker hopes that sharing her story will prevent future tragedies related to mental health, believing that Boss would have wanted his story told to help others.
