Who is Allison Holker’s supportive ‘angel’ daughter Weslie Fowler, and what has she said about her late stepfather, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss? The teen says she’s baffled and hurt by the hate on Instagram
Allison Holker’s teenage daughter – who goes by the handle Weslie Renae on Instagram – is speaking out against hate-filled comments, 2 years after losing her beloved stepdad Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss
“My stepdad’s been gone for two years and I’m still getting hate comments … it’s just complicated and for no reason, because this is not just a social media gig, this is literally my life,” Weslie said in a live video shared on Instagram last Friday.
She defended her late stepdad’s honour. “For 13 years, my parents were together, and for 13 years he was the person I would go to about everything,” she said of Boss. “He’s the person I would cry to. He’d wake me up every morning, we’d get breakfast. He’s the person that I would see when he came home from work. We lived in the same four walls and now I’m getting hate for him leaving, and I don’t get it. It’s hurtful.”
The 16-year-old also addressed online comments about why she doesn’t use Boss’ surname and why her mother asked his family to sign funeral NDAs. “My legal last name isn’t even what is my handle,” she said. “It’s just my middle name because I don’t go by ‘Boss’ or my last name and I never have.”
Of the latter, she said: “Basically, one day we had an open casket viewing for Stephen. We had a funeral and then we had a wake, and 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 of Stephen and put it on the internet or shared it with somebody else – that’s the type of things that NDAs are for,” she explained.
She also stood up for her mother, who’s set to release her upcoming memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss and Embracing the Light next month. “My mom gets called a murderer. They say that she’s money hungry. They say that she needs more fame. That’s not how my mom is,” she said. “Trust me when I say my mom is good, she doesn’t need that.”
