00:00Two years after Steven Twitch Boss died by suicide,
00:05his widow, Alison Holker, is now defending herself
00:07from the backlash she's getting
00:09for revealing intimate details about Twitch's life.
00:12So she's writing a book
00:14and she did an interview regarding the book
00:16and talked about his alleged drug use
00:18and everything that happened leading up to his suicide.
00:21There was a lot of things I discovered in our closet
00:23that I did not know existed.
00:25And he was hiding so much
00:26and there must have been a lot of shame in that.
00:27And on top of talking about the drugs she found,
00:30Alison also included very private passages
00:33from Twitch's personal journals in her book,
00:35which enraged his friends and family.
00:38She got tons of hate from all of his family,
00:41their mutual friends.
00:42Like Twitch's cousin who tweeted,
00:44you did our family so dirty.
00:47Plus.
00:48To attend the funeral, you had to sign an NDA,
00:50including his entire family.
00:51I've never seen an NDA at a funeral ever.
00:53Why the NDA?
00:54Because she doesn't want someone else
00:56to control the narrative in a negative way.
00:57She wants to control it.
00:59In a negative way?
01:00She doesn't think she's being negative.
01:01She thinks she's being sensitive.
01:02Right, because she's responding to all the hate by saying,
01:05I hope that by sharing our full story,
01:07maybe I can help someone else
01:08who might see themselves or a loved one in Steven.
01:11Yeah, she says, all of my proceeds from this book
01:13are going to fund the mental health focused foundation
01:15I started in Steven's honor.
01:17She said it after the fact,
01:18after she was getting all the backlash.
01:20Just because she said it after the fact
01:21doesn't mean she didn't plan to give it to charity
01:23before the fact.
01:24Because you would have said that in the article
01:25Yeah, like when you did your in-depth with people,
01:27you might've mentioned it.
01:30That's fair.
01:32What a mess.
01:33We miss you, tWitch.
