Allison Holker Is Proud of ‘Incredible Woman’ Daughter Weslie, 16, Has Become Amid Family Drama

Allison Holker is giving her 16-year-old daughter Weslie a special shout out on social media.

“I love you weslie .. proud of the incredible woman you have become 💕,” Holker, 36, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, March 23, alongside a photo of her and Weslie posing together in complementary black outfits. The mother-daughter duo each accessorized with silver jewelry.

Earlier this year, Weslie came to her mother’s defense on social media over Holker’s This Far memoir, which detailed the alleged addiction and mental health struggles of her late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss.

“My stepdad’s been gone for two years and I’m still getting hate comments,” Weslie said in a January 10 video via Instagram. “It’s just complicated and for no reason. It’s not just a social media gig; this is literally my life. I’m so sick of getting hate comments and seeing my mom get hate for literally losing the person that she loves and I have siblings. 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.”

Holker and Boss were married from 2013 until his death by suicide in 2022 at the age of 40. In addition to Holker’s daughter Weslie, the couple shared son Maddox, 8, and daughter Zaia, 5. According to Weslie, while she was never legally adopted by Boss, he “literally raised” her.

“I get that my relationship with Stephen seems complicated, but this man raised me my entire life — since I was 1,” Weslie explained. “I have a biological dad [and] I have a relationship with him, but Stephen was the person that raised me. He literally raised me and it’s hurtful to see… so many new stories. It’s so much more complicated and I don’t know how to explain it well.”

She continued, “This is my dad, this is not, like, a joke to me. For 13 years, my parents were together, and for 13 years he was the person that I would go to about everything. He’s the person that I would cry to. He would wake me up every morning, we’d get breakfast and he was the person I’d see when he’d get 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.”

Boss’ family, including his mother Connie Boss Alexander, have spoken out against the claims made in Holker’s book, announcing via Instagram on February 12 that they would be seeking “legal counsel” over the “unproven statements” in her memoir. Along with Boss’ alleged substance abuse, she also wrote about her husband’s alleged childhood sexual abuse.

“As a family we have repeatedly shown compassion toward Allison despite her disrespectful and evasive actions since Stephen’s passing,” Alexander’s statement read, in part. “Her portrayal of Stephen appears to reshape his story into a narrative that aligns with her perspective.”

Holker previously addressed the drama in a statement of her own in January.

“I hope that by sharing our full story maybe I can help someone else who might see themselves or a loved one in Stephen,” she wrote. “In sharing I hope that maybe they can catch some of the red flags that I missed before it’s too late.”
