Allison Holker asked late husband Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ family to sign NDAs at his funeral service — which she explained was due to ‘conflict’ over the open casket
Years after Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ funeral, his family made headlines when they referenced NDAs Allison Holker allegedly had them sign.
A source exclusively told Us Weekly that when Boss was alive, he “asked his family to sign his NDAs, when there were things involving his kids, like birthdays, which is commonplace for celebrities to do.” In an excerpt from Holker’s memoir obtained by Us, the dancer wrote that there was “conflict” over how Boss’ body would be displayed at the service. Holker, 36, claimed his family “insisted” on an open casket because of an African American tradition.
'I couldn’t risk any photo getting leaked to the press or splashed across social media platforms and becoming the lasting image that people would have of him. My children absolutely, positively could not stumble upon such a photograph at some later date,” she wrote. 'At the advice of my lawyers, I insisted that everybody who viewed the open casket sign a nondisclosure agreement to protect Stephen's privacy, a requirement that exasperated his family.
