This new statement comes just one day after she and her younger son Dre Rose talked with CBS News about Boss, their relationship with Holker now, and her memoir.
“We, the Boss Family, are completely appalled by the misleading accounts and inconsistencies in Allison’s book,” the family said in a statement shared to Alexander’s Instagram. “As a family, we have repeatedly shown compassion toward Allison despite her disrespectful and evasive actions since Stephen’s passing,” she continued. “Her portrayal of Stephen appears to reshape his story into a narrative that aligns with her perspective.”
“These statements, along with her insensitive opinions about mental health, add unnecessary hurt during an already difficult time. Stephen does not deserve this treatment, in life or death, and her accounts cause us to doubt everything she has uttered publicly and privately.”
“Due to the unproven statements published in Allison’s memoir, we have decided to seek legal counsel to examine this matter,” the family wrote. “There are a lot of unanswered questions and we want answers.” Boss died in December 2022. In her interview with CBS News, Alexander recalled texting her son for the final time on Dec. 12, 2022. She called the conversation “ordinary,” saying they chatted about work and her grandchildren. The next day, she said Holker called her, wondering if she had heard from Boss. Hours later, he was discovered dead in a hotel room. Alexander told CBS News that her son “truly was kind and caring and always wanting to make sure you were OK and taking care of you.” “We were a very affectionate family. So very affectionate,” Alexander said, adding that she immediately flew to California to meet with Holker and her grandkids.
“The intent was to grieve together, be a family together, ‘cause we are family, we’re Boss and we wanted to be there for her.”
In her memoir, “This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light,” Holker wrote that she was concerned pictures of Boss would leak to the public. As a result, she made the family sign nondisclosure agreements, according to CBS News. Alexander said she “truly understand(s) that. I guess my issue with it is that we are a family. I’m his mother. What did you honestly think I was going to do?” she said to CBS News. Alexander told CBS she was not allowed to see Boss or attend his funeral if she did not sign the NDA. “To make me sign a document, to see the child that I brought into the world, I can’t even put into words what that feels like,” Alexander said. In regards to Holker’s memoir, Alexander said she was surprised by the contents, noting that her family learned about some contents along with the public.
“I guess my thought is, first of all, that was his story to tell,” Alexander said, admitting she wasn’t aware of the alleged abuse he wrote about experiencing as a child in his diary.
As for his alleged drug use, Boss’s younger brother Dre Rose told CBS News that he “knew that recreationally he’s used or tried things. That wasn’t a shock to me,” Rose said. “This cornucopia of drugs, that had to be Googled … We don’t know anything to be true … It’s someone else’s version and if that is the truth, there could have been a better way to bring that to the family,” Rose continued. Now, both Rose and Alexander hope to read Boss’s diaries for themselves.
