Years after Stephen “tWitch” Boss‘ funeral, his family made headlines by referring to NDAs Allison Holker they are said to have signed.

After several of Boss’ loved ones made the claim, TMZ obtained the document on Monday, January 13, reporting that the family members have been financially prevented from “collecting any money from a memoir about their relative and his death.” According to the outlet, the Boss family and others who signed the paperwork agreed to give Holker any money they received from the press and books about him.

Stephen “tWitch” Boss’s 2022 funeral reportedly sparked family tensions over the use of non-disclosure agreements.

“I couldn’t risk any picture being leaked to the press or splashed across social media platforms and becoming a permanent image that people would have of him. My children definitely could not stumble upon such a photograph later,” he wrote. “On the advice of my lawyers, I insisted that everyone who viewed the open casket sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect Stephen’s privacy, a requirement that aggravated his family. ‘If we have to sign NDAs,’ they said, ‘then everyone has to sign an NDA.’ ‘No problem,’ I replied.”

She continued, “But in one day, we had an open casket watching Stephen. We had a funeral, and then we had a week, and my mother asked for NDAs to be signed when we saw Stephen’s body because God forbid someone should take a picture of Stephen and put it on the internet or share it with him. someone else. That’s the kind of thing NDAs are for. That’s not how you can ever talk about Stephen.”
