The sudden, sad death of Stephen "tWitch" Boss has left so many people reeling.
Wondering what happened.
He seemed happy.
Always smiling.
All his videos show him happily dancing with his beautiful wife, and three children in their beautiful home.
I've been a fan of his since 2008 when he came in second place on So You Think You Can Dance.
I was obsessed with that show and LOVED him on it.
I've followed him on his social channels since then.
Watching as he and his wife welcomed their children.
Dancing into our lives and bringing smiles to our faces.
And then.
On December 13, 2022, just 3 days after celebrating their 9th wedding anniversary, Stephen Boss was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
What the actual fuck.
Obviously, I didn't know this man.
But from the appearances, he seemed happy.
He had it all.
He made it big.
But this just goes to show.
You can seemingly have it all.
And yet, have nothing.
Or feel like you have nothing.
I cannot even start to imagine how he must have felt. That there was no hope left and this was the only thing left.
What's frustrating me the most right now though, is the fact that the news outlets keep referring to him as "Ellen's DJ" - UM HELLO. He joined the Ellen show in 2014.
He had a career before that.
Sure, maybe his gig on Ellen and the fact that he eventually became an Executive Producer on the show gained him popularity later on, but he definitely had a following and fanbase prior to Ellen.
So the headlines "Ellen's DJ sidekick" - wut?
He wasn't even a real DJ for fuck's sake (not from what I've read online). He was a dancer, dance instructor, entertainer, producer, and actor, among others.
And he played music and danced on Ellen's show as an EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.
So there you have it, folks.
Social media, the news.
It's all fucking fake.
Stephen seemed happy on his social platforms and everyone is in shock that he took his own life.
And the fucking news media can't even give him the credit he deserves in his own right.
He was so much more than "Ellen's Sidekick DJ."
RIP Stephen 'tWitch' Boss.
