The former talk show host didn’t even talk to her now dead co-star unless it was absolutely necessary and I can’t think of a time where she even talked to him after the show ended, so her tribute seems disingenuous at best.

Ellen DeGeneres ‘heartbroken’ over death of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss: ‘He was my family’
Ellen DeGeneres is among the stars mourning Stephen “tWitch” Boss, whose death was confirmed by wife, Allison Holker Boss, on Wednesday. Boss was the longtime DJ of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. In a statement on social media, DeGeneres said she’s “heartbroken” over the passing of her friend and collaborator.
“tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him,” DeGeneres captioned a photo of her and Boss. The former talk show host asked for “love and support to” the dancer’s family.
DeGeneres hired Boss as the DJ of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2014. He later became an executive producer before the program ended in May. The two also worked together on DeGeneres’s NBC game show Game of Games. Boss publicly backed the Emmy-winning host when she was accused of facilitating a toxic workplace in 2020.
In an emotional statement, Holker Boss called the entertainer “the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.” The So You Think You Can Dance alums celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary four days ago. They share three children: Weslie, 14, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3.
Boss died on Tuesday, but his cause of death is unconfirmed. TMZ claimed he died by suicide.
Kalen Allen, actor and guest contributor for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, shared a heartfelt message to his “beloved friend, confidant, and brother.”
“God knows, my heart is at a standstill because I have never known a friend like you. No words, dance, or show can adequately capture just how magnificent your existence was to this world and me,” the internet personality began. “In a world where it was easy to get lost in the shadows, I am grateful that we always saw each other. We were each other’s number one fan and often the light in each other’s darkest hours. I am very sorry that the darkness found a voice this time and became too loud.” – Source
