“We can’t speak too much legally”: Stephen ‘Twitch’ Boss Was Happy The Ellen DeGeneres Show Ended Amidst Abusive Set Behavior Allegations Despite Siding With Ellen
You must be feeling pretty heartbroken about Ellen DeGeneres’ decision to retire from the show the following year, don’t you? If so, are you mistaken? You are not alone. Stephen “tWitch” Boss, a choreographer, DJ, and co-host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, also had some yet opposite feelings about her ending the show and beginning a new phase of life.
The former The Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ, So You Think You Can Dance contestant, and executive producer- Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss had kind of seen it coming. Whereas the fans of daytime TV (and dance!) are lamenting its end, on the other hand, Boss felt, there’s something good coming out of it. The 40-year-old, who tragically shot himself, refused to provide more information about the allegations made against her.
Stephen ‘Twitch’ Boss admitted he never turned his back on the controversial talk show host
Boss, aka ‘tWitch’ Boss, debuted as a guest DJ on Ellen DeGeneres’ syndicated daytime talk show in 2014 before joining as a regular. Later, in 2020, he was appointed the program’s co-executive producer. In May, DeGeneres’s 19-year run came to an end. In 2013, Boss was invited to appear on the show as a guest DJ before turning into a regular the following year. He got the audience pumped up by leading the show’s dance routine in each episode.
Everyone is aware that DeGeneres had to deal with a significant backlash when information about her show and its toxic working environment emerged. Ex-employees spoke openly about their upsetting encounters with her. One of those who spoke was Stephen Boss. Boss was unable to provide more information at the time of his words. But, he assured DeGeneres that he still had her back by saying that there was “love” present in the working environment. He stated, “We can’t speak too much legally about it, but I’ll say this, there’s been love.”
During the interview, Boss also talked openly about how much he valued the time he had with his family during the pandemic restrictions and acknowledged he would experience separation anxiety when it came time to return to work. The show’s 19th season came to an end with the final episode, which was filmed in April and released in May. After the majority of former employees complained about racism, sexual misconduct, and bullying in a July 2020 report, the show’s ratings took a significant hit.
Stephen “Twitch” Boss broke his silence on allegations against the Ellen DeGeneres Show!
It was pretty motivating for Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss to hear his longtime coworker explain why Ellen DeGeneres was leaving (and to dispel any rumors that her choice had anything to do with the claims of a toxic workplace from the previous year). However, when they officially part ways next spring, no amount of pride will be able to stop him from crying uncontrollably.
And Boss, who co-hosted Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings for two seasons with his wife Allison Holker, has every intention of assisting DeGeneres in keeping his promise to make each day of the final season a celebration. He was popular for his music and occasionally busting a move, and he had worked on Ellen’s show up until its end.
The controversy didn’t deter him from sticking by DeGeneres, and when three other producers were let go, he eventually took over as executive producer. The toxic workplace scandal that resulted in the 2020 termination of three of DeGeneres’s top producers—executive producers Ed Glavin and Kevin Leman, as well as co-executive producer Jonathan Norman in May. While filming her final season, she described the controversy as “a very, very difficult time.”
