Ellen DeGeneres' longtime deejay and substitute host tWitch passed away from an apparent suicide. Born Stephen Boss, 40 he was found dead in a hotel room in Los Angeles. He committed suicide with a firearm.
His place of death was listed at a "hotel/motel." The case status was "closed" on the report.
tWitch worked on several films after breaking into the entertainment industry in 2008 on "So You Think You Can Dance," but he became known for bringing energy to Ellen DeGeneres' talk show for eight years.
Boss is survived by wife Allison Holker Boss and their three children.
"It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us," Holker Boss said in a statement.
"Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans."
"To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt," she continued. "I am certain there won't be a day that goes by that we won't honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children."
Holker Boss added, "Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you."
After Boss earned second place on "So You Think You Can Dance," he went on to appear in the "Step Up" film series with Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, and also in "Magic Mike XXL," "Ghostbusters" and "Modern Family."
"We will always remember Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss for the light and joy he brought into our lives and into the hearts of so many," FOX Entertainment, 19 Entertainment and Dick Clark Productions said in a statement. "This tragic, painful loss of such a radiant, inimitable talent and beloved friend is immeasurable beyond words, and we grieve alongside his family, loved ones and fans. 'tWitch,' we will miss you dearly."
Ellen DeGeneres devastated by tWitch loss.
DeGeneres and Boss worked together for years. She officially made him one of her co-executive producers of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in 2020.
"I’m heartbroken. tWitch was pure love and light," DeGeneres wrote on Instagram. "He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children - Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia."
Jennifer Lopez worked with Boss on "World of Dance." She wrote on Twitter, "Twitch was such a light and a beautiful soul… Shocked and deeply saddened. My heart breaks for Twitch, his wife and children Sending you love and strength."
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tweeted, "Man I am so sorry to hear the heartbreaking news about Twitch. Great guy. Sending his family all the love, light, strength and mana. I’ve lost a lot of friends to the struggle. You never know what’s happening between the ears. So sorry Boss family. Stay strong."
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
That ashy ass Black extremist can't leave people alone.
Since Twitter became Elon Musk's personal social media platform, hate has skyrocketed.
Anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-Jew, anti-vaccine, anti-immigrant, anti-government and anti-LGBTQ noise has been seen on Twitter.
Over 75% of Twitter's diverse workforce were fired or forced to quit because Musk is a total dickhead and his vision of a Twitter that is "free speech" has become a huge disaster.
Black extremist Candace Owens is responsible for Ye being the way he is. Thanks to her endless pandering of bullshit, Ye has lost millions. No one wants to be near him. Kim Kardashian is petitioning for supervised visits with his four children. He has lost endorsements and his billionaire status.
All thanks to Owens.
Owens often bitches about people on her podcast. When folks call her out, she runs to her legal team. She is a conspiracy theorist and grifter. She is what Jeffrey Shaun King was.
Owens is fuming about Sam Brinton, a non binary former White House official who was fired out the cannon after an allegation of theft. Brinton has a mustache, bald head, wears dresses and high heel pumps. It riles up Owens and the infamous Libs of TikTok.
Brinton, who was fired this December from their role as an official of President Joe Biden's Department of Energy, after being charged in two separate incidents of stealing suitcases from airports in the U.S.
Sam Brinton was fired out the cannon after an alleged theft at an airport.
In June 2022, Brinton made headlines after becoming the deputy assistant secretary of spent fuel and waste disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy. They were the first openly gender-fluid individual in federal government leadership.
After expressing a preference for men taller than her, Owens said: "I definitely discriminate against men that paint their nails and wear dresses. I don't really care how you feel about that.
You can wear your dress and you can paint your nails, but I'd prefer you keeping 100 feet away from a playground and all of the feet away from my children and me," Owens went on. "If I see you, I'm going to cross the street if I'm with my kids."
During the episode of the podcast, titled "Why Some People Deserve to Be Discriminated Against," Owens then mocked those who might suggest that she needs to be "more accepting of men who like to wear panties."
"I'm good," Owens said. "You can be more accepting of it. You run that risk when you see a guy that looks like a freak and you're with your children and say, 'To be accepting, I'm gonna put my kids next to him.'
"I am not going to be that person. I'm gonna go, 'That looks weird,' and I'm gonna move away from it. It's that simple."
Owens also said that she would discriminate against any adult—particularly a man—whom she saw alone in a playground, "no matter how normal they look."
Far right noise has increased on Twitter. Elon Musk has suppressed prominent critics and banned even the troll who created an account that tracks his private jet flights. He is claiming to be a "free speech absolutist." He has released the #TwitterFiles and has endangered former employees lives. Also, he has gotten Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi to promote literal misinformation online on behalf of him.
Without the Twitter Safety and Accountability board, the misinformation skyrocketed and now I am seeing on this platform the hashtag #diedsuddendly. On top of that, there is the state of Florida's governor suing the state's health board to stop distributing the COVID-19 vaccine shots.
So now Twitter exploded with more coronavirus denialism and anti-vaxxers.
Over 1.1 million people have died from the coronavirus. People are still being hospitalized for the coronavirus. People are still getting it. Though the death count has dropped from 1,300 a day to at least 240 a day, the deaths are increasing again.
For those who do not want the vaccine, that is clearly up to them.
Public health experts on the platform have expressed concerns that the change could discourage vaccinations.
"Bad news," tweeted epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding, who urged other users to stay on the platform in order to counter misinformation. "Stay folks — do NOT cede the town square to them!" Feigl-Ding, a Harvard trained scientist, has more than 700,000 followers on Twittter but some researchers have criticized his tweets as "unnecessarily alarmist," Fast Company reported.
The social media platform's policy was put into place in December 2020 in response to misinformation regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. It was quietly discontinued on November 23 with an update including a one-sentence message to users. The change comes after Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk.
While the increase in misinformation may also be due to the release of the anti-vax documentary Died Suddenly, posts regarding the documentary would likely have otherwise been blocked if it wasn’t for Musk’s change in policy.
The Biden accuser claims in 2020, Joe Biden sicc the U.S. Justice Department on her. Just one thing, Biden was a private citizen, the DOJ was under Washed Up 45.
So in 2020, this woman claimed that Biden sexually assaulted her in a Capitol Hill office building. The allegations were brought to the nation by The Intercept and its writer Ryan Grim. Then Katie Halper, Amy Goodman and numerous leftists interviewed her. In her closing argument, Reade claims that Biden should drop out and allow Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the failed Democratic candidate take the nomination.
The DOJ said clearly, the Russian Federation was trying to signal boast Washed Up 45 and sow discourse against Biden. Who magically appears when Biden was the presumptive Democratic nominee?
I was interviewed by @TuckerCarlson and he treated me with kindness as I spoke about that very rough experience of sexual assault by Joe Biden when I worked for him in the Senate. I hope there is an investigation into Joe Biden by Congress for what he did to me and to all of us. https://t.co/BXGNf4cB3p
The Krassenteins are Dem ops & back on Twitter. They relentlessly stalked me & my family & issued death threats. My daughter was traumatized. They even purchased an old phone number to stalk me. There was also hacking. Terrifying. There are police reports. @Twitter@elonmuskpic.twitter.com/5Nd0Z045aK
Tara Reade aka Tara McCabe aka Alexandria Reade aka "The Boot on My Neck" aka #IBelieveTaraReade lady. The extreme right and leftists used the social media platforms to boast this California woman who is Jane of trades.
For a brief time, Reade served as a former staffer for Biden. She claimed that she brought a gym bag to Biden and then he thrust her against a wall and digitally pernitrated her.
Reade claims the junk food media never covered it. Oh yes they did!
Matter of fact, the noise was so loud, Biden had responded to the allegations on MSNBC with Mika Brzezinski stating that he would welcome the National Archives to release any forms that accused him of misconduct. Obviously, the accuser didn't have on her. She said that it's located in the private documents of Biden at the University of Delaware.
Chile.... This woman appears on Tucker Carlson.
Carlson, a known white nationalist and sexual predator. Make this make sense!
Former Housing and Urban Development secretary Benjamin Carson fumes over his name being removed from a Detroit High School.
Students and parents petitioned for the school board to have the former Washed Up 45 official's name to be removed. He appears on Fox to complain about his freedom of speech being silenced. He takes aim at Detroit city schools and gaslights about Black conservatives being marginalized by the left.
Republicans and conservatives complain about being silenced. Yet they appear on television, talk radio, the internet and in publications. They complain about being silenced and they are still talking.
So the Benjamin Carson Midtown High School of Science and Medicine is renamed Crockett Midtown School of Science and Medicine. It was a decision approved by the Detroit School Board.
Carson is the Detroit neurosurgeon-turned-politician who endorsed the business mogul, former reality tv star and conspiracy theorist in 2016 after ending his own presidential campaign. He served as secretary of housing and urban development from 2017 to 2021, during which his agency rolled back federal efforts to fight housing discrimination.
Ben Carson upset Detroit removed his name.
Board member Sherry Gay-Dagnogo said that she has “received so many requests” from community members about Ben Carson’s name based on “many of the disparaging remarks he made from the administration that he clings to.”
She said she asked the board to renew the name change process at Carson so that “we don’t have a direct affiliation with that mindset, especially as it relates to people with challenges, housing needs, etc.”
The name is dedicated to Ethelene Jones Crockett. She was an American physician and activist from Detroit. She was Michigan's first African-American female board certified OB/GYN, and the first woman to be president of the American Lung Association. In 1988, Crockett was inducted posthumously into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.
Carson reacted to his name being removed.
"It's very sad that we've reached the point where political ideology trumps the whole purpose of an educational institution," Carson said on Sean "Softball" Hannity's night time bullshit.
"And we're seeing this wokeness spreading throughout our community to the destruction of our community. How does it do any good for us to demonize people with whom we disagree and to teach that to our children at a time when the math scores are down, the reading scores are down; academic performance is down?"
Do nothing lawmaker obsesses over the border. His district is no where near there.
Republicans complain about being silenced. Yet, they are all over talk radio, the internet and cable news yakking about their freedom of speech being taken away.
Irony.
They want to ban books.
They want to stop trans girls and trans women from playing women sports.
They want to ban critical race theory.
And yet, they're complaining about Twitter,, a private company suppressing conservative propaganda and misinformation.
The white nationalists over at Fox and within the Republican Party can not stop talking about the goddamn southern border. The U.S.-Mexican border is controlled and is safe.
The U.S. government does not turn away asylum seekers. They vet people crossing the border. They are checked for the coronavirus. They are vetted for criminal charges and fingerprinted. They are given food, medicine and human dignity.
They are not treated like zoo animals.
Republicans want to treat migrants like animals. They want to build walls, add razor wire, put them in prison, ship them to cities in the North and complain on far right platforms while doing nothing at all.
They call it the BIDEN BORDER CRISIS.
If the Republicans would stop blocking funds under President Joe Biden, things with the border would get under control. However, the United States is supposed to be the "land of opportunity."
See these assholes want to scapegoat people trying to build a better life in the states.
Despite the Left’s attacks, Americans love the First Amendment and Freedom.
Conservatives, the so called people with compassion are so worked up over immigrants crossing the Rio Grande River.
A Fox reporter happens to be right there witnessing people cross the river into El Paso.
Somehow, Fox seems to be more concerned about the border than anyone else.
It looks staged. But a do nothing lawmaker named Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) found some issue with it. He lives in rural Ohio outside of Urbana which is 1,580 miles from El Paso.
Jordan is allegedly tied to Richard Strauss, a former Ohio State University physician who molested and sexually abused men. Jordan, then a wrestling coach for Ohio State neglected to tell officials and the law that Strauss groped and fondled men when they were examined. Jordan is also one of 49 members in the conference who do nothing.
He is one of the laziest members in Congress. He never is in his district. He appears on television and radio way too much. He spends too much time on social media. He is a conspiracy theorist. He was involved in the Jan. 6 attack. He has pushed for impeachment Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Biden. He has racially charged rhetoric. He and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) will investigate Hunter Biden instead of the Jan. 6 attack. Jordan claimed the left is obsessed with Jan. 6 yet he is planning on wasting taxpayer money on investigating a private citizen.
He is clearly out of touch with America.
However, he still wins in double digits because Ohio Republicans illegally redistricted the Ohio congressional map and went clearly against a voter approved amendment that required fair redistricting.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is emboldened now that the Republicans won control of the House of Representatives. She lied under oath about being a conspiracy theorist.
She lied about serving the needs of her constituents. She barely does anything in the 14th Congressional District. She spends more time on television, doing podcasts, appearing at Washed Up 45 rallies, going to events outside her state and constantly trolls on the internet.
She lied about not being involved in overthrowing democracy. She lied about her marriage.
Greene is a liar.
She is a white nationalist. Standing at 5'1", Greene has been more of a powerful voice in the Republican Party. Her noise has made the party more extreme.
She along with 49 members of her Republican conference are considered the most laziest in Congress. You never hear about accomplishments from Greene.
The voters are deceived by the noise.
Speaking outside her district, Greene went to the New York Young Republican Club to say that if Jan. 6 attack was planned by her and Steve Bannon, "we would of won."
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s January 6th comments at last night’s New York Young Republican Club Gala:
“I got to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.” pic.twitter.com/KtiecOAlgd
Marjorie Taylor Greene, on Kamala Harris’ appearance:
“Kamala Harris, she’s so bland, and her clothes are so brown and neutral. She’s trying to do the whole gender neutral thing or maybe disappear into the background that you can’t see her.” pic.twitter.com/TYDcbXodqj
Marjorie Taylor Greene said criticism in the media “does not matter,” and advised the Republican audience to “tune it out” in order to “make changes.” pic.twitter.com/Z4UXt7UExH
Marjorie Taylor Greene, at the New York Young Republicans Club Gala:
“By the way, you can pick up a butt plug or a dildo at Target and CVS nowadays. I don’t even know how we got here. …This is the state that we’re living in right now.” pic.twitter.com/99ftnsEyA5
“I come to Washington, I swear in on January 3, I get accused of giving insurrection tours which I thought was hilarious because I couldn’t even find the bathroom in the Capitol. True story,” Greene, a Georgia Republican, said while speaking at an event by the New York Young Republican Club, according to video posted by the Twitter user @patriottakes. “Then January 6 happens, and next thing you know, I organized the whole thing along with Steve Bannon here. And I gotta tell you something: If Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would have been armed. Yeah. See, that’s the whole joke isn’t it?”
Greene continued, “They say that whole thing was planned and I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ A bunch of conservatives, Second Amendment supporters went in the Capitol without guns and they think we organized that? I don’t think so.”
Of course, it got the attention of the White House.
The White House on Monday condemned Greene’s comments, calling it “violent rhetoric” and a “slap in the face” to law enforcement and families who lost loved ones defending the US Capitol that day.
“It goes against our fundamental values as a country for a Member of Congress to wish that the carnage of January 6th had been even worse, and to boast that she would have succeeded in an armed insurrection against the United States government,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.
Greene fired back saying her remarks were "sarcastic" and she blamed President Joe Biden and Democrats for twisting her words.
Greene is expected to get a committee assignment while, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are facing the possibility of having their committees stripped. Republicans also vow to impeach Biden over Hunter Biden.
Greene also is pushing for investigations into Twitter. In 2020, Twitter had the U.S. Justice Department warn them that the Hunter Biden laptop story is possible disinformation fro. Russia and said that the story must be taken with caution. The Republicans blame Biden for actions that happened under former Attorney General William Barr who was appointed by Washed Up 45.
Greene is a worthless member of the House of Representatives. I wished people would point that out whenever they discuss her antics.
Over two weeks ago, a white terrorist shot and killed five people inside a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs. The city had many mass shootings in the past.
The city is relatively conservative.
Comedian and actor Mark Curry had an experience in the city. Curry records two men who he says approached him while he was sitting in a hotel lobby in The Mining Exchange A Wyndham Grand Hotel & Spa in Colorado Springs.
One of the men, who is white, was not displaying any identification but claimed he was an employee at the hotel and repeatedly asked Curry if he was a guest there. The other man, who was of color, claimed Curry was trying to pull “the race card” — a quip that prompted Curry to call that person an “Uncle Tom.”
Curry did not answer the question being repeatedly asked of him likely in an effort to make an example of what he called “racism.”
The video lasts 26 minutes and was filmed all because of a “Black man and a Hotel Lobby,” Curry wrote on his Instagram post, suggesting the purported hotel employees thought “it’s impossible that he has a room here.”
He expressed a similar sentiment in the video by saying to his hundreds of thousands of followers: “If you’re Black and you’re in Colorado Springs, you can’t be in the lobby. Wow! This is crazy, isn’t it?”
When Curry tried to use the restroom in the lobby, he was physically blocked from entering.
When the two men were joined by other employees, Curry said he felt “threatened.”
Later, the hotel manager issued a quasi-apology for the way hotel employees treated a patron and insisted employees would be retrained, presumably in the arena of implicit bias.
“We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for all guests and employees. We deeply regret this incident and have reached out to Mr. Curry to offer not only our sincere apologies but a full refund of his stay and an invitation to return, at no cost, anytime in the future,” Neil Cramm said in a statement to the Colorado Springs Indy, a local news outlet. “As a respected community partner, we are also using this opportunity to revisit training with our staff, helping to ensure all interactions are reflective of our company values. The Mining Exchange plays a special role in the Colorado Springs community and we will continue working each and every day to ensure that our hotel remains a space that is open and welcoming to all.”
