Just so shocking!
Never would have guessed in a million years that a personality that is as joyful and happy as Stephen-'Twitch' Boss and blessed with so much in life would ever do something like this-taking his own life at just 40 years old. Very hard to comprehend. What could have sparked Stephen 'Twitch' to do this. Very shocking! Sympathy and healing for Stephen's family and friends.
This is Sad 😔
Nice people commit suicide, no one is more special then the next. May all suicide victims Rest In Peace.🤨
Sucks man family together while I’m here wishing mine was that’s all I want and she bad too RIP
I wonder being so close to Ellen Degeneres was a problem since she’s so deep state and Epstein was a friend of hers. I say it wasn’t suicide wouldn’t surprise me if a hit was ordered on him
If you're watching this, and you feel like ending your life just to get rid of the pain, please read PSYCHOCYBERNETICS.
😢😭😞💔
Why??
😮💨😮💨
r i p
That concerns me. While in jail in 2008 they used to watch that show so I did also. My charges were bogus and I never got a fair trial. Prayers go out to the family.
Make sure no foul play 😭😭
Im sure co vid. Has alot to do with all the people….. ln a dark place Ms universe. Jumped outa a building. Had it all. Like him……. Money houses cars jewelry. Doesnt buy happiness !!!
Many ignore the obvious. I struggled horribly the last few years. Especially after a severe head injury in 2020, ignored by doctors & hospital .. being beaten up by that hospital security guards in June 16 2022 . Now I have a brain tumor. Life? I don't know anymore . Doesn't seem worth it
Is it suicide ? Seriously. Maybe not
I had a feeling it wasn't going to go well for the blacks after her show ended. Twitch really had no talent other then dance. Luckly for Alison, Kayne is in the market for a new white momma.
My heart hurts hurts! He is awesome! Will remember him with smile!
Honestly, I'm so conflicted on this. I'm heart broken for his family, I truly have not a clue of his personal trouble. I just wish he had got the help he needed , his poor family having to go through this.
Dear God he was so Hanson Jesus have mercy
Tears….
People don't always realize the weight people carry I have to lookup his birthdate to give more details of why?
Blacks and Latino's have the lowest suicide rates, but way to make it racial. Native Americans and Whites have a 300% higher suicide rate and Veterans are 600% higher.
Seriously, F off with your identity politics. You know nothing & you're not even Intelligent.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Still stunned.
I keep thinking WTF??? 😯
🕯️ tWitch 🕯️
Social media will always make us think that it's all bliss in people's lives!! RIP
Ellen bullied him like she did everyone on her staff! Cancel her!
Uh oh. I'm a semi-pro dancer and always thought it saved me from suicide…maybe it only postponed it!?
He didn't took his own life… he was murdered in a hotel room like all tge other celebrities
Our condolences are with Allison and her family. Very heartbreaking for them. 😢😭💔🌹 Our prayers to them. 🙏🏼
God, I wonder since when he was thinking of this. RIP 😔
People that committed suicide don't realize how selfish they are because the people you leave behind must suffer and deal with the pain
Yes we all deal with problems differently but suicide is not the answer
How many people were in the worst time of their lives but are today in the best time of their lives because of not giving up and believe that things gonna change
Something doesn’t seem right about this would there be any reason for him to be killed off coz we all know those who speak up or try to change the world get killed off sad news
So very sad .
So, so, shocked. I only discovered tWitch during the pandemic lockdowns. I would watch his dance videos on YouTube. He and his wife were adorable and helped me fill many empty hours when I was just stuck at home. My heart goes out to all those that love him. He was a lovely man, I hope he has found his peace now.🙏🏽❤
Stunned is the word. It all seems so sudden, so unexpected….so sad. MHSRIP🕊️
REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND SEEK THE GOD OF ISRAEL. YAHUSHA IS COMING SOON.
Without God, the demonic spirit of suicide will possess u. Salvation is through Yahusha. May Yahuah comfort those in mourning.
I HATE this! I HATE it for his family, for him, for the face of mental illness! I've massively struggled for 20 years with depression and almost gave up, several times….but my child gave me reason to fight, even when I just wanted it to end. I am a little angry about this, angry bc he had so much to fight for. There IS help, and nothing is SO big that you take yourself out of your kids life. I feel like maybe there was something he was hiding or dark secrets…..but even IF there were, it COULD have been resolved! I have to convince myself everyday to wake up, get out of bed, and make the day happen…. it's extremely hard BUT my son living without a mom would be a million times harder! GET HELP PLEASE!
Selfish self-absorbed coward doing that to his wife and children a couple weeks before Christmas! He will have to pay negative karma off for a long long time to come and yet the world will keep on spinning!
Twitch was devasted when he lost his role in the Ellen show…
i’m sure he had been dealing with something for a loooong time and finally the pain was unbearable
So, America, any clues yet something is wrong with the picture?
White woman will drive to suicide, good luck black Americans
It's called suicide, and you shouldn't be hiding that. May he RIP, despair does not know wealth or rank or gender or race, just sadness.
It’s very sad and heartbreaking. These people who commit suicide have no idea of the impact it makes upon their loved ones? It drives a stake through their heart, particularly when the person showed no signs of depression or sadness. Dancing one day and gone the next? What are the real influences in that kind of scenario?
So so very sad 😔
I’m so confused 😢 Praying for Twitch and his family
You never know what's going on in people's heads. Be at peace
