*The widow of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss will receive all his future royalties from “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” and “Magic Mike.”
Boss was known for being the hype-man and DJ on Ellen’s long-running daytime talk show. We reported previously that after Boss’ tragic death, his wife, Allison Holker Boss, legally sought to get control of half of his property and royalties. A hearing on the matter was reportedly held this week.
As The Jasmine Brand reports, in her petition, Holker noted that tWitch didn’t own anything “of value” when they married, and, “existing assets were acquired during the marriage, by virtue of the work, skills and efforts of the parties.”
Per the petition, “There were no written agreements between the parties that would have impacted the determination that the assets were community property.”

The widow is also asked for a portion of tWitch’s future earnings.
“During the marriage, decedent had numerous projects and performed as dancer, choreographer, actor and producer which resulted in rights to royalties as listed in Attachments 7a and 7b of the petition. The majority of these royalties were through Stephen Boss Productions. Petitioner has not located specific contracts related to these royalties as they constitute a stream of income being paid to decedent and the corporation. They will continue in the future as shows and productions are re-broadcast,” the petition states, according to The Jasmine Brand.
Holker asked that the court order “property passing to the surviving spouse or surviving registered domestic partner without administration.”
The judge reportedly signed off on the petition.
As previously reported, Boss was found dead in a Los Angeles motel room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Dec. 13. He shared three children with his wife: Weslie, 14, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3.
