We all know the urban legend about Hillary Clinton and her “body count” right? So many friends and enemies close to the Clintons have died, and many of them in very suspicious ways. It’s not surprising, really. After all, Bill and Hillary have always been followed by drama and scandal. And Hillary isn’t known for being a “nice” or “sweet” little old lady. She’s always been an ornery power-chaser. And speaking of mean women, I don’t think you can get any meaner than Ellen DeGeneres. She basically lost her show, because her “meanness” became widely known.
In the early days, it was just whispered about, by a lot of people – just another “best-kept secret” in Hollywood.
But does Ellen have more than just “nastiness” in common with Hillary? Well, she might, because sadly, Ellen is racking up her own “body count.” A second person closely associated with Ellen has died…
By suicide.
And as you likely know, Ellen’s former longtime girlfriend, Ann Heche died tragically, jacked up on coke, when she drove her car into a woman’s house.
And now this… very sad indeed.
Deadline reported that Stephen Boss, better known as DJ tWitch of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, who also was a contestant-turned-judge on So You Think You Can Dance, died Tuesday in a Los Angeles hotel room, reportedly by suicide. He was 40.
His death was confirmed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner. The office did not state a cause.
In a statement, Boss’ wife, dancer Allison Holker Boss, confirmed his death, saying, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us. 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,” she continued, “would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. 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. Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”
TMZ and other news outlets are reporting that Boss died by a self-inflicted gunshot.
Boss, a dancer, choreographer and DJ, joined the Ellen show in 2014 and stayed until DeGeneres ended the talk show in 2022. Boss was made an executive producer in 2020.
Watch:
Very sad about the suicide. I hope that his family finds a way to heal. It will be hard for them.
