Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’s stepdaughter, Weslie Renae, 16, shared heartfelt memories of her late stepfather on Father’s Day through her Instagram Stories. The teenager posted throwback photos of herself with Boss, who passed away by suicide in 2022 at age 40, describing him as her “guardian angel” and expressing how much she misses him daily.
According to People, in one of the photos, Weslie appears wearing glasses and a baseball cap alongside Boss, who shows a peace sign. Another image captures a younger Weslie sporting the same hat and a bowtie while smiling next to her stepfather.
Earlier this year, Weslie addressed public criticism about her family, particularly defending their relationship. She emphasized that Boss was more than just a stepfather to her, stating, “He never made me feel like anything besides his daughter.” Their bond developed over 13 years of living under the same roof, with Boss becoming her primary source of support and comfort, something that resonated deeply with celebrities and fans who paid tribute after his passing..

Weslie expressed frustration over continued criticism two years after Boss’s passing, emphasizing that this situation affects not just her but also her younger siblings, Maddox Laurel, 8, and Zaia, 5. She described the criticism as baseless and hurtful to her family.
During her emotional address, Weslie shared intimate details of her daily life with Boss, recalling how he would wake her up every morning for breakfast and be there when he returned from work. She stressed that their relationship was not a “social media gig” but her real life.
Weslie, who is Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship, defended her mother’s right to share her story through the memoir. She clarified that the book’s purpose is not to criticize Boss but rather to allow her mother to tell her own ongoing story. The teenager concluded by describing her relationship with her late stepfather as “irreplaceable,” highlighting the profound impact he had on her life during their years together as family.
