Stephen "tWitch" Boss' friends dismissed "RuPaul's Drag Race" judge Todrick's recent claims about the late dancer's experience due to Ellen DeGeneres' "toxic workplace" scandal.
The buzz started when Todrick told Page Six that DeGeneres' issue probably became a factor in his death.
Per the judge, people started looking at him and questioning why he was still supporting DeGeneres. For Todrick, the public's scrutiny put him under a lot of pressure.
"I don't know what was going on in his life that may have led him to make that decision but I do understand," he said, per Radar Online. "Right now when I get online some days like right now, if I was in the wrong position of where this abuse would keep happening for years and years and years, there's only so much a human being can take."
After Todrick caused a buzz due to his shocking speculation in relation to tWitch's suicide, the hip-hop star's pals told a news outlet that the claims were baseless. They added that nobody knows why died by suicide.
tWitch's friends slammed Todrick over his "extremely negligent" and "self-serving" attitude.
Authorities confirmed they retrieved a suicide note at the scene where the dancer died on Dec. 13. While they did not publicly reveal what exactly the letter said, the Los Angeles Police Department said it cited the past challenges tWitch went through before he died.
He also reportedly did not specify those challenges in his note.
Stephen "tWitch" Boss' Family Remembers Him in Private Funeral
The shocking claims came out weeks after his family laid him to rest.
HollywoodLife and other news outlets revealed that a private family funeral was held at Forest Lawn Cemetery on Jan. 4. During the ceremony, his wife Allison Holker can be seen holding their daughter, Zaia Boss, and son, Maddox, as they bid goodbye to the patriarch.
Family members and close loved ones held it privately.
tWitch was laid to rest weeks after he was found dead in a hotel room, with the officials ruling his cause of death as a "gunshot wound to the head." The small bag he carried during his check-in was retrieved by the police, and it contained a letter that happened to be his suicide note.
He reportedly set his phone to airplane mode to prevent his family and friends from contacting him.
It has since been clarified that he was not going through financial hardship prior to his passing.
