It's been several friends and his family who blasted her and her book. With that said, it does not appear her "representation" of she revealed this to help someone similarly situated rings true. She is denying his family access to the children, she made his family sign an NDA to attend the funeral and she said in an interview that there were no signs but then states he was not bathing, 😅he was showing two different behaviors and was not eating...those were the signs. She was with him for 13 years but she didn't see any signs? Hear this and hear it well, everyone has a pattern to their routine and personality and when they start doing things different from that routine out of nowhere that is the sign, IF one chooses to notice. It's the equivalent to a person cheating, eventually, they will show signs of different behaviors in the words of Maya Angelou "People show you who they are, you have to CHOOSE to believe them." 13 years is a long time to not notice ANY signs. JS
So somebody paid to cover up his drug use through the toxicology report but didn't tell her. She wasn't in the group chat? And she didn't know what the toxicology report said, and that it was public information, okay. @@hadijatkubrat3580
There is nothing to defend, because there is no shame in being a victim of abuse or struggling mentally. Whoever, I do see this as a violation. Someone’s journal is private. At most, this should’ve only been shared with his children, once they were old enough to comprehend and understand. I feel dirty just thinking about reading his personal experiences and thoughts as he did not give me that permission.
This comment is seriously unnecessary. It could be a blatant lie and at best he hid this from the public because he did not want the world to know his personal struggles@@MsRose00
So everyone involved in his life should live a lie? I don’t understand this mindset at all. The truth is always going to be more helpful and impactful than a lie or a façade.
One can't help but wonder if she’s motivated by the possibility of financial gain. This situation feels unnecessarily exposed; honestly, we didn’t need to be privy to such personal information.
I think she could have shared the particulars with her family, but saying the fans wanted answers. No!!! Everything does not have to be explained to the internet
@@RaySw89 Yes! We keep thinking this is normal to tell Internet strangers everything. He obviously didn't want people to know that in life, specifically him being assaulted as a child.
You're so right. It's normalized even amongst people who aren't public figures. People do it for free. Offer someone a check and they'll spill the tea on everyone they know!
He kept it a secret and you see how that ended. Please stop normalizing image and silence and start normalizing letting these monsters have to answer to their actions. This pov makes children feel they have to keep things hush hush and then they have demons chasing them in adulthood and cause trauma to others
Honestly, I felt like something was very suspicious surrounding Twitch’s passing. His autopsy showed no substances in his system but now he is a junkie .. Come on something is not smelling right!
The kids should know!!! Why keep it from them. The truth will help them, I'm sure they will now understand why he did what he did, and have compassion. It will also help with any issues they will have that needs to be clarified.
@@tomaradoss3420 I agreed with candace 100% and Kempire I disagree with you what you said about candace that's not the same you said she goes to white publist NOT THE SANME.
Then she should've told them directly, not shared it with a bunch of strangers FIRST. Write a book only they can read! They'll now be reading a bunch a commentary on what's not our business
As a mom, I would never. Her children will read all of this one day and can possibly be mad at their dad. She should have kept this in her therapist office.
I don't think he unalived himself. I think she set him up & took his life. I think she took him out for his life insurance. I don't think she ever loved him but seen a pay day in him. So many BM are gullible when it come to asian, yt and latina women. She's now with the yt man she always wanted & spending Twitch money on him.
@@cuteiswhatIaimforhearing about her grief and his struggles are 2 different things. We didn't need to know about his drug issues or his personal issues him unaliving himself was enough to know he was struggling personally
@@potatochip4202She sure did. She changed her last name in twenty four hours after her past. That woman is trying to fool people about who she really is.
She’s using his death to be famous. Something didn’t sit right with me about her when Twitch passed. I don’t believe Twitch would’ve wanted his personal business out here. That’s probably why he kept things to himself. In his journal.
IMO, if I was his family, I would be upset about airing out his secrets, even if he is no longer here. I just don’t agree with her telling people things he obviously didn’t want others to know.
ESPECIALLY since the parents have came out and said they were excluded from all the planning and memorial and have never seen his kids since and blamed her
@@Felicia1972 Everyone doesn't need to know everything. She could have kept it at "He had some addiction issues and was dealing with childhood trauma."
@@Aekbonita1986but that is her truth. I don’t understand why people have a problem with others sharing their life story just because it includes other people. He was a part of HER life so why should she leave that out? Like, we wouldn’t know important facts about historical figures if everyone was safe keeping important details. Absurd
Right message/wrong messenger. Exposing your loved one’s journal entries without explicit consent his probably one of the worst violations I can think of.
There is a difference in not talking about it outside the house and sharing stuff with the general public. She can have these conversations outside the house to a therapist who can actually help, not to a book publisher. I am not buying the BS about her healing journey. She could have said he was dealing with a lot without going into detail about things that he never wanted the general public to know. This is not about healing this is about a publishing check.
100% this is not the same as not sharing at all. There’s a big difference between going public and going to therapy. Love me some Kempire but sometimes his line of work straddle a thin line going too far into people private lives. We aren’t entitled to know everything about everyone no matter how entertaining it may be
I mean I could of went my whole rest of the year without her disclosing this. However the Addiction and Depression was on one and two things, but her speaking on his allege Child abuse was not for her to share, that was his trauma.
I agree, if it wasn’t revealed in his life, it should not have been revealed in his death. We’ve had countless conversations about drug addictions so i’m not sure what additional information she offered to the conversation other than airing her husband out.
If my personal struggles were outed after my death when I didn't say it when I was alive or let you know I'd want you to share it then please keep it to yourself. The fact that you had to read a diary to understand your own husband means he wasn't there yet and this conversation could be had with her children when they are older.
Breaks my heart cause “ keeping it to yourself “ is probably why he couldn’t talk to anyone and felt the only way to stop how he felt was to leave. And because people kept it to themselves he didn’t know there could have been a better solution.
I see your point..also you have to feel safe in order to trust someone with your deepest darkest self. You know that Alicia Keys song "Diary" - gotta feel like your secrets will be safe with the one you love (or even with a professional)
I agree which is why Allison could still bring awareness and advocate for mental health transparency without revealing his personal trauma. If she went on a book tour that discussed the stigma of mental health amongst men of color and focused on initiatives regarding that, I would totally support that. Communities could still benefits from that without knowing the personal details of Twitch’s journals. That’s where I draw the line. I’m not even as offended by the details of him self medicating. But revealing the details of his journal seems like a great violation of trust.
Thank you. We have way too many people stating to keep this to yourself. The main thing I'm hoping is that she talked to the kids about this before even publishing. There are some things I would definitely keep out but not the mental health and the stress that he was going. I think this is the main problem in my community no one wants to talk about mental health. They want to keep it a hush hush or secret. Honestly, we are too scared to say anything because we don't want someone to call us crazy or judge us.😢
This reminds me of Robin Williams. Someone that brought so much joy to to everyone else, yet, they're in so much pain. Hopefully, this book will help those that are struggling.😢
In my opinion, she should never have discussed his personal journals and his childhood abuse. That’s private information that only his family should discuss. It’s not her story to tell! I feel for his children😢
@@janiceguillory The cousin said that Allison had basically cut off contact with Twitch's family and the grandparents weren't allowed to maintain a relationship with Twitch's kids.
I thought this was of poor taste when I watched the video. Like the world didn’t need to know this. I get she lost her husband, but I don’t feel like this gives her the right to divulge the his struggles, especially the of sexual abuse if he didn’t divulge this information himself.
This is giving the energy of the 'woman who poisoned her husband and wrote a book.' This was very recent and she was arrested due to conflicting stories in her book.
This is her grieving. Trying to figure out why her husband did what he did. She's still lost and tryna figure out why? The public can't tell this woman how to grieve.
I am glad Kemp you pointed that out. Call a spade a spade. We as black are always good at calling out someone. But we don't like it when we get called out. We are always contradicting ourselves. Thanks.❤
Probably the reason...mom's never said anything. Who would want this known about their deceased love one. What about the kids? Is this something they should know?
I’m really not interested in Candice talking about the plight of a black man when she’s married to a white man. She could have sat this out. And stuff like this is why Candace rubs me the wrong way many times she’s quick to claim color biases but can state openly that she’s unhappy her babies won’t be dark skinned…🙄
Man Kempire you ain’t lied. Let’s call a thing a thing. She went where she felt comfortable and we should respect that. Just like everyone else chooses their desired media outlet. We keep praying for this family and supporting them ❤🙏
Kempire I appreciate this video, I am currently working on my PhD in Couple and Family Therapy and I often do not make comments on videos, but I felt this was important to state. It is very easy to point the finger at Allison rather than pointing the finger at a community in which an immense amount of stigma is attached to mental health. Being a biracial woman (father is Black and mother is French, White) and a Couple and Family therapist, this is something that I have experienced and witnessed personally and professionally. Candace is correct in saying that Black men are stigmatized within the mental health setting and in society, and the way depression and other mental health issues present among Black men looks very different; however, it is important to recognize the intersection of Stephen’s experience and her experience as his wife and now widow. I hope in her healing journey she can gain a better understanding of how he had to show up as a black man struggling with these mental health issues, which can better inform how she navigates their children.
Didn’t she say when her husband met her he didn’t pay her any attention? She said they met several times before she got him alone and finally got his attention she has also had issues with her mother not allowing her to see her grand children. This is only one side of a story that can only be told by one person now somethings should be left alone. This conversation should have been discussed with his mother and maybe they could have decided to disclose this together.
With Candace the majority of the things she says is about race. It is if she is trying to show her blackness bc she married a white man. It seems like she got some issues abt race she needs to deal with.
She is always projecting her insecurities on being dark skin that she went as far as marrying a broke White man with several baby mamas.. Black is beautiful and I can never be a victim.
She’s a devil she’s saying he was addicted to drugs how does she know that just because you found mushrooms in the closet does that make him a drug addict smfh these witches will destroy you even in death
Well he was on drugs. People don't just have drugs laying in there shoe boxes. And it's no secret that often depression and addiction can go hand in hand. Also he is in Hollywood so drugs and addiction is nothing new.
He was her husband. She would’ve known he was on something. It is her story to tell if she wants to. He was her husband and the father of her children. Who are you to say she shouldn’t?? Some random weirdo on the internet 🙄
@@mosimosi630it most definitely is. He brought this tragedy upon his family, then they have all right to tell it. Why are we acting like suicide is okay? He was selfish and unappreciative of the life he had. Miss me with the mental health bs when you’re doing copious amount of party drugs.
Kempire narrative and opinions on this subject were 100% on point! WOW! WELL SAID!!!! Everything he said, is true and correct and should be shouted from the rooftops!!!! OMG, as a society we need to allow people to express themselves, especially the ones in grief, in a way that is comfortable for them and in a way that will bring healing to them. There is no right way or wrong way of going about it, a person just needs to create their own path through all the darkness/grief to again find the light, and this is simply her way of doing it. On a humane level, we should make every effort to ensure that our words are kind towards her, fully knowing that she has to be both strong for herself and her children, who I am sure, in their innocence, was impacted & affected in a mind-blowing way by the lost of their father in such an unexpected way. Please, let's show care and love towards each other, and be compassionate, one to the other.
I've always looked at his wife side- eyed, in the way she explained his death and the treatment of his mother and family. The man has been died for two years or more. Keep this information to yourself and talk to God if she knows Him.
I’m going to say this as a black man, I’m not mad that she did what she did, as someone who works in a mental health facility and here’s all patients story’s a lot of people keep things to themselves bottled up. People this was his wife they shared kids and a life together. What’s wrong with what she’s done, I see nothing wrong with what she’s done. I also grew up in a household of what goes on, this house stays in this house and it was a house of horrors, and it almost took me out as an adult. As I’m reading a lot of comments alot of people are saying, she should have kept it to herself, and why thou. She is actively helping others through what she’s discovered from her husbands death, through those journals he’s wrote. I understand they share children together, and what this will do to them. It could help there journeys into adulthood. Like I said mental health is very real, yall. May he continue to rest in peace.
People who are telling the wife that she should not share the struggles that her husband was going through are the reasons that so many people suffer silently with trauma... and then delete themselves. There is no shame in the truth. There is only healing. People need to stop mythologizing celebrities. They are human and they have the same difficulties that everybody has. Maybe if Twitch was not worried about how his fans would receive his troubles, he would have shared and not felt ashamed of his life. Exposing shame to light is the best way to eradicate it. This story will help other people who are tired of caring trauma. They may seek counseling. They may tell someone. And the person who listens may may sit back and listen without passing judgment or offering opinion. Maybe another wife or husband will see the signs before it is too late.
People’s obsession with keeping things private is exactly why people will keep unaliving themselves in this manner. This is a grieving widow processing and walking her healing journey. You’all are strung up on her revealing these things about her late husband while your own brother, son, husband or whoever could benefit from hearing this. I honestly will never understand the hate towards Allison.
That is her story to share as she pleases. Sadly, many Black men are now turning to unaliving themselves out of desperation, so if this helps one then bravo. I could care less about legacy. This needs to be discussed. I feel for that woman. I can't imagine the pain she is going through.
I’m a Candiace fan but i will always acknowledge that she can be a hypocrite. I think Candiace speaks on race so much because she overcompensates for marrying a White man. What was her purpose in emphasizing Black children when they are also half white? When Twitch passed there was very little empathy for his wife, people even blamed her for his death not knowing what the cause was. I believe Twitch left the information around so that she would understand after he’s gone. Her sharing is helpful to many introverts in extrovert jobs like myself.
Damn. I love Candiace but I agree with you about the overcompensating. I have no issue who people choose to marry but be normal about it. No need to overcompensate to prove things to people
This was not her story to tell. This made me violently mad and Candiace going to people about a pregnancy is not the same. Everyone goes to people mag to announce a pregnancy. Also Candiace is telling HER story not her dead husband's. Last people are not mad someone is speaking out about mental health. The problem is he obviously didn't want people to know so it's not her job to out him. The family said she has been trying yo tarnish his legacy.
Would she have exposed this truth when he was living? No, because it wasn't her truth to tell. He was ashamed hence why he did not share this with the world and wore a mask. Many of us can relate and sympathize unfortunately. Im saddened that this truth has been revealed and his family and children have to remember his legacy in this way. She could have most certainly written her memoir and told the world how she has navigated this difficult time and still do it with kindness and graciousness.
Glad to see many in the comments understood why she chose to share this publicly. Just cuz most of us might not have done the same doesn’t mean she shouldn’t grieve and educate others in the way that feels right for her. Thank you Kempire for being reasonable about it.
Twitch's wife did lose her husband and has to process that, but she also found time to write a book just the same. So is this "promotion"?.... Well, we're calling out a thing. Let's also not act like a pregnancy announcement is the same as the details of someone who unalive themselves...
She knew what were going on. I got a bad feeling about her. She isn’t that in love with him. She trying to make money. Watch what you do to other people. She will get that same energy.
It baffles me…what is the difference between her letting people know about twitch and his mental health battles vs a luther vandross documentary or whitney houston documentary like what’s this outrage about? He left her…HIS choice! I took it as her telling others to pay attention to the signs.
Smh at these comments. He CHOSE to take his own life, leave his wife and children alone and yall trippin on how she chooses to tell her story to heal. The kids would have known the truth anyway. We all wanted to know what happened anyways and she's telling us. She can't win. Let the woman be. She's been through enough.
I think Allison needs to expose the male figure that harmed her hubby, cause kids dont ever forget or heal from that. I have a cousin that was molested by our uncle and now his a grown father of one but he started relapsing during the covid lockdown and now his a full blown Addict and his wife left him and he lost custody of his child cause his parents dont want to believe him and also not take the uncle to book. He wants our uncle to b exposed for the community to see cause his a respected man in the community. I feel for people that went through this as kids esp boys cause we tend to not give them the same sympathy as girls. Praying for healing for all
She can’t miss the opportunity of pointing out Race or color. I used to love her but she is too childish and hypocritical . With her broke WHITE husband.
Seems very exploitative. Girl what are you gaining from exposing this now? Let the man rest. His kids are gonna grow up and see this one day. Are the 15 mins of press going to be worth the trauma the kids might face with this type of narrative out in the public?
I can see both sides and respect that her intention is to help folks that are struggling by sharing her story. However, personally I don’t think she needed to divulge what he was dealing with. Especially since it seems like he tried to hide it from his loved ones. I think there’s a way to talk about the importance of mental health and noticing signs without publicly sharing intimate details. Sharing his last words to his child is something the public didn’t need to know.
This is a part of her life and she has the right to tell it how and when she wants. No one has the right to say how she should do it. I can’t even imagine going through that with three kids.
We have been socialized to keep abuse (ie sexual abuse) drug addiction, and mental health struggles quiet and hidden from legal authorities, schools and health officials, and other family members because of repercussions that may break up, separate families, and cause incarceration. Many people have learned to carry trauma and “find an outlet” via journaling, church, fine arts, etc. Kempire, thank you for providing commentary on this topic and someone’s own personal and intimate experience with compassion, understanding, and grace. I hope we all do moving forward .
I agree that she shouldn’t have shared it with the world but Candace harping on her race does not surprise me. It is unrelated but she is ALWAYS talking about someone’s race or color in a derogatory way. She even showed her prejudice towards her future children in that interview talking about what color she wants them to be. I know most ppl miss her but I really don’t. Her obsession with race and skin is too much.
I think she did the right thing. I myself lost a close friend the same way. I was always thinking about what was going through her head. She was also a popular person and always smiling. I do still talk about her and her achievement. In the black community we still don't talk about mental issues. This year I lost my husband 4 years ago and we were married to each other for 30 years. I went to a grief counselor and it did help me through the hard times. I wish my friend could get some help during her depression and I wish I knew more about what she was going through.
1) That was a REALLY weird take from Candiace 2) I don't see anything wrong with what his wife said or how she chose to share it. She said just enough to give insight into the fact that she learned about his struggles after he was gone, without putting the details of his business in the street. To me, it sounded very respectful of his life and memory.
But she NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT HERSELF AND HAVING A KID ALREADY. THAT'S HER STORY AND THE DRUGS SHE USED OH BUT HE WAS A JUNKIE AND GUESS WHAT HE WASN'T ALONE.
She was his wife!! He unalived himself and left her to pick up the pieces! I can’t imagine how devastating it has been for her and the kids! We always scream mental health matters but no one checks on those left behind. We need more documentaries on the people left behind after someone unalive themselves. As a wife and a mother, I can’t even begin to phantom!! Also the trauma that he left with the oldest daughter with. I’m here for Allison doing what’s best for her and the kids❤️
You know she recently came out about her new man. I saw where the cousin posted she hasn’t allowed his family to see the children and required them to sign a NDA to attend the funeral.
@@Its_Mecheleyou want het stay miserable and single like you? I won’t waste my time grieving someone who committed suicide. He was fuckinng selfish and y’all out here making excuse for his pathetic behaviour.
@@Its_Mechele is she not allowed to date? She didn’t divorce, she became a widow:( and yes sign the NDA!! He was known and people act up at funerals! She protected him with the NDA. The family knew her for how many years? Now all of the sudden they don’t like her?
This is cold. He did everything he could to shield the world from this until it became too much. To release these deeply personal aspects of his struggle is heartless and self-serving. May he rest and peace.
We love the openness of a family because it takes a lot of heart, courage, and care to support fans and the people who genuinely love them. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Wife and Kids-we truly appreciate it. I’m going to talk to my children and help them work through their mental trauma, inspired by her sharing her family’s journey. If we’re keeping it real, the crazy part is that people hide so much in the closet, and that’s why they never heal or grow. This pattern continues from generation to generation. She’s trying to break that curse. God bless her, and God bless her children.
Honestly it bothers me when families don’t want to share what happened to a member who passed like it matters if anyone knows or not. We can all learn from others’ lives and deaths ❤
You don't get to tell anyone how to cope with your unaliving after you've left them and your kids to pick up the pieces. What's wrong with people!?;?! How do you blame the living victims? Ugh
I don’t understand why some people take their private life to the internet 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️??? It might’ve been more appropriate to share this with her therapist and not strangers on the internet. Surely she can’t need the money from the book OR the attention 😬😵💫😩
It makes me wonder if she found something in those journals that pissed her off….putting this out there…revealing his private thoughts to the world?! Who would do this to their spouse that passed away?! There was no reason for this unless he himself left permission to do so upon his death.
Are you sure? Because "us" sisters are constantly on social media airing our "brothers" business in the street for public consumption, the world sits back and laughs about. They make no money from it to support themselves or their children, so make that make since.
This is a story that has many layers. .Kempire, hearing you report on a topic of this nature and then present an array of very valid and different viewpoints in such a measured and emphatic way so effortlessly makes me believe you're called to advocacy work....esp emotional/mental wellness.
Well said Kempire. Let’s give this family some grace and not be quick to judge. Unfortunately if a person wants to complete they will usually find a way . I pray that his wife, family and her children can find peace. The guilt associated with this topic is unbearable for many and their struggle with the guilt of the questions what if, maybe , could I have stopped it or why didn’t I recognize the signs is unreal.
I love you Kempire but I respectfully disagree. You missed the point (and maybe you haven't seen) that she has made his entire family (including his mother) sign NDAs at his funeral to "protect his legacy" and has kept the children from seeing his family all while exposing his personal secrets to sell her book. This is far beyond a grieving widow. This is exploitation. She dropped his last name 48 hours after the news of his passing on social media and as stated she doesn't want to be known as just Twitchs wife. She's using this opportunity to tarnish his legacy, while trying to create her own. It's disgusting.
Clearly she was not a "safe place" for him or else she would have known a little something. Her healing is necessary. Do it privately. Say something more palatable publicly if you must. If autopsy didn't show drugs in his system then better care should have been taken when airing such details. He clearly was going through things and I think that the public accepted it as such. That alone was a teachable moment. All that extra was unnecessary. That's my opinion.
When I read the article I was like why did she do that! However after listening to you, I realized that this is her truth and I need to stop my judgement and opinions. This is a part of healing journey. Thank you for this! You open up another important point of view.
I will not tell anyone how to grieve the loss of a loved one. Secrets can cause unforseen damage. What she shared was honest and didnt seem harmful. Maybe I'm missing something.....I will continue to watch and read for clarity.
Just because we don't tell the block about what goes on in the house don't assume everyone is keeping secrets. She could have written her book and spoken about his mental struggles and how that affected her and their children without bringing his deep secrets (diary) and drug addiction. Stop making excuses for someone making herself the center of her husband's pain.
The lost art of testimonies, protecting the dead, when the dead know NOTHING… is a non factor. Leave that lady alone and let her share her testimony. Let the living learn.
I DO NOT BLAME HER one bit for telling her story. Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, WHATEVER. SHE LOST HER HUSBAND AND HAD NO IDEA. She didn't have to KEEP A SECRET BCUZ HE DID .......... THIS is why Black Women are stressed, walking around with High blood pressure and Gray hair at age 30 BCUZ you walking around with bags and bags of groceries like Erykah Badu said...... My opinion is My business, I'm drinking water AAANNDDD opening my mouth ...... I hope this had brought some relief to her........"Outside the house" SHUT UP......😑🙄
I wish somebody would tell me how to grieve my dead husband and/or how to share what I want after being hurt by their SUDDEN, self-inflicted passing. They may have to meet me outside!
I fell like this is what we want from celebrity memoirs, the vulnerability and transparency. We all know this was a defining moment in her life, so of course she would talk about it. This was a very dark time in her life and the lives of her children, and in my opinion, this may very well be a part of their healing. I also think it may help others who have loved ones who may be exhibiting similar signs, or may have passed in similar ways, and are struggling to help them. Either way, I don’t think there’s shame in mental illness, many amazing people struggle with it daily. I actually think her sharing might start some necessary conversations - especially in the black community.

So everyone involved in his life should live a lie? I don’t understand this mindset at all. The truth is always going to be more helpful and impactful than a lie or a façade.
Right!!! Why would you tarnish his image after the fact

The fact that she SAYS "he was introverted", and then she does THIS. No ma'am. Let's talk about the cult-like church she's adjacent to, instead.
One day this will return to her....when her kids are grown. I hope she'll be ready.

I think she could have shared the particulars with her family, but saying the fans wanted answers. No!!! Everything does not have to be explained to the internet
@@RaySw89 Yes! We keep thinking this is normal to tell Internet strangers everything. He obviously didn't want people to know that in life, specifically him being assaulted as a child.
You're so right. It's normalized even amongst people who aren't public figures. People do it for free. Offer someone a check and they'll spill the tea on everyone they know!
He kept it a secret and you see how that ended. Please stop normalizing image and silence and start normalizing letting these monsters have to answer to their actions. This pov makes children feel they have to keep things hush hush and then they have demons chasing them in adulthood and cause trauma to others
@ No one said it should be hush hush. Having a conversation with your family, Dr, Religious leader is one thing, but tell the internet, WHY??
🎯💯
Honestly, I felt like something was very suspicious surrounding Twitch’s passing. His autopsy showed no substances in his system but now he is a junkie .. Come on something is not smelling right!
That’s what I’m saying!!!!!
Hi l don’t believe he killed hisself &l don’t trust his wife either
Unless he was in recovery
@ in recovery and wife doesn’t know it .. Nope 👎🏽.. I don’t believe it! I work in addiction!
@ so you think she knew when he was going to and why he was going to leave this world?!
I would have kept this to myself. Your children will have to read this one day.
The kids should know!!! Why keep it from them. The truth will help them, I'm sure they will now understand why he did what he did, and have compassion. It will also help with any issues they will have that needs to be clarified.
@@tomaradoss3420 I agreed with candace 100% and Kempire I disagree with you what you said about candace that's not the same you said she goes to white publist NOT THE SANME.
She gotta feed the kids somehow. She gets gigs randomly and living in California isn’t cheap. He was the bread winner.
Then she should've told them directly, not shared it with a bunch of strangers FIRST. Write a book only they can read! They'll now be reading a bunch a commentary on what's not our business
@@alisharo58 You don't know what she told them. Don't just assume she didn't discuss this with her kids.
As a mom, I would never. Her children will read all of this one day and can possibly be mad at their dad. She should have kept this in her therapist office.
He unalived himself. I think we can guess his life had a lot of hidden darkness we didn’t need to know about.
Exactly
I don't think he unalived himself. I think she set him up & took his life. I think she took him out for his life insurance. I don't think she ever loved him but seen a pay day in him. So many BM are gullible when it come to asian, yt and latina women. She's now with the yt man she always wanted & spending Twitch money on him.
Maybe hearing about it and hearing about his widows grief can help others. Grow up.
@@cuteiswhatIaimforhearing about her grief and his struggles are 2 different things. We didn't need to know about his drug issues or his personal issues him unaliving himself was enough to know he was struggling personally
@rmcelroy73 but his autopsy report cleared him of any drug use,
She made his family sign the NDA to attend his funeral. This wasn’t her story to tell. She could have have this conversation with a therapist
Are you serious?? 😮
Wow, she did!???? Wow SMH
Exactly, The love of the dollar bill. Very sad.
@@potatochip4202She sure did. She changed her last name in twenty four hours after her past. That woman is trying to fool people about who she really is.
She’s using his death to be famous. Something didn’t sit right with me about her when Twitch passed. I don’t believe Twitch would’ve wanted his personal business out here. That’s probably why he kept things to himself. In his journal.
IMO, if I was his family, I would be upset about airing out his secrets, even if he is no longer here. I just don’t agree with her telling people things he obviously didn’t want others to know.
ESPECIALLY since the parents have came out and said they were excluded from all the planning and memorial and have never seen his kids since and blamed her

His cousin said that wife is trash she made the family sign NDA’s before they could entire the funeral
Profiting from her late husband's pain is disgusting.
She never loved him
His pain? Isn’t this everyone in the families pain now?
Supporting your children is not disgusting
Right message/wrong messenger. Exposing your loved one’s journal entries without explicit consent his probably one of the worst violations I can think of.
You can't violate someone who is already dead.
How would she get his consent? 🤔
Agreed. Writing in a journal is a personal way for someone to express themselves in private. Not for a loved one to cash in on someone else pain.
How can you give consent now?
I love the fact that you put resources in the description 💜💜💜. You are a gem Kempire. So many people are struggling right now!
I thought the same thing 💜💜
BULL
Respectfully you forgot, 'how she could profit from it'.
There is a difference in not talking about it outside the house and sharing stuff with the general public. She can have these conversations outside the house to a therapist who can actually help, not to a book publisher. I am not buying the BS about her healing journey. She could have said he was dealing with a lot without going into detail about things that he never wanted the general public to know. This is not about healing this is about a publishing check.
🎯🎯🎯
100% this is not the same as not sharing at all. There’s a big difference between going public and going to therapy. Love me some Kempire but sometimes his line of work straddle a thin line going too far into people private lives. We aren’t entitled to know everything about everyone no matter how entertaining it may be
I mean I could of went my whole rest of the year without her disclosing this. However the Addiction and Depression was on one and two things, but her speaking on his allege Child abuse was not for her to share, that was his trauma.
A trauma that he kept to himself which probably lead to his addiction and subsequent death.
I agree, if it wasn’t revealed in his life, it should not have been revealed in his death. We’ve had countless conversations about drug addictions so i’m not sure what additional information she offered to the conversation other than airing her husband out.
Especially since his mother is alive and hurting too
Whose to say?
And this is why so many black people suffer in silence. Our community and our culture has taught us to hide our pain
Candace lost me at take it to ebony or essence. I don’t see the value of sharing such dark secrets about your husband at all on any platform
She lost me there too. I chuckled, people are weird 😂
Candace lost you with her response, but not the widow distrub behavior….
Uhmmmk
@@chocolatebeauty9131did you read what I actually said
We did not need to know about this. Can’t even show him respect and let him rest in peace
If my personal struggles were outed after my death when I didn't say it when I was alive or let you know I'd want you to share it then please keep it to yourself.
The fact that you had to read a diary to understand your own husband means he wasn't there yet and this conversation could be had with her children when they are older.
Except we don’t know what he’s thinking
Breaks my heart cause “ keeping it to yourself “ is probably why he couldn’t talk to anyone and felt the only way to stop how he felt was to leave. And because people kept it to themselves he didn’t know there could have been a better solution.
I see your point..also you have to feel safe in order to trust someone with your deepest darkest self. You know that Alicia Keys song "Diary" - gotta feel like your secrets will be safe with the one you love (or even with a professional)
I agree which is why Allison could still bring awareness and advocate for mental health transparency without revealing his personal trauma. If she went on a book tour that discussed the stigma of mental health amongst men of color and focused on initiatives regarding that, I would totally support that. Communities could still benefits from that without knowing the personal details of Twitch’s journals. That’s where I draw the line. I’m not even as offended by the details of him self medicating. But revealing the details of his journal seems like a great violation of trust.
Thank you. We have way too many people stating to keep this to yourself. The main thing I'm hoping is that she talked to the kids about this before even publishing. There are some things I would definitely keep out but not the mental health and the stress that he was going. I think this is the main problem in my community no one wants to talk about mental health. They want to keep it a hush hush or secret. Honestly, we are too scared to say anything because we don't want someone to call us crazy or judge us.😢
This reminds me of Robin Williams. Someone that brought so much joy to to everyone else, yet, they're in so much pain. Hopefully, this book will help those that are struggling.😢
Robin had a painful disease.
So did twitch @@mlmichael2791
In my opinion, she should never have discussed his personal journals and his childhood abuse. That’s private information that only his family should discuss. It’s not her story to tell! I feel for his children😢
Twitch family’s voice needs to be heard also. Because 1 of his cousins spoke about this woman
I’m sure she knew him better than his family did, she laid with him at night saw him at his worst. Males are performers and will perform to families.
What did the cousin say?
He didn’t un alive himself!!!!!
@@janiceguillory The cousin said that Allison had basically cut off contact with Twitch's family and the grandparents weren't allowed to maintain a relationship with Twitch's kids.
That cousin was never around
She could have told her story without mentioning his. He can't speak for himself.
Bc it dam sure her story.💯
I thought this was of poor taste when I watched the video. Like the world didn’t need to know this.
I get she lost her husband, but I don’t feel like this gives her the right to divulge the his struggles, especially the of sexual abuse if he didn’t divulge this information himself.
This is giving the energy of the 'woman who poisoned her husband and wrote a book.' This was very recent and she was arrested due to conflicting stories in her book.
This is her grieving. Trying to figure out why her husband did what he did. She's still lost and tryna figure out why? The public can't tell this woman how to grieve.
Exactly! The criticism is unfair.
I am glad Kemp you pointed that out. Call a spade a spade. We as black are always good at calling out someone. But we don't like it when we get called out. We are always contradicting ourselves. Thanks.❤
Always appreciate your insights Kempire❤️
Thank you Shannon.
My only concern is her kids will have to deal with the world knowing about their father. She didn’t have to share it with us
I wonder how his mom feels… they were close…continued prayers for the family
Probably the reason...mom's never said anything. Who would want this known about their deceased love one. What about the kids? Is this something they should know?
I wonder what his kids will think
It’s giving Kobe Bryant all over again, these brothers never learn lord!
I’m really not interested in Candice talking about the plight of a black man when she’s married to a white man. She could have sat this out. And stuff like this is why Candace rubs me the wrong way many times she’s quick to claim color biases but can state openly that she’s unhappy her babies won’t be dark skinned…🙄
Man Kempire you ain’t lied. Let’s call a thing a thing. She went where she felt comfortable and we should respect that. Just like everyone else chooses their desired media outlet. We keep praying for this family and supporting them ❤🙏
Kempire I appreciate this video, I am currently working on my PhD in Couple and Family Therapy and I often do not make comments on videos, but I felt this was important to state.
It is very easy to point the finger at Allison rather than pointing the finger at a community in which an immense amount of stigma is attached to mental health. Being a biracial woman (father is Black and mother is French, White) and a Couple and Family therapist, this is something that I have experienced and witnessed personally and professionally. Candace is correct in saying that Black men are stigmatized within the mental health setting and in society, and the way depression and other mental health issues present among Black men looks very different; however, it is important to recognize the intersection of Stephen’s experience and her experience as his wife and now widow. I hope in her healing journey she can gain a better understanding of how he had to show up as a black man struggling with these mental health issues, which can better inform how she navigates their children.
You made some really interesting points. Thanks for sharing.
Go off, Empire! Well said. Mental health and self-care is essential in both our homes and communities.
Didn’t she say when her husband met her he didn’t pay her any attention? She said they met several times before she got him alone and finally got his attention she has also had issues with her mother not allowing her to see her grand children. This is only one side of a story that can only be told by one person now somethings should be left alone. This conversation should have been discussed with his mother and maybe they could have decided to disclose this together.
Now @Kempire you preached a word at the end! If we not going to talk about it outside the house then we need to be talking inside the house! 💎
With Candace the majority of the things she says is about race. It is if she is trying to show her blackness bc she married a white man. It seems like she got some issues abt race she needs to deal with.
She is always projecting her insecurities on being dark skin that she went as far as marrying a broke White man with several baby mamas.. Black is beautiful and I can never be a victim.
🎯🎯🎯
She’s a devil she’s saying he was addicted to drugs how does she know that just because you found mushrooms in the closet does that make him a drug addict smfh these witches will destroy you even in death
Well he was on drugs. People don't just have drugs laying in there shoe boxes. And it's no secret that often depression and addiction can go hand in hand. Also he is in Hollywood so drugs and addiction is nothing new.
@ it’s not her story to tell she’s a witch
He was her husband. She would’ve known he was on something. It is her story to tell if she wants to. He was her husband and the father of her children. Who are you to say she shouldn’t?? Some random weirdo on the internet 🙄
She did not say he was addict. Allison said he used drugs to cope/escape bcuz he was depressed.
@@mosimosi630it most definitely is. He brought this tragedy upon his family, then they have all right to tell it. Why are we acting like suicide is okay? He was selfish and unappreciative of the life he had. Miss me with the mental health bs when you’re doing copious amount of party drugs.
Kempire narrative and opinions on this subject were 100% on point! WOW! WELL SAID!!!! Everything he said, is true and correct and should be shouted from the rooftops!!!!
OMG, as a society we need to allow people to express themselves, especially the ones in grief, in a way that is comfortable for them and in a way that will bring healing to them. There is no right way or wrong way of going about it, a person just needs to create their own path through all the darkness/grief to again find the light, and this is simply her way of doing it. On a humane level, we should make every effort to ensure that our words are kind towards her, fully knowing that she has to be both strong for herself and her children, who I am sure, in their innocence, was impacted & affected in a mind-blowing way by the lost of their father in such an unexpected way. Please, let's show care and love towards each other, and be compassionate, one to the other.
I've always looked at his wife side- eyed, in the way she explained his death and the treatment of his mother and family. The man has been died for two years or more. Keep this information to yourself and talk to God if she knows Him.
Hé decided to kill himself and bring this mess upon his family- she can do whatever tf she wants. Y’all act as if this man died for a good cause.
@aranielleb7718 And you sound void without empathy or love of a family.
I like Candiace A LOT-however-does she forget she has a white husband??? I often wonder that. Becaaaaause girl
Lol right
Kimpire you are on point! They don’t want to talk about it. That’s why people don’t get the healing that is so needed.
I’m going to say this as a black man, I’m not mad that she did what she did, as someone who works in a mental health facility and here’s all patients story’s a lot of people keep things to themselves bottled up. People this was his wife they shared kids and a life together. What’s wrong with what she’s done, I see nothing wrong with what she’s done. I also grew up in a household of what goes on, this house stays in this house and it was a house of horrors, and it almost took me out as an adult. As I’m reading a lot of comments alot of people are saying, she should have kept it to herself, and why thou. She is actively helping others through what she’s discovered from her husbands death, through those journals he’s wrote. I understand they share children together, and what this will do to them. It could help there journeys into adulthood. Like I said mental health is very real, yall. May he continue to rest in peace.
THIS! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing
You black men never have a problem with Becky. This woman does not care about him she only wants money for telling his story
@@blushbaby5278 how do you know. He married her and they were together for years and they have kids.
As a health worker, I'd say speak to a therapist or someone you can trust NOT the public, furthermore profiting from it is nasty work.
People who are telling the wife that she should not share the struggles that her husband was going through are the reasons that so many people suffer silently with trauma... and then delete themselves.
There is no shame in the truth. There is only healing.
People need to stop mythologizing celebrities. They are human and they have the same difficulties that everybody has.
Maybe if Twitch was not worried about how his fans would receive his troubles, he would have shared and not felt ashamed of his life. Exposing shame to light is the best way to eradicate it.
This story will help other people who are tired of caring trauma. They may seek counseling. They may tell someone. And the person who listens may may sit back and listen without passing judgment or offering opinion.
Maybe another wife or husband will see the signs before it is too late.
People’s obsession with keeping things private is exactly why people will keep unaliving themselves in this manner. This is a grieving widow processing and walking her healing journey. You’all are strung up on her revealing these things about her late husband while your own brother, son, husband or whoever could benefit from hearing this. I honestly will never understand the hate towards Allison.
That is her story to share as she pleases. Sadly, many Black men are now turning to unaliving themselves out of desperation, so if this helps one then bravo. I could care less about legacy. This needs to be discussed. I feel for that woman. I can't imagine the pain she is going through.
I’m a Candiace fan but i will always acknowledge that she can be a hypocrite. I think Candiace speaks on race so much because she overcompensates for marrying a White man. What was her purpose in emphasizing Black children when they are also half white? When Twitch passed there was very little empathy for his wife, people even blamed her for his death not knowing what the cause was. I believe Twitch left the information around so that she would understand after he’s gone. Her sharing is helpful to many introverts in extrovert jobs like myself.
Damn. I love Candiace but I agree with you about the overcompensating. I have no issue who people choose to marry but be normal about it. No need to overcompensate to prove things to people
Agree!
This was not her story to tell. This made me violently mad and Candiace going to people about a pregnancy is not the same. Everyone goes to people mag to announce a pregnancy. Also Candiace is telling HER story not her dead husband's. Last people are not mad someone is speaking out about mental health. The problem is he obviously didn't want people to know so it's not her job to out him. The family said she has been trying yo tarnish his legacy.
@@lynnem9079 THIS.
Would she have exposed this truth when he was living? No, because it wasn't her truth to tell. He was ashamed hence why he did not share this with the world and wore a mask. Many of us can relate and sympathize unfortunately. Im saddened that this truth has been revealed and his family and children have to remember his legacy in this way. She could have most certainly written her memoir and told the world how she has navigated this difficult time and still do it with kindness and graciousness.
Glad to see many in the comments understood why she chose to share this publicly. Just cuz most of us might not have done the same doesn’t mean she shouldn’t grieve and educate others in the way that feels right for her. Thank you Kempire for being reasonable about it.
She should have shared her experiences not telling everyone he was a drug addict
Agree. This is what she felt was right for her and her children.
@ yah it’s nasty work to tell the whole world he was a drug addict it’s not her story to tell
I totally agree. Keep up the great work! This is what she needed to do for the healing process. Not just for her but also for the children.
Twitch's wife did lose her husband and has to process that, but she also found time to write a book just the same. So is this "promotion"?....
Well, we're calling out a thing. Let's also not act like a pregnancy announcement is the same as the details of someone who unalive themselves...
She knew what were going on. I got a bad feeling about her. She isn’t that in love with him. She trying to make money. Watch what you do to other people. She will get that same energy.
It baffles me…what is the difference between her letting people know about twitch and his mental health battles vs a luther vandross documentary or whitney houston documentary like what’s this outrage about? He left her…HIS choice! I took it as her telling others to pay attention to the signs.
She knew something was going on because she went to the police and he had not been gone that long.
Smh at these comments. He CHOSE to take his own life, leave his wife and children alone and yall trippin on how she chooses to tell her story to heal. The kids would have known the truth anyway. We all wanted to know what happened anyways and she's telling us. She can't win. Let the woman be. She's been through enough.
I think Allison needs to expose the male figure that harmed her hubby, cause kids dont ever forget or heal from that. I have a cousin that was molested by our uncle and now his a grown father of one but he started relapsing during the covid lockdown and now his a full blown Addict and his wife left him and he lost custody of his child cause his parents dont want to believe him and also not take the uncle to book. He wants our uncle to b exposed for the community to see cause his a respected man in the community. I feel for people that went through this as kids esp boys cause we tend to not give them the same sympathy as girls. Praying for healing for all
I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. I wish him healing.
I agree these predators need to be exposed by name, publicly. But she didn't do that, so I don't see how revealing this information helped tWitch.
9:50 - 13:00 well said Kempire, great perspective💜✨️. Love Candice but she should of sat this one out.😕
She can’t miss the opportunity of pointing out Race or color. I used to love her but she is too childish and hypocritical . With her broke WHITE husband.
Candace conveniently forgets who she’s married to. Always projecting
Seems very exploitative. Girl what are you gaining from exposing this now? Let the man rest. His kids are gonna grow up and see this one day. Are the 15 mins of press going to be worth the trauma the kids might face with this type of narrative out in the public?
I can see both sides and respect that her intention is to help folks that are struggling by sharing her story. However, personally I don’t think she needed to divulge what he was dealing with. Especially since it seems like he tried to hide it from his loved ones. I think there’s a way to talk about the importance of mental health and noticing signs without publicly sharing intimate details. Sharing his last words to his child is something the public didn’t need to know.
This is a part of her life and she has the right to tell it how and when she wants. No one has the right to say how she should do it. I can’t even imagine going through that with three kids.
Well said, Kempire. We are as sick as our secrets.
We have been socialized to keep abuse (ie sexual abuse) drug addiction, and mental health struggles quiet and hidden from legal authorities, schools and health officials, and other family members because of repercussions that may break up, separate families, and cause incarceration. Many people have learned to carry trauma and “find an outlet” via journaling, church, fine arts, etc.
Kempire, thank you for providing commentary on this topic and someone’s own personal and intimate experience with compassion, understanding, and grace.
I hope we all do moving forward .
I agree that she shouldn’t have shared it with the world but Candace harping on her race does not surprise me. It is unrelated but she is ALWAYS talking about someone’s race or color in a derogatory way. She even showed her prejudice towards her future children in that interview talking about what color she wants them to be. I know most ppl miss her but I really don’t. Her obsession with race and skin is too much.
And they say only bm ww couples produce self hating kids yet Candace a bw with wm seems colour obsessed, mixed children are mixed
I am glad his wife shared good for her. She deserves to tell her story as well
I think she did the right thing. I myself lost a close friend the same way. I was always thinking about what was going through her head. She was also a popular person and always smiling. I do still talk about her and her achievement. In the black community we still don't talk about mental issues. This year I lost my husband 4 years ago and we were married to each other for 30 years. I went to a grief counselor and it did help me through the hard times. I wish my friend could get some help during her depression and I wish I knew more about what she was going through.
I DONT BELIEVE HER STORY….. BELIEVE HE WAS BEING BLACKMAILED & WAS DELETED 😢
I also don't BELIEVE this narrative. Something more nefarious was going on
I agree with you.
Look towards Ellen and Diddy‼️
1) That was a REALLY weird take from Candiace
2) I don't see anything wrong with what his wife said or how she chose to share it. She said just enough to give insight into the fact that she learned about his struggles after he was gone, without putting the details of his business in the street. To me, it sounded very respectful of his life and memory.
But she NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT HERSELF AND HAVING A KID ALREADY. THAT'S HER STORY AND THE DRUGS SHE USED OH BUT HE WAS A JUNKIE AND GUESS WHAT HE WASN'T ALONE.
She was his wife!! He unalived himself and left her to pick up the pieces! I can’t imagine how devastating it has been for her and the kids! We always scream mental health matters but no one checks on those left behind. We need more documentaries on the people left behind after someone unalive themselves. As a wife and a mother, I can’t even begin to phantom!! Also the trauma that he left with the oldest daughter with. I’m here for Allison doing what’s best for her and the kids❤️
You know she recently came out about her new man. I saw where the cousin posted she hasn’t allowed his family to see the children and required them to sign a NDA to attend the funeral.
@@Its_Mecheleyou want het stay miserable and single like you? I won’t waste my time grieving someone who committed suicide. He was fuckinng selfish and y’all out here making excuse for his pathetic behaviour.
@@Its_Mechele is she not allowed to date? She didn’t divorce, she became a widow:( and yes sign the NDA!! He was known and people act up at funerals! She protected him with the NDA. The family knew her for how many years? Now all of the sudden they don’t like her?
This is cold. He did everything he could to shield the world from this until it became too much. To release these deeply personal aspects of his struggle is heartless and self-serving. May he rest and peace.
Kempire is stating nothing but FACTS!!!
We love the openness of a family because it takes a lot of heart, courage, and care to support fans and the people who genuinely love them. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Wife and Kids-we truly appreciate it.
I’m going to talk to my children and help them work through their mental trauma, inspired by her sharing her family’s journey. If we’re keeping it real, the crazy part is that people hide so much in the closet, and that’s why they never heal or grow. This pattern continues from generation to generation. She’s trying to break that curse.
God bless her, and God bless her children.
Honestly it bothers me when families don’t want to share what happened to a member who passed like it matters if anyone knows or not. We can all learn from others’ lives and deaths ❤
You don't get to tell anyone how to cope with your unaliving after you've left them and your kids to pick up the pieces. What's wrong with people!?;?! How do you blame the living victims? Ugh
Loved your opinion on this, Kempire!
I don’t understand why some people take their private life to the internet 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️???
It might’ve been more appropriate to share this with her therapist and not strangers on the internet. Surely she can’t need the money from the book OR the attention 😬😵💫😩
It makes me wonder if she found something in those journals that pissed her off….putting this out there…revealing his private thoughts to the world?! Who would do this to their spouse that passed away?! There was no reason for this unless he himself left permission to do so upon his death.
This is what brothers’s need to learn about the women they choose. A sister wouldn’t have ever put his business in the streets like this.
Evveeerrrrrr
I agree.
🎯
His wife his choice...
Are you sure? Because "us" sisters are constantly on social media airing our "brothers" business in the street for public consumption, the world sits back and laughs about. They make no money from it to support themselves or their children, so make that make since.
This is a story that has many layers. .Kempire, hearing you report on a topic of this nature and then present an array of very valid and different viewpoints in such a measured and emphatic way so effortlessly makes me believe you're called to advocacy work....esp emotional/mental wellness.
Well said Kempire. Let’s give this family some grace and not be quick to judge. Unfortunately if a person wants to complete they will usually find a way . I pray that his wife, family and her children can find peace. The guilt associated with this topic is unbearable for many and their struggle with the guilt of the questions what if, maybe , could I have stopped it or why didn’t I recognize the signs is unreal.
I love you Kempire but I respectfully disagree. You missed the point (and maybe you haven't seen) that she has made his entire family (including his mother) sign NDAs at his funeral to "protect his legacy" and has kept the children from seeing his family all while exposing his personal secrets to sell her book. This is far beyond a grieving widow. This is exploitation. She dropped his last name 48 hours after the news of his passing on social media and as stated she doesn't want to be known as just Twitchs wife. She's using this opportunity to tarnish his legacy, while trying to create her own. It's disgusting.
Clearly she was not a "safe place" for him or else she would have known a little something. Her healing is necessary. Do it privately. Say something more palatable publicly if you must. If autopsy didn't show drugs in his system then better care should have been taken when airing such details. He clearly was going through things and I think that the public accepted it as such. That alone was a teachable moment. All that extra was unnecessary. That's my opinion.
When I read the article I was like why did she do that! However after listening to you, I realized that this is her truth and I need to stop my judgement and opinions. This is a part of healing journey. Thank you for this! You open up another important point of view.
I'm still like why did she do that🤷🏽♀️
@@sandramcfarland2688 right
I will not tell anyone how to grieve the loss of a loved one.
Secrets can cause unforseen damage. What she shared was honest and didnt seem harmful.
Maybe I'm missing something.....I will continue to watch and read for clarity.
As long as she tells her secrets too or that's being a hypocrite
Just because we don't tell the block about what goes on in the house don't assume everyone is keeping secrets. She could have written her book and spoken about his mental struggles and how that affected her and their children without bringing his deep secrets (diary) and drug addiction. Stop making excuses for someone making herself the center of her husband's pain.
The lost art of testimonies, protecting the dead, when the dead know NOTHING… is a non factor. Leave that lady alone and let her share her testimony. Let the living learn.
THIS!!!
I DO NOT BLAME HER one bit for telling her story.
Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, WHATEVER. SHE LOST HER HUSBAND AND HAD NO IDEA.
She didn't have to KEEP A SECRET BCUZ HE DID .......... THIS is why Black Women are stressed, walking around with High blood pressure and Gray hair at age 30 BCUZ you walking around with bags and bags of groceries like Erykah Badu said...... My opinion is My business, I'm drinking water AAANNDDD opening my mouth ......
I hope this had brought some relief to her........"Outside the house" SHUT UP......😑🙄
I wish somebody would tell me how to grieve my dead husband and/or how to share what I want after being hurt by their SUDDEN, self-inflicted passing. They may have to meet me outside!
I fell like this is what we want from celebrity memoirs, the vulnerability and transparency. We all know this was a defining moment in her life, so of course she would talk about it. This was a very dark time in her life and the lives of her children, and in my opinion, this may very well be a part of their healing. I also think it may help others who have loved ones who may be exhibiting similar signs, or may have passed in similar ways, and are struggling to help them. Either way, I don’t think there’s shame in mental illness, many amazing people struggle with it daily. I actually think her sharing might start some necessary conversations - especially in the black community.
While it’s not how I would have done it, everyone goes through loss differently. It doesn’t look the same for everyone.
