She and tWitch amassed millions of fans across the globe with their heartwarming spirits and inspiring dances. In 2022, tWitch sent shockwaves through the world and through his family when he took his own life, leaving behind his wife Allison and their three kids and leaving millions of people asking, how could this have happened? Today, Allison is sharing parts of her story she's never shared before with the intention, she says, of inspiring and helping others.

Coming up in this episode.
I realized for myself that God gave me this purpose and it's really an opportunity to help people.
You're holding nothing back. You go there on all the hard things in this book.
There was a year when I really wasn't willing to talk to people about it. And then I realized that I need to shift my perspective on this and I need to help as many people as I can. If I'm not willing to talk about this situation, I realize how many other women, how many other men are too scared to have these really, really hard talks. But if I can be brave enough to speak out, maybe I can help someone else be brave enough to speak out for themselves. I was taken advantage of. I blamed myself for years. I must have done something wrong, and I felt so much shame in who I was. And if I would have just spoke out for myself, maybe I could have built myself back up and helped other young girls too, to not let that happen.
When I had my daughter, I realized that I need to build her up to like, if anything ever happened to her, come to someone, come to me, come to someone you feel safe with and say, this was wrong.
I have.
Yeah. And that was a really powerful moment for us. I do not believe for myself that I handled it the right way. And I don't believe that I should have ever felt so much shame for myself. But it was a real feeling that a lot of women feel. And so I wanted to share it with her. And I also think it humanized me to my daughter a lot, that something could happen to me. And at that moment, I don't feel like I stood up for myself.
It was at So You Think You Can Dance that you met Steven Twitch Boss.
Yeah. He was this gentle giant. And anytime he spoke, you just felt like you were learning so much. It was just like an honor to hear him talk. and it was just such a turn on. So the time you remember meeting him, it was love at first sight.
It was immediate. So y'all get together. And then can you share the story of you two doing the deed on the scaffolding of the Glee show?
The Glee show he's cast in. Oh my goodness. Okay. It's a very famous arena. And we found some stairs. We ended up on some scaffolding above everyone watching the Glee part of the show. We were literally looking at the performers from Glee and we just started making out and we were looking down, there's all these audience members screaming and cheering, but they couldn't see us. And there was, I don't know, it was kind of romantic and we started doing the deed and then all of a sudden security was like flashing their lights like, who's up here? And we just froze.
Yeah, that was probably the most wild thing I've ever done. I'm just imagining the entire audience watching Glee, having no idea there's also another show happening. Yes. Right there.
Right above them. Oh, my gosh. It was so dangerous.
We were wild kids. This episode of the Jamie Kern Lima Show contains material of a highly sensitive nature that may be triggering for some, including possible references to suicide, drug use, depression, and child and sexual abuse. Viewer and listener discretion advised.
