The death of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss shocked the world after it was revealed the beloved DJ and dancer took his own life after seeming so happy.
Some fans are having a hard time accepting the fact that tWitch died by suicide and are sharing conspiracy theories online involving Ellen DeGeneres.
Conspiracy Theories Surrounding Death Of Stephen 'tWitch' Boss
The conspiracy theories are stemming from the allegations that Ellen DeGeneres had a toxic working environment on the set of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which Stephen 'tWitch' Boss also worked on.
A TikToker who goes by TruthSeeker shared her theory revolving around tWitch's death, writing “Anne Heche, Twitch, and Leslie Jordan all had ties to Ellen, and all died suddenly and suspiciously (in my opinion).”
Within the video, the TikToker says, “Call me a conspiracy theorist, but you got three people close to Ellen dead.”
Many other TikTok users agreed with the theory as one commented on the video, “Agree! Twitch was the most spirited fun-loving soul, there’s no way he took his own life. He was Ellen’ed.”
Rosie O'Donnell Shuts Down Theories
Rosie O'Donnell saw the conspiracy theories online and decided to put an end to it.
Posting her own TikTok video, the comedian replied to a comment that read, “I had a weird feeling when I heard the news… like did he know something?” to which O'Donnell said, “Bullsh-t.”
“There’s no Hollywood cabal that’s out killing people. And why the hell would they? What could he possibly have seen or known at the Ellen Show?," she continued to express in the video.
O’Donnell goes on to state that the public knows DeGeneres was reportedly not nice to her staff, but that has nothing to do with tWitch's death.
“There was no reason for Hollywood to kill this beautiful man," she said. "He was obviously suffering with mental health issues and it’s a big, big, big problem in the United States.”
O’Donnell ends the video by asking viewers to let him rest in peace and to stop theorizing and allow his family to grieve in peace.

In 2014, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss joined “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” as a guest DJ, but the show quickly gave him a permanent role after he captivated the audience and the other stars. He was promoted to co-executive producer status in 2020.
