In January 2024, Allison spoke about her path to healing for the first time in a conversation Nick ViallS The Viall Files Podcast. “It was very hard for me to learn to like myself again and love myself again,” she shared. And then could I like someone else too? Could I love someone else again while I still like and love someone else?”

Later, in May 2024, Allison appeared on the show Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay Lautner‘s podcast, The pressurewhere she reflected on the man behind the iconic Twitch personality. She described Stephen not only as the joyful and energetic personality the world adored, but also as someone who was deeply introspective and reserved. “He carried this persona from Twitch and it became a part of him, but that extroverted personality wasn’t natural to him,” she explained. “So if he were to go on Twitch and make sure he was spreading all this love and joy and positivity and dancing all the time for people and an entertainer and stuff like that, that would drain his energy.”

Allison also sheds light on a deeper aspect of Stephen’s character. “Sometimes I wonder if when he received so much love, he almost thought that he didn’t deserve that love, so he would give it right back. That’s why he was such a giver,” she reflected.
