Now, we are getting another perspective on what tWitch was going through away from the limelight of his longtime TV gig. Of course, the talk show ended in late May of this year following a long-developing controversy regarding Ellen’s allegedly toxic workplace behavior and mistreatment of staffers. But while much of the media focus around the end of Ellen centered on its eponymous star, tWitch was reportedly going through his own adversity.

DJ Boof spoke to The U.S. Sun on Wednesday evening and revealed his thoughts on the situation. More than anybody else, Boof understood tWitch’s unique career path. After all, Boof was the in-house DJ for the Wendy Williams Show for years. So he understood all too well what tWitch was dealing with after being out of a job.

Boof said as much to the outlet, revealing how hard the ending can hit:

While Boof wasn’t certain about whether tWitch was “depressed, or just trying to figure out what was next,” he explained that an abrupt ending to the highs of celebrity can be brutal:

So sad.
