In the book, Allison detailed the last time she and her kids saw Stephen.
She and Zaia had returned from taking Maddox to school, she wrote, and Stephen was talking to their assistants and nannies before driving Weslie to class.
“As they headed out the door, I said, ‘See you. Love you,'” Allison remembered. “I didn’t even say goodbye.”
After a Starbucks run, she continued, Stephen took Weslie to school and told the teen, “I wish I could have been your Superman.”
“It was an odd statement, but Weslie didn’t dwell on it; she dismissed it as a weird dad moment,” Allison said. “They exchanged I love yous before he pulled out of the school lot. It was the last time she would see him. I can’t get it out of my head that Stephen was already saying goodbye in his own way hours before he disappeared.”
Later, Stephen didn’t meet her at the gym or office as planned but still replied to messages from their team about a video shoot set for the next day. That afternoon, Allison saw his car in the driveway but soon realized he wasn’t home.
In the book, she recounted trying to contact Stephen but receiving no answer—leading her to reach out to his assistant, brother, friend and hospitals and file a missing persons report. While Allison says she thought Stephen had possibly checked into a recovery center, police then informed her he died by suicide Dec. 13, 2022.
“I raced down the hall shrieking,” she wrote. “The sound that escaped from my throat was feral.”
