Whitney Purvis, 16 and Pregnant Star, ‘denied entry' to son Weston's funeral; Here's what went wrong
Whitney Purvis, star of '16 and Pregnant,' was turned away from her son Weston's burial after arriving late. She even discovered that her name was not on the guest list, according to a report.
On June 2, the eldest kid of the former reality star passed away in Gordon County, Georgia, at the age of 16. However, his cause of death is still uncertain.
Purvis had shown up for Weston's funeral at 4 p.m., two weeks after it was confirmed that he had passed away, after being informed that it was the start time.
Meanwhile, TMZ reported that the ceremony took place two hours earlier.
Purvis's close friends blamed her ex-husband Weston Lewis Gosa for the confusion, despite the fact that he vehemently disagrees with her account.
They said that entry to the service was also denied to Purvis' side of the family.
Gosa maintained that he informed Purvis that the viewing began at 2:00 p.m. and that the service would commence promptly at 4:00 p.m.
He told the publication that he informed his ex-girlfriend about the rigorous guest list via phone a week beforehand. He also claimed that her mother, aunt, and uncle were present when they arrived at 3 p.m.
Gosa further claimed that Purvis sent him a furious text message just after 5 p.m. According to him, she labeled him 'evil' in one text for preventing her from attending their son's memorial ceremony.
He went on to state that he responded with a picture of her name appearing on the guest list after Purvis said she had not been included.
Weston's funeral was private 'due to the circumstances and nature of this tragic loss.'
Gosa and Amy, his new wife, have bought Whitney a separate urn to hold a portion of her son's ashes, the report said.
In April 2009, Purvis welcomed Weston with Gosa at the premiere of MTV's '16 and Pregnant' season.
In 2014, she welcomed River into the world, but the pair soon parted their ways.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z gripped by fear as Diddy's sex trafficking trial nears explosive end: ‘They were living in the same world'
As Sean "Diddy" Combs faces explosive allegations in a federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial that began on May 5, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, his former close aides, are privately navigating a storm of their own. While the couple have not been accused of any wrongdoing, their long-time ties to the hip-hop mogul have left them worried about being pulled into the public fallout. Beyoncé and Jay-Z fear being mentioned in Diddy's trial According to a Daily Mail report, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been on edge since the trial gained national media attention. Though their names have only surfaced peripherally, the couple are reportedly anxious that their past connections with Diddy could draw them into further controversy. Instagram: Instagram|Jayzz_official 'They were living in the same world as Diddy for a long time,' a source told the publication. 'They didn't do anything wrong, but they really don't want their names associated with the trial.' False party allegations left them furious This is not the first time Bey and Jay have been dragged into the Diddy drama. Back in April, a civil suit claimed the couple had been present at a party where Diddy allegedly assaulted a man. That detail was later debunked by their legal team, who provided proof that Beyoncé and Jay-Z were vacationing in Hawaii at the time. Still, the original claim received wide media coverage, while the correction barely made a dent. 'They were really upset about that,' an insider shared. 'It was an obvious lie, but the damage was already done.' Jay-Z was slammed with a horrific allegation and fought back In another shocking claim, Jay-Z was named in a civil lawsuit last December, filed by attorney Tony Buzbee, who accused him and Diddy of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at an MTV after-party in 2000. The shocking claim triggered intense media scrutiny, though no criminal charges were filed. Credit: X Jay-Z issued a rare and fiery public statement in response, calling the accusation 'a blackmail attempt' and demanding a criminal complaint if the allegation had any merit. 'These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one,' he wrote. Jay-Z also opened up about the personal toll it took on his family, especially on his children. Eventually, the lawsuit was withdrawn. He then filed a defamation and extortion countersuit against the accuser and her legal team. Couple's old ties to Diddy are now under scrutiny Though Beyoncé and Jay-Z have largely kept a low profile during the trial, their historic connection to Diddy hasn't gone unnoticed. From producing music together to sharing tables at Diddy's infamous White Parties, the trio were often seen moving in the same elite circles. In hindsight, those public associations are now being examined more critically, even if the ties were purely professional or social. Credit: X Sources say the couple is now staying vigilant. Each morning begins with scanning the headlines, hoping their names haven't been dragged into the trial again. 'They're used to pressure,' the source said. 'But they're still stressed by this. It just sucks.' Even without charges, the weight of association has proven heavy as Diddy's trial races toward its expected end in early July. Diddy's trial expected to wrap up before July 4 Judge Arun Subramanian recently gave the first concrete update on the trial's timeline, revealing that proceedings are likely to conclude before July 4. Though he didn't share specifics about how that date was determined, the estimate offers a glimpse of when this legal chapter may finally close. Testimonies are expected to resume on Friday, June 20, after a brief pause due to a juror falling ill with vertigo symptoms.
