Why '16 & Pregnant' star Whitney Purvis lost custody before her son's death
Whitney Purvis, who was on MTV's 16 and Pregnant, shared sad news about her son demise on June 2. Her son, Weston Gosa Jr., has died at the age of 16. She paid tribute to her late son on Facebook and shared several photos of Weston, some with her in them.
She wrote, "This is so hard to write. My beautiful son, Weston has passed away. He was only 16 years old. Life is so cruel and unfair. I just dont understand."
Grieving the loss of her son, she added, 'Oh my baby is gone and I don't know what to do with myself. He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true. How do you go on in life after losing a child? I'm in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don't want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can't describe the pain I am feeling.'

She added, 'I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much. You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can't go on without you.'
She later concluded her post by saying, "Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon. April 2, 2009 - June 2, 2025."
She later posted a second message with a photo of the two hugging and smiling.
"Rest in Peace, my baby Weston. I love you forever, precious. I'll never understand why life has to be so cruel. You'll always be my baby,' she wrote.
Whitney didn't say how Weston died. But Weston's stepmom said on Facebook that the family is waiting for an autopsy to find out the cause.
Weston was born on April 2, 2009. His parents, Whitney and Weston Sr., were on the first season of 16 and Pregnant. They later had a second son, River, in 2014. After River was born, they broke up again.
Whitney was arrested for failing to pay over $18,000 in child support for her two sons, Weston Jr. and River. A judge found her in contempt of court, leading to a 48-hour jail sentence and additional monthly payments, according to TMZ report. These legal problems led to the lost of custody.

‘Crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas announces new career move after viral meltdown
Tiffany Gomas, who went viral for having a meltdown on a plane in 2023, has announced a new career move. The 40-year-old, who earned the nickname 'crazy plane lady,' took to X on Tuesday to announce that she is going to be a content creator for Passes, according to TMZ. 'I told y'all that mf wasn't real… but this is… Relaunching now on Passes Come chat with me here and I'll answer all your questions!!' Gomas tweeted, referencing her caught-on-camera rant. Prior to the announcement, Gomas had been rumoured to have joined OnlyFans, which features adult content. While her fans would still have to subscribe to get access to her exclusive content, Passes forbids explicit media, per the outlet. Gomas' account features behind-the-scenes looks at 'my chaos: work, workouts, pups, sports, shoes, & fits.' 'Thanks for flying with me,' she added in her Passes bio, giving a nod to her infamous tirade. In 2023, Gomas made headlines for causing hours of delay on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Orlando. Her concerning behaviour was filmed by a fellow passenger and shared online. In the since-viral clip, Gomas can be heard yelling, 'I'm telling you, I'm getting the f–k off and there's a reason why I'm getting the f–k off and everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it.' 'I don't give two f–ks, but I am telling you right now – that motherf–ker back there is NOT real.' Months after the incident, Gomas dispelled rumours that she saw something supernatural on the plane. During an appearance on Barstool Sports' Pardon My Take podcast, she explained, 'So, it was just like, you had an argument with some guy on the plane and then as you're leaving, you're like, 'That motherf----- is not real.'
