Whitney Purvis, known for her appearance on “16 and Pregnant,” faced a heartbreaking situation when she was not allowed to attend her son Weston’s funeral due to arriving late and not being on the guest list, as per reports.

The former reality star’s eldest child died at age 16 on June 2 in Gordon County, Georgia. An official cause of death remains unknown.

Two weeks after confirming his death, Purvis had arrived at Weston’s funeral at 4 p.m., having been told that was the scheduled start time.

Reports from TMZ indicate that Whitney arrived at the ceremony two hours late, only to discover that it had already concluded and that her name was not included on the guest list, resulting in her being denied entry.

Sources close to Purvis blame her ex-husband Weston Lewis Gosa for the mix-up, though he strongly disputes her version of events.

On the other hand, her ex-partner, Weston’s father, maintains that he had informed Whitney of the correct start time. He mentioned that she arrived much later at 4:15 p.m. when the chapel doors had already been closed, emphasizing that she had been provided with the accurate information about the schedule.

Insiders claim that once Purvis, who appeared on the MTV show in 2009, arrived to lay her son to rest, she was told that the service was over.

They alleged that Purvis’ side of the family was also denied access to the service.

Gosa, for his part, insists that he told Purvis that the viewing started at 2 p.m., with the service commencing at 4 p.m. sharp.

He told the outlet that he called his ex a week in advance to let her know about the strict guest list, and further asserted that her mother, aunt and uncle were all in attendance as they arrived at 3 p.m.

Just after 5 p.m., Gosa claimed he received angry text messaged from Purvis. In one text, he claims she had called him “evil” for barring her from their son’s memorial service.

He further alleged that after Purvis claimed she had not been put on the guest list, he responded with a photo of her name being on there.

The services for Weston were held in private “due to the nature and circumstances of this tragic loss.”

Gosa and his current wife, Amy, have purchased a separate urn for Whitney to house some of her son’s ashes.

Earlier this month, Purvis confirmed her son’s death in a heartbreaking post on social media.

“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 don’t understand,” she wrote on Facebook.

“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.”

Purvis had welcomed Weston with Gosa during the first season of MTV’s “16 and Pregnant” in April 2009.

She went on to welcome River in 2014, however the couple had split shortly after.

The reality star went on to lose custody of both her children to their father after she was arrested in 2024 for failing to make child support payments, TMZ reported.

Weston Sr., for his part, had several run-ins with the law — including arrests for driving on a suspended license and smashing electronics.
