Whitney Purvis, known from MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, has accused her ex-partner Weston Gosa Sr. and his wife Amy of keeping her away from the funeral of her 16-year-old son, Weston Jr., who died on June 2. In a Facebook post, Purvis claimed she was told the wrong funeral time and was not allowed in when she arrived. She said her name wasn’t on the guest list and accused the couple of leaving her out on purpose.
Gosa Sr. responded, saying he told her about the funeral schedule a week in advance and that she was on the guest list. He said Purvis only messaged him at 5:10 p.m., after the funeral was over.
Purvis also said the couple had kept her from her son during his life and blamed them for poor medical care. Weston had several health problems, including diabetes, Addison’s disease, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. She believes he didn’t have the medical equipment he needed and that his death might have been preventable.
The two parents have had a long and difficult legal history, including custody battles, restraining orders, and previous arrests. Weston Sr. had full custody of the children since 2018.
Despite their disagreements, both parents have publicly shared grief over the loss of their son.
