Whitney Purvis, known for her appearance on MTV's 16 and Pregnant, was denied entry to her teenage son's funeral after arriving too late for the service. Her 16-year-old son, Weston Gosa Jr., died unexpectedly earlier this month. The funeral took place on Tuesday, 18 June, in Gordon County, Georgia.

According to Purvis, she arrived at the chapel around 4pm—two hours after the service had started. By then, the ceremony had concluded and the chapel doors were closed. She also claimed her name was not on the guest list. Weston's father, however, presents a completely different account of what happened.
