16 and Pregnant” Star Whitney Purvis Denied Entry to Son’s Funeral After Arriving Late and Being Left Off Guest List
In a deeply emotional and heartbreaking turn of events, Whitney Purvis, who gained national attention from her appearance on MTV’s “16 and Pregnant,” was reportedly denied entry to her son’s funeral. The tragic incident unfolded after Whitney arrived late to the service and discovered she had not been included on the official guest list.
Whitney’s son, Weston, tragically passed away recently under undisclosed circumstances. As friends, family, and loved ones gathered to honor his memory, Whitney attempted to attend the ceremony but was turned away at the door. According to various accounts, her name was not listed among the approved attendees, and the venue’s staff, following protocol, refused to allow her inside.
Sources close to the family indicate that the service was organized by Weston’s paternal relatives, who allegedly had strained ties with Whitney. The late arrival, combined with ongoing tensions, may have contributed to the oversight or deliberate exclusion.
Whitney, visibly emotional, later took to social media to express her pain, posting messages of grief and confusion over being barred from saying goodbye to her son. “I never thought I would be told I can’t attend my own child’s funeral,” she wrote in a post that has since drawn widespread sympathy from fans and followers.
The incident has sparked discussions online about familial conflict, grief management, and the legal rights of parents during funeral arrangements. Many have rallied in support of Whitney, calling the situation “cruel” and “unimaginable.”
As of now, neither the organizers of the funeral nor representatives from Weston’s father’s side have publicly commented on the situation. Whitney has not indicated whether she will take legal action or seek a separate memorial to honor her son’s memory.
