16 and Pregnant’s Whitney Purvis Says Son’s “Death Could’ve Been Prevented” Amid Feud With Ex
16 and Pregnant’s Whitney Purvis Says Ex Prevented Her From Attending Son Weston’s Funeral
Whitney Purvis is reflecting on the death of her son Weston Gosa Jr.
Over two weeks after she announced the tragic passing of the 16-year-old, the 16 and Pregnant alum shared that she believed the death of her son—whom she said had several health issues—”could’ve been prevented” if her ex Weston Gosa had gotten him health insurance.
“My son had diabetes, Addison’s disease, and alpha one anti-trypsin deficiency, and he had no medical insurance,” Purvis wrote in a June 18 Facebook post, “but he had a life insurance policy taken out on him. His dad bought five cars in the last six months but couldn’t pay for medical insurance.”
She added, “He brags about how much money he has and has the nerve to make a GoFundMe to help bury him when he was just going to cremate him anyway because it was the cheapest, plus he had the life insurance policy.”
The MTV star also said that Weston—whose cause of death has not been determined—should have had medical coverage due to her custody agreement with Gosa, with whom she also shares 11-year-old son River.
