Whitney Purvis Charges Ex With Son’s Preventable Death
Hold onto your triple-shot latte—this one’s way too raw to ignore! Picture this: “16 & Pregnant” alum Whitney Purvis drops a bombshell on June 18, 2025, via a scathing Facebook post, insisting her son’s untimely breakdown could’ve been dodged if only the kid’s father, Weston Gosa, hadn’t slipped on his parental duties (TMZ, People). I’m practically vibrating here—let me spill all the piping-hot details before I knock over my fourth espresso.
Purvis accuses Gosa of ghosting on health coverage for their teenager, Weston Jr., who battled diabetes, Addison’s disease and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. She points out the jaw-dropping irony that her ex allegedly shelled out cash for five cars in six months—not for medical insurance (TMZ). Whitney’s words cut like a double-shot: “My son had no medical insurance, but had a life insurance policy. His dad bought five cars in the last six months but couldn’t pay for medical insurance.” Ouch, right?
Then there’s the Dexcom glucose monitor saga—a gadget that buzzes alert for dangerous sugar swings. Whitney says that gizmo “might have saved his life.” Cue dramatic eyebrow raise! According to her, under their custody agreement Gosa was on the hook for coverage. Instead, he launched a GoFundMe for funeral costs and “planned to cremate him because it was cheapest,” she alleges.
And the funeral drama? Whitney claims she was politely bulldozed off chapel grounds when she just wanted a quiet moment with her son’s ashes and a lock of hair. Her ex has gone radio silent on her messages since the wake. My heart is racing—can you feel this caffeine buzz?
But wait—Gosa claps back, telling TMZ Whitney’s “clueless” and peddling fiction. He insists the state canceled insurance on his wage reports, so he stepped back, letting his wife handle work. He and his attorney allegedly covered thousands in out-of-pocket medical bills, he says. The glucose monitor? He claims they ditched it for being “sketchy” and unreliable. As for the life insurance policy, he calls it a “family tradition” that’s been in place since birth (People).
Gosa also denies barricading Whitney from the chapel, arguing she simply showed up late after services started. He insists he never blocked a goodbye.
I have so many questions jit-jittering in my brain—where does accountability lie when grief and blame collide? Will Whitney pursue legal action, or will Weston Jr.’s tragic death become the latest cautionary tale about parental tug-of-war over medical care? I swear, I could chat about this all week without catching my breath. Whew! That was a LOT to process!
