Whitney Purvis is breaking her silence after being denied entry to her son’s funeral over the weekend -- claiming she was intentionally kept out and is now setting the record straight.

The former "16 and Pregnant" star opened up about the devastating experience in a Facebook post Wednesday, saying she’s stayed quiet for years as her ex, Weston Gosa, and his wife, Amy, allegedly spread false narratives about her -- but she won’t stay silent any longer.

Whitney claims she was told her 16-year-old son Weston Jr.'s funeral would begin at 4 PM on Saturday, but when she arrived with her family and friends, they were blocked from entering the Georgia chapel because their names weren’t on the guest list. She claims she has witnesses who heard funeral home personnel say she wasn't on the list. She says it didn’t matter what time she showed up -- she wasn’t getting in.

Bianca Censori always draws attention when she's out in public ... even when she's trying to keep a low profile like she was in L.A. on Tuesday as our cameras photographed.

And that's not all ... we also caught a sneak peek at Kanye West with Bianca after the rapper fell under the radar following his circus-like appearance at the Diddy trial.

But first ... back to Bianca and the salon... the wife of Mr. West was captured by paparazzi leaving a beauty parlor in Bev Hills known for its luxurious treatments after she apparently spent a couple hours getting a fancy skincare treatment.

Terry Luttrell from the iconic rock band REO Speedwagon got into a bad car wreck after a concert on Sunday -- crashing his vehicle after falling asleep at the wheel following a long night.

The 78-year-old tells TMZ ... it all went down after a late-night concert -- he was driving from Illinois to St. Louis after staying up until 4:30 AM Sunday. He felt sleepy and headed towards an exit on the highway .... but nodded off behind the wheel while on the exit ramp. His car veered off the ramp, rolled over once and landed upright in the swale area.

The singer says, "I can only thank my Father in heaven for seeing me through. It could've been worse — I might not have made it — but obviously he feels like it's not time for me to leave yet."

Terry confirms to us he woke up "cocooned" -- wrapped in airbags after the crash ... they deployed on impact and cracked his sternum.

The juror who got booted from the Diddy trial was NOT in awe of Diddy's celebrity or his rap empire ... we've learned the guy was indifferent about Diddy and is mostly into Spanish-language music, so there was no celeb wow factor for him.

A source close to Juror 6 tells TMZ ... the guy never wanted to be part of the high-profile trial, but he got a summons and ended up being picked for the jury.

We're told he's a quiet person who likes to get his work done without being hassled ... and he's not comfortable with all the media attention now that he's been kicked off the jury.

Justin Bieber's anger issues are only getting more intense, and he doesn't have the coping mechanisms to deal with his rage ... so says prominent therapist Dr. Jenn Mann.

We caught up with the reality TV star in Los Angeles on Tuesday ... and, we had to ask her what she makes of this former child star going off the rails on social media -- and berating the paparazzi to boot.

Dr. Jenn says she's super concerned about JB's behavior ... especially his posts about substance use. Remember, Bieber hasn't been shy when it comes to posting pics of himself smoking.

A woman went through absolute hell -- sprinting to dive into a pool after her drunk partner set her on fire while she was holding their 3-year-old son.

It’s all caught on chilling video -- the 22-year-old woman from rural Cuparaque, Brazil is seen literally engulfed in flames as she dashes to a neighbor’s garden and dives into their pool ... all while her partner chases her down, with their terrified son caught up in the chaos, trotting closely behind.

The woman hurls herself into the water, and the flames are instantly snuffed out in a cloud of steam. A second man -- believed to be the pool owner -- rushes to help.

A Southwest Airlines passenger went off the rails -- screaming, spiraling, and getting dragged off the plane in a full-blown meltdown caught on camera.

Multiple videos captured the chaos this week on a flight from NYC's LaGuardia to Kansas City -- an unidentified woman went berserk, attacking another female passenger and clinging to her hair for dear life, refusing to let go as others tried to peel her off ... without making things worse.

The belligerent passenger was certainly going through it ... insisting she wasn’t even touching the woman’s hair, despite a handful of the woman's locks in her fist -- full-on spiraling, hurling offensive slurs not just at her target but at everyone around her.

Hulk Hogan is NOT on his last legs -- TMZ Sports is told the WWE legend was hospitalized to address lingering neck and back issues this week ... but he is by no means on his deathbed.

The speculation started when local radio guy Bubba the Love Sponge went on air and stated he heard the wrestling icon was in bad shape -- to the point where his loved ones were getting called in to say their goodbyes.

Bubba couched a lot of his intel ... claiming his source was rock solid, but things could have changed since his last communication with them.

Bad blood clearly remains between Bill Belichick's current girlfriend and his former one ... as Jordon Hudson was spotted on Tuesday throwing shade at Linda Holliday.

The dig from Hudson came on her Instagram page ... as she was shoveling praise on one of her beauty pageant friends, Melissa Sapini.

On a carousel of Sapini-related photos, Hudson wrote a lengthy caption that congratulated the former Miss Massachusetts winner on completing her run with the crown. Toward the end is where she placed her Holliday jab.

Jax Taylor is eating humble pie after his latest antics, apologizing to estranged wife Brittany Cartwright -- and the viewing public -- and it's because Andy Cohen's calling him out big time!

Andy dropped the truth bomb on Tuesday’s "Watch What Happens Live," telling Jax that fans were livid about him having a platform on "The Valley" -- prompting Jax to admit watching himself in previous episodes was mortifying.

Jax said no one should ever endure the way he acted, especially not Brittany. He didn't hesitate in apologizing to her ... but not after acknowledging it had been a rough year for both of them.

Can you guess which sexy star put her summer bum on full display in this eye-popping selfie?! We're guilty of flashing you her hot shots last week, but we just couldn't help ourselves for Round 2!

This runway and print model is livin' up her celebrity status -- globe-trottin' and slaying the lavish lifestyle. Her red-hot Met Gala fashion lewk was a vibe!!!

It's like right out of a Hitchcock movie, but not really ... the judge pulled the plug in the Diddy trial Wednesday after learning one of the jurors came down with vertigo.

We don't know the underlying condition of the juror in question, but the evidence was truly head-spinning this week, with jurors fixated on various freak-off videos.

Jurors put on their headphones Tuesday and watched around 10 minutes of the vids, featuring sex scenes between Diddy, Cassie, and male escorts. You could hear a pin drop in the courtroom, as the peanut gallery heard moans bleeding through the headphones.

R. Kelly should absolutely not be pardoned -- 'cause one of his alleged victims, Joycelyn Savage, has been missing for years and is still believed to be in his grip and under his control, her family’s attorney tells TMZ.

Gerald Griggs -- attorney for Joycelyn’s family -- tells TMZ they’re slamming Kelly’s push for a Trump pardon ... insisting the singer still has a grip on Joycelyn, who they haven’t heard from since a short phone call back in 2019.

Watch the video ... Joycelyn's family has only heard from individuals claiming to represent her -- though it's unclear in what capacity. ICYDK, Joycelyn is R. Kelly's one-time fiancée, who many say is a victim. Her family believes she’s alive, hopes she’s healthy, and says they’d love nothing more than to hear from her directly.

Tucker Carlson went scorched earth on Ted Cruz ... blasting him for supporting Trump's aggressive policy on Iran while knowing the very basics about the country.

It's the best evidence so far there is a fissure in MAGA over U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts.

Tucker went right for the jugular ... asking Cruz if he knew the population of Iran. Ted threw up his hands, confessing ignorance. Tucker became his dramatic self as he laid into Cruz for his lack of knowledge.

"Step Up 2: The Streets" choreographer Dave Scott has died.

The beloved dancer died Monday, according to a post on his official Instagram account shared Tuesday.

An official cause of death has not been revealed. Rather, the heartfelt tribute focused on his impact as a father, dancer and friend to many, noting ... "The weight of this loss will send ripples through time. But his memory and legacy will continue to live on."

Henry Ruggs opened up publicly on Tuesday for the first time since he was thrown behind bars for killing a woman and her dog in a horrific 2021 car crash ... and he admitted he would still "love to" play football again once he's out of custody.

The former NFL star got candid with questioners for roughly an hour at a Hope for Prisoners event in Las Vegas ... in an effort to inspire current and former inmates during their journeys to successfully one day reenter society.

Ruggs touched on a bunch of topics in the chat -- including what led up to the November 2021 accident that changed his and so many other lives forever.
