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.

Celebrities took to social media to share touching tributes to their own dads and sweet snapshots with their children, flooding timelines with fatherly love and gratitude.

Oprah Winfrey kicked things off with a moving message about her father, writing, "My father is the root of all my successes -- personal, physical, financial -- because he understood intrinsically that fathering is a verb. It requires action, and acting according to the child you’re raising."

David Beckham marked Father’s Day with a heartfelt tribute to his role as a dad -- including a rare nod to all four of his children, even amid family drama with his son, Brooklyn.

Police plan to take Travis Decker -- the Washington man accused of savagely killing his three young daughters -- alive when they track him down ... despite the military veteran's dangerous reputation, and the fact he's possibly armed.

Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison tells TMZ it's unclear if Decker has weapons ... but they are tracking him diligently and hope to come into contact with him soon ... and their Plan A is to detain him peacefully.

Of course, it's possible Decker will get aggressive with authorities -- and Morrison says any use of force by law enforcement to neutralize a threat "will be determined by what is reasonable and necessary at the time."

Before this sweet lil' boy in his cozy jersey was acting, writing and directing in Hollywood, he was just on a mission to make it in the entertainment biz while growing up outside of Orange County, California.

At just 13 years old, he landed a recurring role on Fox's sitcom "The Pitts." He's probably most recognized from his days on Disney's "Wizards of Waverly Place" alongside Selena Gomez. He also played opposite of Adam Sandler and Taylor Lautner in a popular movie.

When this cool dude isn't hustling and bustling, he's a doting father to his three precious kiddos.
