You would think with little Weston dying that we could put our differences aside right? Nope. It always has to be drama. You had to be on a list to get into the funeral.

Me and all my friends and family were not allowed to come in,\u201d Whitney continued, adding:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wouldnt matter what time I got there I wasnt getting in. If that wasn\u2019t sick enough, they tried to spin it around and say I was 2 hours late to his funeral and i knew it was at two. Like come the hell on, I would never!! Use your brain!
