MTV Star Whitney Purvis Faces Legal Battle After Friend's Overdose

EXCLUSIVE: Whitney Purvis, Star of MTV's 16 and Pregnant, Lands $15,000 Bond in Connection with Involuntary Manslaughter Charge in Friend's Fatal Overdose!

Get ready for a juicy update on Whitney Purvis' legal woes! The former MTV star has just been granted a whopping $15,000 bond by a Georgia court in connection with her involuntary manslaughter charge in the fatal overdose of her friend John Mark Harris.

But will she be able to make that bond? Insiders tell TMZ that it's unclear at this point. One thing is for sure - Whitney's got a lot on her plate right now. Not only is she facing charges related to John Mark's tragic death, but she's also still reeling from the loss of her own son Weston just last month!

As part of her bond conditions, Whitney will have to keep a 7 p.m. to 7 p.m. curfew, stay at a residence in Bartow County, Georgia, and refrain from consuming drugs or alcohol - not that she's been spotted partying anytime recently! But the real kicker? She's banned from contacting John Mark's family members - no sympathy visits, no calls, nothing!

Whitney's legal woes began when authorities arrested her earlier this month in connection with John Mark's fatal February 17 drug overdose. The reality star allegedly provided him with the narcotics that led to his tragic end.

But Whitney's not without her sympathizers. Just days before her arrest, she penned a heartfelt memorial on the site of the funeral home where John Mark's arrangements were handled:

"John mark, I hate that I found out what happened today and missed your funeral," Whitney wrote. "I wish I could've found out sooner and attended your celebration of life."

It's clear that Whitney was deeply affected by John Mark's passing - and it's no wonder, given their close bond over cooking! Who knew that a shared passion for whipping up a mean meal could lead to such tragedy?

As the investigation unfolds, we can't help but wonder what led Whitney down this path. Was she struggling with addiction? Or was something else at play?

Meanwhile, back in June, Whitney posted an emotional tribute to her late friend on Instagram:

"You've been my rock, John Mark," she wrote. "I'll miss waking up to your silly messages and pictures you'd send me... I'll miss marshal and lunchbox. I'll miss your amazing cooking... I'll never forget you."

It's clear that Whitney loved John Mark deeply - but can she find a way to heal from these twin tragedies?
