Welcome to Plathville season 5 features some serious family dysfunction, and the Plaths, including Ethan, have said shocking things about Olivia.
Welcome to Plathville star Olivia Plath is always at the center of the storm, and some of the Plaths, including her former husband Ethan Plath, have said terrible things about her. She can be very hard-headed, so Olivia may need to take responsibility for some of the feuds.
However, she's never really been accepted by the family. Now, Kim and Barry Plath are more relaxed - they were very uptight in early seasons of the show, when they disapproved of Olivia because of their ultra-conservative beliefs.
On Welcome to Plathville season 5, the Plath family's problems have hit critical mass. Olivia feuded with everyone, and her issues with Moriah Plath, Ethan and his parents may have led to a divorce. Kim and Barry drifted apart, but they're trying to be friends. Olivia and Ethan may not be able to achieve that kind of amicable relationship.
Their divorce has gotten messy, thanks to cheating rumors about Ethan and communication problems. Since there's been so much turmoil, it's not surprising that some of the quotes shown below fall into the "blistering" category.
Micah Plath Obviously Disapproves Of Olivia Plath
Everyone's turning on Olivia, including Ethan's brother Micah Plath, who's usually a fairly gentle person. When he talked about how bad Ethan and Olivia's marriage looked, as per the show, he was clearly taking a jab at Olivia. After their split, he became even more critical, implying that if anyone cheated in Ethan and Olivia's relationship, it was Olivia.
There's no proof that anyone cheated. Ethan was spotted with a brunette (her identity's still a mystery), but it's quite possible that Ethan and Olivia were already separated when an eagle-eyed fan caught him "red-handed" at a bar. As for Olivia, there has been chatter that she stepped out on Ethan, but nothing's been proved.
Since Ethan was getting slammed for cheating, Micah probably felt defensive. He said things that might not be true. Even if they are, it is his place to talk about their marriage and what went wrong? Probably not.
Moriah Plath Has Had It With Olivia Plath
Moriah and Olivia were as thick as thieves, and now they're not. Their relationship may have unraveled simply because they spent too much time together. Maybe they were just too close. When Moriah moved into Ethan and Olivia's Tampa, Florida home, it seemed idyllic at first.
However, Moriah started to clash with her housemates, and when Ethan and Olivia were in Europe, Moriah moved out without telling them first. This signaled a rift that may never be repaired. Ethan and Moriah will probably be okay, but now that Ethan and Olivia have split up, it's highly unlikely that they'll make up.
The quote above shows just how bad Olivia and Moriah's relationship has gotten. The fact that Moriah would unload on Olivia this way while the cameras rolled speaks volumes. When Moriah said the words shown above, she'd obviously given up on their friendship. Olivia must be very hurt by all of this.
The Plaths Released A Barely Cryptic Joint Statement
Lydia and other Plath family members seemed to throw shade at Olivia when they made a shocking joint statement. It's seen above, and the other Plaths who are active on Instagram, except Ethan, posted just the same. While their shared statement was somewhat cryptic, it's almost certain that it was directed at the "villain" Olivia.
She's the one they don't get along with. She's the one who accused Kim of misusing Ethan's credit card. They really triggered the other Plaths. The statement followed her accusation, and it's safe to say that there was a connection between the two events.
Olivia should have thought twice before publicly accusing Kim of theft. Of course, the kids are going to defend their mother. While Kim isn't perfect, she's their mom. They love her despite her flaws. However, Olivia's clearly past caring how her missives are received. She's interested in telling her side of the story.
Her truth may differ from Kim's. Everyone has their own perspective. Sometimes, the "truth" is a gray area. Kim's never going to admit to using Ethan's credit card and not repaying him, if she did it. She's way too stubborn for that kind of thing. So, the truth may always be murky.
Kim Plath Basically Compares Olivia Plath To The Devil
Kim is a bit of a drama queen, always needing conflict. She appears to be bored by feud-free living. That may be why she thought it was appropriate to blast Olivia for being filled with "evil spirits." Of course, Kim was way out of line. Olivia isn't as devoutly religious as Kim, but that doesn't mean that she's the devil. There are plenty of atheists out there who aren't the devil either. Conversely, there are Christians who don't live their faith. They just pretend. Kim may actually be one of those people.
Where does Kim get off telling the world that Olivia's possessed? She's making her sound like that girl from The Exorcist. Did she say that because Olivia drank boozy beverages now and then, or ate something sugary? Did Olivia watch too much TV or enjoy using the Internet? Olivia didn't actually corrupt Ethan. He wanted more from life than being sequestered in Cairo, Georgia could provide. That's why he chose a partner who was adventurous.
In the end, he chose someone too different. However, he clearly didn't want someone who was just like him. In her role as a mother-in-law, Kim failed with a vengeance. Instead of welcoming Olivia into a troubled family, she excommunicated the young woman, who'd already been through the wringer with her own uber-religious family. On a human level, Kim was cruel and nasty. Now, she's surely gloating over the divorce. This side of Kim is rather ugly and indefensible.
Moriah Plath Implies That Olivia Plath Stole Proceeds From Her Music
The Welcome to Plathville stolen music controversy was yet another example of family dysfunction. In the quote above, Moriah stops just short of calling Olivia a thief. She plants the seed that Olivia's some kind of scammer. Olivia may have actually done something improper, such as putting Olivia's music on her website and then failing to pass on the proceeds from downloads. However, making this all public was sketchy to say the least.
Barry Plath eventually got involved, threatening legal action against Olivia. That apparently led to some kind of settlement. Now, Moriah and Olivia are estranged. This scandal was another sign that Olivia and Moriah are so over. Few friendships could survive this sort of turmoil.
Ethan Plath Was Tired Of Trying
Ethan's not the most rebellious person, but the formerly mild-mannered reality TV show star definitely reached his breaking point during the newest Welcome to Plathville season. He started speaking out in ways that he never had before. He became quite harsh about his marriage, whereas before, it seemed like he would do anything for his wife.
In the quote above, Ethan seemed so bitter. Inside his mind, his marriage was obviously in its death throes. They'd been together for years, and at this moment, Ethan was realizing that there was no hope. He was mentally preparing for what the future would bring i.e divorce. Olivia isn't all bad, but she's such a bossy person. She pushed Ethan around, and his comment showed that he was tired of taking orders. He wanted a happier life.
