The hits keep coming for the Plath family ofWelcome To Plathvillefame, as a star of the show has come forward with damning audio of another cast member allegedly spewing hateful comments.Welcome To Plathvillefirst aired on TLC in 2019, andit began as a sweet look at a wholesome Southern family who grew up away from the influences of the outside world.
As the seasons progressed, however,the family dynamics changedand, today, they are a shell of who they were duringWelcome to Plathvilleseason 1.
Paradereported that Olivia Plath, the ex-wife of Ethan Plath (the eldest son in the Plath family), recently shared an audio clip on her TikTok account that allegedly showedEthan having an angry confrontation with her. In the clips, Ethan allegedly blamed Olivia for the end of their marriage, saying she’d become “so radical” since they got married that he didn’t want to have kids with her.
“If I had a kid with you, you would think that it could become male, if it was a girl….I’d rather never have kids than having a kid that ended up being indoctrinated so they could be some blue, fluffy hair-colored piece of rat s***.”
What Olivia Plath Accusing Ethan Of Verbal Abuse Means
The way the Plath family unraveled throughout the course of their reality show should be studied. Ethan started out as the naive, shy eldest son who had married young and was settling into being a husband to Olivia. Today,he and Olivia are divorced, and he’s now dating Teegan Nichols.
The Plath parents, the overbearing Barry and Kim Plath, were once a strong unit that headed the family of nine kids with a strict hand.They announced their shocking split in 2022but are still finalizing their divorce.
ThePlaths have been the subject of darker allegationsbefore, withrumors that daughter Lydia Plath’s recent wedding ended in a violent brawl between brothers Micah Plath and Isaac Plathmaking the rounds, though nothing has been confirmed.
The Plath family has learned harsh lessons after agreeing to appear on reality TV.
They opened themselves up to criticismby appearing on their own show, of course, but they are paying the price in the form of losing their original family unit and having a negative public perception.
Our Take On Olivia Exposing Ethan’s Alleged Verbal Abuse
Victims Have A Right to Their Stories
Olivia has every rightto share her side of things from her and Ethan’s marriage, especially since so much of it was featured onWelcome To Plathville.For the Plath family, Olivia became a symbol of the destruction that the outside world could cause, even though she was just expressing herself differently than they did and had different beliefs.
Olivia was constantly criticizedby the family for not falling in lineand for being the cause of the estrangement between Ethan and his family. Olivia didn’t deserve any type of abuse, including the alleged verbal abuse she endured from Ethan.
She has a platform of fans who grew to know her during her time onWelcome to Plathville, andshe’s made it her mission to speak up for those who cannot, and to expose abusers, even if she used to be related to them.
