Welcome To Plathville is a popular TLC show, focusing on Kim and Barry Plath and their nine children. One of the most notable events in the family’s history was the marriage of their oldest son, Ethan Plath to Olivia Plath in 2018. But the couple fell out and announced their separation in October 2023. During their time together, Olivia faced a “power struggle” with Ethan’s mother, Kim.
Many believe that she saved herself from a lifetime of misery by distancing herself from the family. While Kim has not been particularly welcoming of Olivia, it seems the other Plath members are quite fond of her. Recently, Olivia had the opportunity to meet with Ethan’s sister, Moriah Plath. However, it appears Kim was not entirely pleased with the reunion.
Welcome To Plathville: Kim Plath Continues To Target Olivia!
Olivia Plath has been living her best life since her separation from Ethan in October 2023. Notably, during her time with Ethan, the Welcome To Plathville star had to endure their lies and hypocrisy. Even Ethan did not take her side, accusing her of everything that went wrong in their marriage. At one point, Moriah accused Olivia of stealing her music and profiting from it.
Despite Olivia firmly denying this, Moriah stood stern by her statement. However, in Welcome To Plathville season 6, Moriah finally recognized her mistake and apologised to her sister-in-law. Olivia, though, found the apology unclear and had a hard time trying to make sense of what to do with it. Despite the lack of clarity, it was clear that the two have moved past their old grievances.
On the other hand, Kim doesn’t seem to be as accepting of their reconciliation. Her bitterness was quite apparent to Welcome To Plathville fans, who went to Reddit to call her out. One fan wrote, “Kim’s still talking sh*t about Olivia.” Throughout Olivia’s marriage with Ethan, Kim never missed a chance to blame her for the family issues despite Olivia not being at fault.
“Who is Kim ganna blame all of her problems on now? She must be giddy about the divorce. It wouldn’t have been possible without her,” a user said. Another comment read, “It’s absolutely insane to me how much she holds against olivia who she met as a literal child.” A third comment said, “Kim is jealous. Olivia supports herself and isn’t so broke.”
Welcome To Plathville: Was Kim Scared Of Olivia Plath?
Kim often clashed with Olivia for demanding respect from her in-laws and husband. Despite being raised in a conservative environment, the Welcome To Plathville star did not have the same values as the Plath family. She would often try to show Ethan how controlling his mother was. One major issue during their marriage was Kim using Ethan’s credit cards.
This led to Ethan cutting ties with his family. Kim was shocked by Olivia’s influence over her son and tried to drive a wedge between them. While Kim frequently bashed Olivia, it seems she ultimately followed her lead by divorcing Barry after 20 years of marriage. It seems Kim feared Olivia’s sense of independence and growing popularity.
