Welcome to Plathville: Family spills truth on botched Season 4 Finale
Lydia, Isaac, Micah, and Moriah Plath have all come together to defend their mother Kim against the horrendous allegations by Olivia. During the explosive Season 4 Finale, Olivia accused Kim Plath of stealing money from Ethan.
“I will never forget marrying a 20-year-old man who his mom was using his credit card and buying things for herself and not paying him back.” Olivia said during the Finale. According to an official statement shared on Instagram by several members of the Plath family, the botched finale was heavily edited and fans only got part of the story.
According to the statement, Ethan and their mother Kim had a business agreement. An agreement they noted that made Ethan a fairly decent amount of money. Several members of the Plath family claim that both Kim and Ethan knew of every transaction that was made using the credit cards. Moreover, the family is not happy the story was so slanted and Kim wasn’t given the opportunity to defend herself or tell her side of the story.
Plath family urges fans not to trust reality TV
Within the statement, Lydia, Isaac, Micah, and Moriah Plath all recognize Welcome to Plathville is a TV show at the end of the day. The production team has one goal in mind — to get views. Unfortunately, this means the family has no control or say in how the editing plays out or what does and doesn’t make it into the episodes.
The Plaths urged fans to remember that reality TV is not real life. Lydia, Isaac, Micah, and Moriah Plath concluded the statement by reminding fans there are still several young and vulnerable members of their family. These young members of the family are ultimately the reason why they decided to spill the truth on this botched Finale. The family agreed it wasn’t fair for an incomplete story to cause the world to pass judgment on Kim Plath to be out there.

Why would she need a credit card in his name? That doesn’t make sense. That’s great if she and her husband helped him make some money, that their oldest son who married very young, and didn’t have the benefit of a traditional education and college to help him, or any other trade school. So I don’t know why she would need a credit card in his name, and I still understand Olivia being upset. If that was a healthy gift with no strings, just do it and leave it at that. Don’t insist you have a credit card in his name. That’s weird, and reminds me of people I knew that did things to get tax breaks or hide income. I think the kids may just be taking up for her, because now they are getting along. There was no need for her two have a credit card in his name to use. Unless Barry was not letting her have one of her own. Now if he was controlling her that’s a totally different scenario. Then I could understand her asking her oldest son.
There are many reasons why Kim may have a credit card in her son’s name if they were, in fact, in business together. She may have ordered supplies and used the credit card to pay for things while her son did the labor end of the business. She may have loaned him money to start up the business and instead of him paying her back in cash they agreed she would use the card to make a purchase for herself. If they had an agreement to pay Kim for her work in the business instead of paying her cash, she used the credit card to avoid income taxes. Or maybe it was Kim’s business and she put it in Ethan’s name just to help him build his credit. Maybe the items she purchased seemed to be for herself but that doesn’t make it true.
If the producers are making their mother look bad it will fall back to the kids in years to come. They will be asked about it for years. They have the right to set records straight and not just allow Olivia to be the beneficiary of all the support of the fans. This is not just about Olivia or just about Kim, this is about the family, all of them. One family member attacking another one constantly shouldn’t be the angle of the show, but it clearly is. Why does everyone assume Olivia is nothing but honest and sincere? Strong wives often have conflict with strong mother in laws but that doesn’t mean they should set out to ruin each other. If she loves her husband, then she is forgetting that he is a part of his mother and her influences helped make him the boy she first fell in love with.
As for Kim, no one really knows what she has been through. The fact that she was at home on that farm for decades without friends to go to lunch with, out to shop or just sit around gossiping could have an impact on her as well. Everyone knows what they did to the kids didn’t work out the way their parents thought it would but it has to be difficult for the parents to recognize that too late for some of their children. If Kim sits around and talks about herself so much maybe, it’s because so many people have attacked her on social media and she now feels she has to paint herself in a better light in order to be considered human. She could be trying to change people’s mind but doing it in all the wrong ways. So easy to think only one way.
