Did Micah Plath Shame Olivia For Something He’s Done?

On Reddit, fans point out that Micah Plath’s comment about Olivia Plath seems very judgemental. First, a user says, “Did Micah Plath really just shame Olivia indirectly for not being close to her family??” Then, they add, “Did he really imply that Olivia being estranged from her family was a red flag and makes her not worthy of a relationship? …cuz I’m pretty sure that’s what I heard. He was talking about his girlfriend and saying that he loved how close she was to her family and that she was such a family person. That was one of the reasons he committed to her. He was comparing his relationship to Ethan and Olivia’s, and basically implying that her situation with her family was somehow a red flag.”

Micah Plath Ironically Judges Olivia

Furthermore, it seems like the pot is calling the kettle black in Micah Plath’s assertion of Olivia Plath and her family.

Wasn’t Olivia abandoned by her family for not being a fundie extremist anymore?”

However, the user points out that Micah Plath turned away from his family’s beliefs. Furthermore, it was in a similar way to how Olivia Plath disregarded her family’s teachings. Saying, “Um…Micah, if they were your parents they probably wouldn’t want you to be on the same planet as them. You’ve basically admitted to sleeping around casually (no judgement btw) and literally doing whatever TF u want. And meanwhile, Olivia’s biggest sins as a married woman was what? A nose ring and a pair of pants? Wtf? Everyone has their faults but to blame her for her extremist parents shunning her is not only extremely misguided, but also insanely cruel.”

Fans See The Irony

Although Welcome To Plathville star, Micah Plath left Barry and Kim Plath‘s house and rules as a teenager to find his way, he reconciled with them later on. However, he seems to blatantly pass judgment on Olivia Plath for not being close to her family by complimenting Veronica. Other fans weigh in:

  • “Micah is setting himself up for his own public misery. He has no more feelings for his bot girlfriend than a box. He’s in it for the optics, and even those are suspect.”
  • “He doesn’t seem very happy with her, she is definitely his new matriarch/mom.”
  • Another person agrees that Micah Plath was throwing shade, “It was in fact very direct.”
  • “Yep, you heard him right. It was gross. To shame someone for their parent’s shortcomings is awful. He should know.”
  • “Pfft he’s one to talk, running away to Los Angeles so he can do whatever he wants without his parents watching.”
  • “Don’t worry Micah’s day is coming soon. He seriously lacks self awareness. Extremely judgmental of everyone not named Plath.”

Did He Get Pardoned By Family Because Of The Show?

Since Micah Plath and several of his siblings rebelled against Kim and Barry Plath, Welcome To Plathville viewers question if they were only given grace because of the reality TV show.

  • “Lol at his parents only taking him back when they got messier than their kids.”
  • “I have to wonder if Micah, Moriah, and even Ethan would still be shunned from the family if it weren’t for the cameras and comments in Kim and Barry’s faces. I mean, at this point they really need the money from the show. I feel like they both decided to ‘soften up’ on the kids as more of a business decision. The bonus was making Olivia look like the stubborn, controlling one (when she was literally just trying to mentally survive.)”

  • “Yet again, anyone who goes against Saint Olivia gets the horns in this group. They’re both victims of a crazy cult-like religion. They are both victims of parents who OBVIOUSLY have issues that they handed down to their children. Yet, Olivia gets a pass and the Plath kids get fried. I don’t understand it. I feel sorry for ALL of them. ALL of them say crazy stuff. ALL of them do crazy stuff. ALL of them are just trying to find peace and happiness. ALL OF THEM. Except Lydia. She’s happy in her prayer closest.”

  1. Micah has no real job skills other than modeling. Ethan is mechanical skills, Olivia makes a good living as a skilled photographer. Moriah, is she making any money as a singer? Issac could have a future in aviation. All these “kids” had their education stunted. Supposedly now the oldest daughter at home is homeschooling the younger ones. Given that the older ones are lacking, if the younger are being taught the same way, lord help them.

    Olivia had her faults but she would never be able to overcome the damage done to Ethan. Even now Kim refuses to take any blame and still says it’s all Olivia’s fault. I’m wondering why they glossed over Kim’s drunk driving charges.
