Ethan Plath Doesn’t Hold Back About Kim Plath
However, when Welcome to Plathville star, Ethan Plath, segways to the topic of Kim Plath, he isn’t nearly as kind. Unquestionably, he doesn’t feel like Kim has handled the separation as well. And it seems he places the blame on her for the situation almost entirely. Moreover, he explains, “Another blow to dad with the divorce is the way mom’s gone about it.” At this point, he is referring to her relationship with her boyfriend, Ken Palmer. Markedly, he feels very strongly about her choice, saying, “To see other people while you’re still married, I don’t know where you stand on that, but I think is very wrong.”
Additionally, Ethan Plath continues, “As far as I see it, when the divorce papers’ signed and you’re officially legally divorced, no longer with that person, the next minute, if there’s been somebody you’ve been dying to be with, that’s your decision.” Ethan elaborates, “I just think it’s wrong to start a relationship with someone when you’re still finalizing the divorce with the person that you’re still married to.”
