‘Welcome to Plathville’: Moriah Shares Why She Blocked Ethan (Exclusive)
A new episode of the TLC series airs Tuesday, Oct 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Moriah and Ethan Plath are on the outs — big time. In a new episode of Welcome to Plathville, the siblings’ relationship continues to sour as Moriah reveals that she and her brother have not spoken in “months.”
The drama stems from Moriah’s decision to move out of the home in Tampa, Florida, that she previously shared with Ethan and his wife, Olivia Plath — Moriah’s former best friend. The move comes amid a fractured relationship between Moriah and Ethan’s mom, Kim Plath, and Olivia.
“It’s been a few months since I’ve spoken to Ethan,” Moriah reveals in ET’s exclusive clip from the upcoming episode, airing Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
“He was calling me every, like, all the time. And every time he would call me, it was, … I wasn’t even given the chance to speak, wasn’t listened to, and he would just yell at me,” she continues. “I didn’t know what else to do but just block him.”
Moriah says it’s “sad” that her brother is moving to Minnesota amid their estrangement, but she’s not ready to mend fences quite yet.
“Ultimately, what else can I do?” she wonders. “Like, I’m over it and it is what it is, and one day things will be in a better place and we can talk, but that’s not today and that’s too bad.”
Lydia Plath weighs in on the drama while having a meal with her sister.
“I know it’s a little touchy for Moriah right now and I totally get that,” she tells the camera. “Just hoping that everyone can work through things.”
In Tuesday’s episode, titled “Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow,” Moriah shows off a new tattoo and hosts her sisters for a special girls weekend while Ethan and Olivia bid farewell to Tampa. Meanwhile, Barry and Kim Plath sit down with their kids to talk about more changes in the family.
‘Welcome To Plathville’ Did Moriah & Ethan Plath Reconcile?
Welcome To Plathville star Moriah Plath ran far away from Olivia and shocked Ethan Plath when he found a note telling him she had bolted from their home. Instead of waiting for her sister-in-law to return from Europe to Tampa, the second-oldest daughter of Kim and Barry seemingly took the easy way out and disappeared. Is she done with speaking to her brother?
Moriah Plath Found Refuge With Ethan and Olivia Plath
All Kim’s daughter wanted to do was rebel and escape the cloistered life that she lived on the family farm in Georgia. Along came Olivia, her sister-in-law, and she encouraged her to get out and about. Actually, she did the same with Micah and helped him achieve his ambition as a model. However, it seems that gratefulness slithered away and now Olivia’s a pariah.
Moriah Plath went to Tampa and lived with her brother and Olivia before she split from Max Kalschmidt. Perhaps it was a good thing that Max decided not to move in with his then-girlfriend. Probably, you recall that skimpy clothing and flirty behavior put him off. After he split from the Welcome To Plathville star, Ethan and Olivia gave her emotional support, and arranged for a surprise visit by Micah. However, that wasn’t enough to keep his sister loyal to them.
Moriah Plath Turned On Olivia And Ethan?
Last season’s accusations by Olivia about Kim using Ethan’s credit card caused a major split in the family. Moriah Plath and Micah turned their backs on Olivia, in support of their mom. And, it seems that Moriah would like Ethan to fall on his sword or something because he married Olivia, the bad sheep. Ahead of the next episode, the newly baptized daughter appeared in a preview carried by Entertainment Tonight.
In the teaser, Moriah Plath, wearing her preferred black colors, spoke about Ethan and it became clear that she deliberately became estranged from him. As Welcome to Plathville airs retrospectively, Ethan and his wife were only just preparing for their move to Minnesota. Don’t expect a flowery farewell from his little sister. She claimed that she feels “sad,” but she hasn’t spoken to her brother for ages. Right now, she doesn’t seem able to reconcile. In fact, her attitude seems to be “too bad, so sad.”
Welcome To Plathville Star Blocked Her Brother
Moriah Plath claimed that after she left, Ethan persistently called her. However, she also said, “… I wasn’t even given the chance to speak, wasn’t listened to, and he would just yell at me.” So, she blocked him as she “didn’t know what else to do.” As of today Moriah Plath has scrubbed her social media of her brother Ethan.
Well, now that she’s back home, perhaps Moriah can borrow Lydia’s prayer closet and find a way forward. What are your thoughts?
