Welcome To Plathville: Olivia & Moriah’s Stolen Music Controversy Explained (Is Olivia Guilty?)

•  Olivia Plath has been accused of deleting Moriah’s music and keeping the proceeds, causing tension between them in Welcome To Plathville season 5.
•  Moriah’s music is her passion, and Olivia has helped her by providing photography services to promote her career.
•  Both Olivia and Moriah have their grievances, and without the full story from all sides, it’s difficult to determine who is right in the situation on Welcome To Plathville.

Welcome To Plathville‘s Olivia Plath has been accused of many things by the Plath family in the past, most recently of maliciously deleting music Moriah Plath had released and keeping the proceeds. While Olivia has been a polarizing figure for the Plath family throughout her time with their son, Ethan Plath, things have come to a head in recent years and throughout the start of Welcome To Plathville season 5. Moriah, who used to be incredibly close with Olivia, was depending on her sister-in-law for help with her music career, especially after the release of her song “Missed Myself”. While Olivia helped with the music, the release was somewhat tricky.

Moriah’s music has been the thing she’s most passionate about, and Olivia has taken the steps to help Moriah in building her career. As a photographer, Olivia has taken countless photos of Moriah for her to use publicly in order to promote herself and her music. While Moriah was looking for a favor, Olivia knew that she was offering a valuable service to her sister-in-law. Because the two had a close relationship, Olivia simply offered her services to Moriah and didn’t worry about the backlash she could see later. Welcome To Plathville season 5 has already laid out an interesting path between the sisters-in-law.

What Happened With Moriah Plath’s Music?

During Welcome To Plathville season 5 episode 2, Moriah explained to her father Barry Plath that Olivia released Moriah’s song under her own streaming account, rather than Moriah’s. While the song was credited to Moriah, Olivia was the one who received the proceeds from the music and had the administrative capabilities surrounding the song. When Moriah asked for it to be transferred into her account, she claimed Olivia left her on read. Moriah threatened legal action, so Olivia took the song down from streaming platforms and threatened legal action of her own. The pair left things tense after they were unable to come to an agreement.

Why Are Olivia And Ethan Angry With Moriah?

While Moriah has a decent reason to be upset with Olivia if her story is true, both Ethan and Olivia are equally angry with Moriah as well. Moriah had been living with Ethan and Olivia for some time, but wasn’t paying them the rent she’d agreed to. She moved out while the couple was away on a European vacation without warning, and when they returned home to find her gone, asked about the rent money. Moriah declined to answer them or pay, and when everything went down with Moriah’s music, Ethan called to try and talk. Moriah said he yelled at her, so she chose to block Ethan’s number.

Who Is In The Right Between Olivia And Moriah Plath?

Though it appears to be a somewhat cut and dry situation, the Plath family are not always the most truthful about the stories they share with each other. Though it’s possible that Olivia did choose to delete Moriah’s music without giving her the proceeds or profits, it is possible there’s another side to the story that viewers are not seeing. It’s also possible that there’s another side to Ethan and Olivia’s gripes with Moriah over rent that aren’t being considered. Without the full story from all sides, it’s hard to make a call on who’s in the right on Welcome To Plathville.
