Moriah Plath is Outta There! Reality Star Moves Out Amid Ugly Feud with Sister-in-Law

November 2020 · 4 minute read

Moriah has made a major life decision.

Amid a major feud with her former close friend.

A few days ago, the Welcome to Plathville star shared a photo of herself and her adorable dog, penning as a caption to the Instagram image:

“It’s been a long past few days for Blackjack and I, but we made it to our new temporary home and it’s time to de-stress and get a good nights sleep if this cutie will let me.”

Why is this notable?

Because Moriah had previously been living with her brother, Ethan, and her sister-in-law, Olivia.

She was especially close to the latter… until an incident documented toward the end of Welcome to Plathville Season 4.

At a memorial for Moriah’s brother, who died as an infant in 2008, Olivia caused some sort of dramatic scene.

It’s unclear exactly what transpired, but Moriah reacted to the incident by saying on air that she had basically had it with her sister-in-law.

“Today I have officially reached my breaking point with all of this drama,” Moriah said in an interview, referring to whatever went down.

“I am so done. I am so over it. I’m just tired of fragile relationships.

“If you have to constantly walk on eggshells around somebody’s feelings, if you spend three to four years of your life trying to make that person happy and then you make one decision that doesn’t make ’em happy and it affects your whole relationship?

“That’s not a true friend.”

Not long after this episode aired, Moriah appeared to hurl shade at Olivia on social media.

On her Instagram Stories on August 2, Moriah shared a quote from what she cited was @selflessquotes. It read as follows:

you cannot heal a person who keeps using their pain as an excuse to hurt you. READ THAT AGAIN

Moriah didn’t cite Olivia by name — but she later did so as part of a statement released by her and her siblings.

In a shocking message posted a couple weeks ago, Moriah and company wrote:

“We as a family have decided to not be divided anymore.

“There is a lot more to the story than what you all have seen on the show.

“While we understand that this is a TV show and we are not in control how the show is edited, we are actually a family that is full of love and respect for each other.

“That being said, we as a family are not going to sit back and watch as our family is driven apart.”

This statement seemed to be in response to the August 4 installment of Welcome to Plathville… during which Olivia alleged that her mother-in-law, Kim Plath, used her son’s credit card years ago without permission.

The 24-year old further claimed that her long-time rival stole from Ethan.

After Olivia confronted her husband about what happened, Olivia said her spouse didn’t know his password to revoke his mom’s access.

Olivia relayed this tale to make Kim look back… but Kim’s children are now saying their mother was painted with an unfair and incomplete brush in this instance.

“Mom and Ethan had a business agreement in which Ethan earned a good bit of money. And both parties were aware of any transactions that were made,” Moriah and her brothers and sisters wrote in their message.

“Our mom should have had the opportunity to defend herself and tell her side of the story.”

The posting went on:

“Some of us kids have been rebels and are finding our place in life and are very thankful to be supported and unconditionally loved by our family… no matter what choices we make or who we become

The Plath Family rose to fame in November 2019 upon premiere of their TLC reality program.

It chronicles Kim and Barry Plath‘s lives as parents of NINE kids — they share Ethan, Hosanna, Micah, Moriah, Lydia, Isaac, Amber, Cassia and Mercy — in rural Georgia.

The large brood, who used to be part of their own band, live remotely with strict rules. Including no television viewing nor drinking of soda.

Such strict guidelines have caused a problem for Olivia, as she’s encouraged Ethan to break free from his mom and dad ever since they started dating.

“Please remember that we are human and do make mistakes. Nobody is perfect and we continue to learn and grow with everyday. Not one person is at fault,” wrote the siblings in this new statement.

“We also have younger siblings that are at very vulnerable ages and this is not fair nor healthy for them. We’ve come to the realization that unless we speak up this cycle will never end.

“We ask that you have compassion for us and understand that not everything you see on the show is as it actually is in real life.”

“In their message, the younger Plaths thanked fans for their support and concluded:

Family first.

Presumably, in their mind, this family no longer includes Olivia Plath.
