The Plath Family Threw A Party To Celebrate Ethan & Olivia's Divorce Proving They Are The Real Villains

Summary The Plath family celebrated Olivia and Ethan's divorce, cementing their status as the true villains in Olivia's story.

Olivia faced backlash from Ethan's family for trying to change their treatment of him, causing tension in their marriage.

The Plath family never gave Olivia a chance, leading to a strained relationship and ultimately, Olivia's untimely divorce.

Welcome To Plathville star Olivia Plath recently shared more information about her ex-in-laws, and with disturbing details about the alarming family event after her divorce from Ethan, it’s clear they’re the true villains of the story. Ethan and Olivia, who are in their mid-20s, both grew up in homes that prioritized fundamentalist religion over the wellbeing of their kids. Olivia, who is now estranged from her parents, has shared that growing up in such a difficult environment inhibited the way she learned about the world. With Ethan growing up in a similar home, the pair found solace in each other.

Ethan and Olivia’s marriage was explored in-depth during Welcome To Plathville season 5, when the couple’s issues began to be documented by the show. While Ethan and Olivia’s relationship had been strong at the start, the couple wasn’t getting along after several years of marriage, with Olivia wanting to embrace change while Ethan wished to remain the same. Unable to see eye-to-eye about their future, the couple tried to rehabilitate their relationship. With Ethan’s family uninterested in seeing Olivia continue in their family, things didn’t go well. The pair’s divorce was tough for them, but a celebration for the Plaths.

The Family Threw A Party

Although Olivia and Ethan’s divorce is still playing out on Welcome To Plathville season 6, she shared some behind-the-scenes information that was both disturbing and unsurprising during a recent episode of the So Bad It’s Good podcast. According to Olivia, when the Plath family discovered she and Ethan would be divorcing, they threw a party to celebrate the occasion.

Olivia’s relationship with the Plath family hasn’t been positive in years, though there was a time at the beginning of her marriage to Ethan when his family adored her. Early on, Olivia got along with Kim Plath and the rest of the family, but when she began calling the Plaths out about their treatment of Ethan, things got messy. Kim didn’t like the idea of someone changing how she interacted with her son, while the rest of the Plaths weren’t sure how to get around the opinion of their overbearing mother. Kim’s behavior was the worst of the whole family.

They Never Gave Her Marriage A Chance

After learning that the Plath family threw a party to celebrate her heartbreaking divorce from Ethan, it’s clear that they’re the villains of Olivia’s story. While she did her best to be kind and gracious to the family, they were never reciprocal in their behavior, instead tearing her down and trying to destroy her relationship endlessly.

The Welcome To Plathville star was never given a chance to be part of the family she married into.
