Welcome to Plathville
Kim stars in the reality TV series Welcome to Plathville, showing the daily challenges and activities she and her family go through. They share a passion for music, religion, family life and traditional roles.
Except for Ethan and Hosanna, who both live elsewhere with their spouses, the Plath parents and their children live on a farm in rural Georgia, where their kids are largely sheltered from the outside world.
Why is Hosanna Plath not on the show?
When asked about their older sister's absence from the show, Moriah shared the most significant reason Hosanna isn't on the show.
"She got married at a young age and moved off with her husband and started her life somewhere else." Moriah explained.
Why is Olivia not accepted by the Plath family?
The oldest child, Ethan, is married to Olivia. The second season of Welcome to Pathville ended with a brawl between Ethan, 23, and his father, Barry. The season ended with Ethan ranting at his father about how he and his father had treated his wife, leading to his decision to leave the family.
Ethan's younger brother, Micah, provided Us Weekly an inside glimpse at what has truly been going on between Kim and Olivia before the start of season three. The 20-year-old began by criticizing his mother for being overbearing at Ethan and Olivia's wedding.
As a result of the family friction, Olivia and Ethan's relationship begins to disintegrate in the new season of Welcome to Plathville.
Their feud, however, started long before the show. Olivia first discussed the problems between her and Kim in 2019.
'I have felt very negative about Kim,' she told People Magazine.
