Veronica Peters Defends Her Behavior During Lydia Plath’s Proposal After ‘Welcome to Plathville’ Fans Slam Her “Cruel” & “Vile” Actions
Veronica Peters, the former girlfriend of Micah Plath, is doubling down on the “cruel” and “vile” behavior she exhibited on this week’s episode of Welcome to Plathville.
Tuesday’s episode of the TLC series showed the moments leading up to and immediately following Lydia Plath’s engagement to Zac Wyse; however, it was the childish behavior of Veronica, Micah and Ethan Plath that seemed to overshadow what was meant to be a special moment for Lydia and Zac.
Not only did the trio ignore Zac as he attempted to explain the details of his proposal, Ethan decided to set multiple mini-fires in the very spot that Zac planned to pop the question and Micah pushed a chair into the water after being asked to move it. Micah also nearly knocked Zac over when he (for some reason) rolled his body downhill at the proposal site.
While Ethan and Micah’s terrible behavior was likely expected by fans of the show, viewers also watched as Veronica joined in on the hazing of Lydia’s man by trying to get Ethan and Micah on-board with doing “the opposite” of whatever Zac instructed them to do. Moments before Lydia arrived to the surprise proposal, Veronica also took the top layer of her clothes off to reveal a shiny mini-dress, telling viewers that Zac had instructed everyone to show up wearing “church clothes.”
“ … I was like, ‘OK, that’s what I’m NOT going to do,’” Veronica told viewers. “I don’t listen to anybody, never mind a man I’ve never met. I am my own mind.”
Others present at the proposal were less-than-impressed at Veronica’s attempt to steal the attention away from Zac and Lydia.
“I think she thought it would be like, ‘Ooh, my gosh, look what she’s wearing,’” Lydia’s 16-year-old sister Amber Plath stated. “And everyone is going to be paying attention to her and no one’s going to care about the proposal. [She thinks people will be] like, ‘Veronica, what are you wearing, it’s so risky’ or whatever. And I don’t think anyone really realized.”
While Veronica– who split with Micah shortly after Lydia and Zac’s February wedding– has recently spoken out about both the alleged abuse she suffered while filming Season 7 of ‘Welcome to Plathville’ and her disdain for the entire Plath family, this week’s episode appeared to tell a much different story– one which viewers were quick to call out on social media.
Following the episode, many fans of the show took to Veronica’s latest Instagram post to let her know that they found her behavior “extremely rude,” with one questioning why she chose to “join in and be so cruel” to Zac.
“ … you know it’s a highly edited version of what happened,” Veronica replied in the comments. “I firmly believe in testing people’s true colors before you [marry] them. My family paid people to test my brother-in-law’s true colors and they turned out fine not for nothing.
“I don’t see their marriage lasting if he’s near that family,” she added, referring to Zac and Lydia’s union.
When another fan wrote that they were surprised to see Veronica supporting Ethan and Micah’s bullying of Zac, Veronica continued to defend her behavior, insisting that, “you have to test people’s true colors” and mentioning again that her family allegedly “paid somebody” to “test” her brother-in-law. In another response, Veronica doubled down on her prediction about Lydia and Zac’s marriage.
“ … They’ll be divorced soon anyways,” she wrote.
While Veronica didn’t respond to all of her critics, that didn’t stop viewers from continuing to take to the comment section to let her know that they were shocked by what they saw on the episode. One fan in particular claimed that, after listening to Veronica “play victim to the Plath family for months,” they were on her side, but their opinion changed after the latest episode of ‘Welcome to Plathville.’
“ … you [ganging] up on [Zac] with those piece of s**t Plath brothers, that was vile,” they wrote. “I never thought you would stoop to their level.”
Others also took to the comment section claiming to have had a change of heart about Micah’s ex, with one person encouraging Veronica to “do better.”
“ … all I will say after watching you on tonight’s episode, is that it was definitely a hard watch seeing three 20-something year olds acting like mean little children – do better/be better especially when you know you are being filmed,” the comment read.
Viewers also accused Veronica of being a “mean girl” that “fits right in” with the very family she’s been trashing online.
“Watching tonight’s episode, you aren’t any better than what you accuse the Plath family of. All I saw was a mean girl,” one person wrote, with another adding, “Very disappointed in her. And you’re right. She’s ‘exactly’ like them. Fits right in.”
While fans online have also been slamming Ethan and Micah in the wake of this week’s episode, neither have addressed their behavior; Lydia and Zac have also yet to address Ethan, Micah and Veronica’s behavior.
New episodes of ‘Welcome to Plathville’ air Tuesday’s on TLC. Watch a clip from this week’s episode below.
