Moriah’s Take on Olivia

In a heartfelt confession to the camera, Moriah opens up about the growing chasm between her and Olivia. Once best friends, their relationship now seems strained. “Olivia has said a bunch of things about my parents for years, and it’s only gotten worse,” Moriah reveals. She feels the time has come to correct certain falsehoods and is driven to set the record straight.

The discord isn’t fresh. More than a year ago, Moriah and her siblings publicly announced their commitment to unity, stating, “We as a family have decided to not be divided anymore.” They emphasized their family’s bond of love and respect. Though Olivia wasn’t named directly, the underlying tensions were evident.

The Pivotal Memorial Incident

The family dynamics took a sharp turn during a July 2022 episode. The Plaths came together to commemorate Joshua Plath, their infant brother who tragically passed away in 2008. Details of this emotional gathering remain shrouded in secrecy. Yet, Olivia’s own acknowledgment of creating a disturbance during this somber occasion adds another layer to the family’s intricate relationships.

Moriah, deeply impacted by the event and its fallout, admitted reaching a “breaking point.” She said, “I am so done. I am so over it. I’m just tired of fragile relationships.”
