WELCOME TO PLATHVILLE STAR BREAKS SILENCE AMID BACKLASH FROM FAMILY
Plath Family Drama Unfolds: Lydia Plath Breaks Silence After “Welcome To Plathville” Backlash
The Plath family, known for working through their issues on “Welcome To Plathville,” has found themselves in the spotlight once again. This time, it’s after facing backlash regarding one family member’s new partner. Choosing to address the criticism head-on, they’ve taken to social media to express their feelings.
Season 7 of “Welcome To Plathville” has seen several Plath children venturing into new relationships. While some have received open arms from the family, others have faced scrutiny and disapproval.
Lydia Plath, one of the middle daughters, introduced her now-husband, Zac Wyse, to both her family and the show’s viewers. Their romance was a whirlwind, marked by a conscious decision to abstain from physical affection, including kissing, until their wedding day. The couple exchanged vows in February 2025, surrounded by loved ones. “Welcome To Plathville” captured significant moments leading up to their special day.
However, news of Lydia and Zac’s choice to wait until marriage for their first kiss sparked a wave of criticism. Viewers, along with members of her own family, have openly questioned Zac’s sexuality on the show. Lydia responded to the negativity with an Instagram post, expressing her sadness at the assumptions that they were simply “not attracted to each other.”
What Lydia’s Response to “Welcome To Plathville” Backlash Reveals
Defending Their Choices
Lydia and Zac made a conscious decision about their relationship, understanding that sharing their choice to abstain from kissing until their wedding day might invite public commentary. However, the intensity of her family’s disapproval, as portrayed on the show, likely added to the emotional weight of the situation.
Lydia’s siblings, particularly Ethan and Moriah Plath, voiced their concerns about Zac’s behavior and demeanor, as well as the rapid pace of Lydia’s decisions regarding her marriage. While their concern for their younger sister was understandable, their mockery of Lydia’s choices was perceived as disrespectful by many viewers.
Lydia and Zac’s decision to wait for physical intimacy may not resonate with everyone, but it was a choice made by two individuals who seemed confident in their path. By addressing the criticism and expressing her disappointment, Lydia is holding her family accountable for their words and actions.
