Season 4 of 'Welcome To Plathville' has certainly been an emotional rollercoaster. Between Kim and Barry's divorce to Ethan working on his relationship with his parents, it seems like the Plath family has truly come a long way when it comes to communication. But there is one person who has no intention of working on their relationships and that seems to be Olivia.

Olivia opened up about what her issues with Kim were. She explained that it went all the way back to when she was 16. As a child in a family with 10 kids, Olivia often felt overlooked and didn't get the love and attention she needed from her own mother. That's where Kim stepped in and took on a parental role, to a point where they would talk daily.

However, when Olivia was of no use to her, Kim discarded her, as Olivia claims. When Olivia married Ethan, she noticed that Kim was using Ethan's credit cards while not granting him access to his own accounts. When Olivia changed his password, Kim confronted her which led to a massive blowout, including Kim accusing her of being possessed by the devil. Fans were worried about Olivia in general. "So Olivia comes from a large dysfunctional family like the Plaths and apparently Kim did her wrong along the way. #welcometoplathville" said a fan. "Why will any mother do that to their child too? Destroying your own child’s credit at a young age? Wow #welcometoplathville" added another. "If Kim took some accountability for hurting Olivia #welcometoplathville then things would be different" tweeted a fan.



 



 



 

But not everyone was on Team Olivia, seeing that some fans believed that Olivia was the issue and that she needed to fix the issues she had with her own family first, as it was the real root cause for her problems. "Okay so Olivia literally holds a grudge. We know Kim isn’t an angel but she’s replica of Kim herself with the control and narcissism #WelcomeToPlathville" said a fan. "I get it now, Olivia was looking for something she needed in Kim and didn't get it so it was well screw you then - she also doesn't need to put a situation with Kim and Ethan that may or may not have happened out there like that, thats for Kim and Ethan #WelcomeToPlathville" tweeted a fan. "So it sounds like Olivia needs to start by forgiving her own mother….then Kim……then…..#welcometoplathville" wrote another.
