'Welcome to Plathville' star Olivia Plath's father-in-law Barry accuses her of 'brainwashing' son Ethan
CAIRO, GEORGIA: TLC's 'Welcome to Plathville' star Olivia Plath now lives with her husband Ethan Plath in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after deciding to end their Florida adventure.
The couple live away from the traditional Plath family home owing to differences between Olivia and her in-laws.
However, distance doesn't quite seem to cure sour relationships, as was evident in an exclusive Season 5 clip posted on TLC's official Instagram, where the Plath family spoke about Olivia's role in influencing Ethan.
Barry Plath accused daughter-in-law Olivia of 'brainwashing' his son Ethan as Moriah and Micah supported his claim.

Several fans expressed their support after Barry accused Olivia of 'relational destruction'. One user commented: "OLIVIA is about to learn that blood is thicker than water!!" while another user remarked: "Oilvia is the problem."
One user observed, "I have watched this show from the beginning and I could see Olivia manipulating Ethan."
Another user stated, "Olivia is in the wrong. She married a man and she married his family. Her love, respect, and devotion to her husband should have come before her ego."
One user identified that Olivia had her own problems, "Olivia needs help she's very immature and narcissistic."
Another user wrote, "Finally seeing how toxic Olivia is. Poor Ethan, I have said from the beginning that Olivia was brainwashing him."
Are 'Welcome to Plathville' stars Ethan and Olivia Plath still together?
Olivia and Ethan Plath are still living together. Earlier this year, Olivia quashed rumors of a breakup. People reported that she responded to an Instagram post that claimed Olivia's sister Sophia had disclosed that the couple was going through a divorce.
Olivia clarified to her fans that she shares a distant relationship with Sophia, whom she does not consider to be a reliable source. Olivia also added that if she and Ethan were to make an announcement regarding their marriage, they would do so themselves.
Why did Moriah Plath cut off ties with Olivia Plath?
Moriah Plath is the second oldest daughter of the Plath family and had previously shared a fond relationship with her sister-in-law Olivia, even going to the extent of bestowing her with the title of her ''best friend."
However, the relationship between the two deteriorated after Moriah distanced herself from Olivia, citing the latter's behavior as one of the factors.
Moriah is under the impression that Olivia has been spewing lies about Kim and Barry to vindicate the poor impression she has of her in-laws.
Who is Ethan Plath's wife Olivia Plath?
Olivia Marie Plath is the 25-year-old wife of Ethan Plath. She is a traveling photographer who spends her time photographing wedding ceremonies and individual portraits.
Like her husband, Olivia too grew up in a conservative Christian household from which she has since distanced herself.
'Welcome to Plathville' airs on Tuesdays at 10 PM ET on TLC.
