Veronica Peters had an explosive fight with boyfriend Micah Plath on the latest episode of Welcome to Plathville following continued issues with his family.
“My family doesn’t have anything to do with mine and your relationship,” Micah, 24, claimed during the Tuesday, August 19, episode of the TLC series.
Veronica, however, didn’t agree, claiming that his parents and siblings have been pushing her buttons.
“Your mom wanted me to put your name on the title of the house. We’re not married. I’m not a Plath,” she alleged, before claiming, “Your family wants to use me. You guys all call me a liar and I’m making up s***. … It’s a character mark.”
Micah insisted that his family wasn’t trying to mark her character, but the argument grew more intense with every word.
“Why do you call us emotionally unintelligent? Because we don’t see things the way you see them,” Micah asked after Veronica repeatedly said that both he and his family were not on her level emotionally.
Veronica quipped, “You’re not emotionally intelligent.” When Micah explained, “You’re talking so far down to me” and it hurt his feelings, his partner didn’t back down.
“I know I need to get on your level, so you guys understand me,” Veronica fired back in a condescending tone.
Veronica and Micah’s fight came after months of feuding over his alleged allegiance to his family over his girlfriend. According to Veronica, after she voiced concerns to the Plaths over Moriah Plath’s now ex-boyfriend, she was accused of purposely stirring the pot.
Since then, Veronica and Moriah haven’t spoken and Veronica has had a falling out with their dad, Barry Plath, who allegedly called her a liar for her past comments.
“I’m just getting gaslit by everybody. … It’s many people gaslighting against one. But blame me for being emotionally intelligent,” Veronica quipped while speaking to Micah and his siblings Amber Plath and Ethan Plath elsewhere during the episode.
Ethan, 27, asked Veronica what needs to happen “for a clean slate,” but she said it would never be possible.
“Your dad chose not to apologize. He said to Micah that he’s never treated me differently,” Veronica explained, to which Amber, 16, argued, “Maybe that’s what he thinks.”
Veronica and Micah’s issues continued to grow throughout the episode, with Veronica bringing up Micah’s past infidelity as proof that she has his back, but he allegedly doesn’t return the favor. (Micah confessed earlier this season to cheating on Veronica when they were long-distance.)
Veronica eventually confessed to speaking with Ethan’s ex-wife, Olivia Plath, behind the family’s back, which only hurt Micah even more.
“I never knew Olivia was another issue we had in between us,” Micah said after being taken aback that Veronica was calling Olivia, 27, to vent about his family following Olivia’s own problems with the Plaths prior to her and Ethan’s divorce.
Veronica insisted that talking with Olivia wasn’t an issue, but something she needed for her own sanity.
“It was actually finding out the truth [that] was the issue,” Veronica alleged. “And finding out that two very different strong women have been accused, blamed, gaslit by the same group and they led us to believe that we were the problem.”
Micah was stunned, replying, “I think you are reading way too far into this. I have wanted nothing but to have your back. I just want to be able to see my family.”
Veronica was not convinced that Micah was on her side, telling him to “grow a pair.”
After Veronica confessed, “I can’t keep doing this again,” and decided to go to their other house to “find myself again,” Micah was left reeling.
“I think this is the most I’ve been yelled at and, like, talked down to, talked over, talked every which way in my whole life,” he told the cameras. “We’ve had fights before; we’ve been through a lot. But as far as this level of steam that she’s blowing is new.”
Although Micah said it’s “hard to not walk away” when they are in such a bad place, he claimed, “I want nothing more than to fix this.”
Welcome to Plathville airs on TLC Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
