Season 4 of Welcome to Plathville premiered, and Moriah Plath dropped a bomb on viewers: She and her long-time boyfriend Max Kallschmidt broke up. “Max called me one night and just said he made a mistake,” she said in an emotional scene from the show (via YouTube). “I’m not going to go into details. Since then, I have been in a dark place.”
In an interview with People, Ethan and Olivia Plath expressed their thoughts on the news. “I definitely was shocked by the split,” Ethan said. “I think when Mariah first got a phone call from Max, we kind of figured out what happened and she told us some pieces of information,” Olivia explained. “It was a shock for everyone.”
Meanwhile, Kallschmidt, sat down with Moriah’s brother, Micah Plath, in a scene on the show’s second episode of the current season. He expressed how he “f—– up” before bursting into tears (via YouTube). Kallschmidt explained to Micah that he met a woman at a former colleague’s retirement party, and he ended up kissing her. His actions led to Moriah breaking up with him once he told her the truth.
“Now it’s not only betrayal on Moriah’s part, but also on the friendship that we had,” Micah explained in the clip. “Most of us didn’t think he was capable of that.”
New episodes “Welcome to Plathville” air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
