Fans of the reality show Welcome to Plathville were recently surprised by the confirmation of Olivia Plath and Ethan’s split and impending divorce, which the couple announced on social media. With Olivia now free from her marriage, some TLC fans have begun speculating about her sexuality, wondering if she might come out as bisexual.
There are a few reasons why fans believe Olivia Plath might be bisexual. Firstly, it seems that she enjoys the company of women, excluding her sisters Moriah and Kim Plath. Additionally, Olivia is more progressive compared to the other highly religious members of her family, like Lydia. She has also distanced herself from the religious teachings of her parents, as indicated by her social media post about attending “a thousand funerals of the people they used to be,” which may suggest she has been questioning her own sexuality.
Fans of Welcome to Plathville also noticed a conversation between Olivia and her younger sister, Lydia Meggs, where Olivia mentioned her mother telling her that men at the pool would “undress” her in their minds. This led Olivia to express her hesitation about being with men and even consider the possibility of being a lesbian.
Given these observations, some TLC fans on Reddit have discussed the possibility of Olivia Plath exploring her sexuality further and eventually coming out as bisexual. While some participants in the discussion expressed anger towards those questioning her sexual preferences, others felt it was a valid topic, particularly considering it is now 2023 and LGBTQ+ perspectives and choices are more widely accepted.
A few fans agreed that it wouldn’t be surprising if Olivia came out as bisexual, considering her openness to discussing the topic on the show. They compared her situation to other public figures who have recently come out, suggesting that this year has seen a greater acceptance and celebration of diverse sexual orientations.
It remains to be seen if Olivia Plath will make any further announcements regarding her sexuality, but fans are intrigued by the possibility and await any updates.
