Welcome to Plathville star Kim Plath has been open about her struggles in the past with alcohol. After her recent DUI arrest, it looks like the past isn't too far behind her. The mother of nine has grown restless in her marriage as well as the constraints and responsibilities of motherhood. In an attempt to build the life that she wanted, she may have lost sight of who she truly is.
More details regarding Plathville star Kim's arrest were posted on the Instagram account of withoutacrystalball. The post was captioned, "Kim Plath was so drunk on June 10, 2022, that she told police she didn’t know where she was or where the crash occurred. Kim was found inside her car, which was flipped upside down in a ditch. The car was filled with water and a witness helped pull her out. Police made contact with Kim when she was in the ambulance. They said she had a strong smell of alcohol, blood shot and droopy eyes, was slurring her words and lethargic." The source went on to explain that Kim's toxicology results were received on September 3, 2022, revealing her blood alcohol level was two times over the legal limit. A warrant was issued for her arrest last week, and she turned herself into the police in Wakulla County on October 20, 2022.
Kim Plath May Have Used Her Welcome To Plathville Family As A Bargaining Chip
It's no secret that Plathville's Kim wanted to escape her troubled past that was riddled with regret and shame. She has spoken out on Welcome to Plathville about the difficulty she faced growing up watching her mother battle alcoholism. Kim has also shared the personal struggles she experienced as a young adult exposing herself to dangerous situations in her college years while under the influence of alcohol. It wasn't until she met Barry Plath that she turned her life around, got married, and began raising a family. Focusing on cultivating her marriage and caring for her children shifted her focus and her priorities; this was more than enough motivation to leave the carefree nights and partying behind her.
After spending the majority of her life tending to her family, Kim, who's obsessed with changing her life, felt her dreams and ambitions were lost along the way. After 24 years of marriage, she realized that she no longer felt appreciated, loved, or cared for by Barry. Kim also felt that she had poured so much of her energy into her children's lives that she had lost her own identity in her day-to-day responsibilities. That is when she decided to start living life without restraint and investing in herself again. Kim decided to open her own dance studio, end her marriage to Barry, and loosen the reigns on her strict conservative views. Her sudden personality shift has left some Welcome to Plathville viewers thinking she is the ultimate hypocrite. One fan commented on the post, "I hate to say it, but it's good to see the consequences of her actions, especially not dealing honestly with the addiction issues in her life."
Now that Kim, whose midlife crisis is changing Plathville, had a taste of freedom, it may have her going back to her old ways. If this is the case, it looks like Kim is recognizing the pattern of her detrimental behavior. Turning herself into the custody of the police may be Kim's attempt at getting the help she needs to get her life back on track. While some Welcome to Plathville fans find her behavior appalling, others hope this incident is the wake-up call she desperately needs.
