Max Kallschmidt from Welcome to Plathville took to Instagram to defend himself against fans who didn't like his comments about the way that Moriah dresses. In his lengthy post, Max explained that he was wrong to make those remarks. While he admitted to a lapse in judgment, he continues to believe that some women dress the way they do for the wrong reasons. This caused some fans to question his understanding of the situation. However, other people are definitely on his side. They don't think he should have had to apologize in the first place.
Max ruffled fans’ feathers during Welcome to Plathville season 3 episode 6, when he brought up Moriah’s revealing clothing choices. Max suggested that Moriah’s “skimpier clothes” caused her to get more attention from other men, making the analogy, “Why are you advertising what’s not for sale?” He also wondered if her confidence came from showing her body to others. Moriah pushed back, saying that she used clothing as a way to express herself. Max, who has changed since season 2, countered that there is a difference between style and trying to look, “busty for other guys.” He strongly implied that Moriah dresses for other men.
His girlfriend explained that since her wardrobe was previously controlled by the ultra-conservative Plath family, experimenting with fashion makes her feel free. It makes sense that Moriah loves edgy clothing, colorful hair dye, and tattoos, as she was forced to dress modestly until she branched out from Kim and Barry Plath. In the end, Max thanked Moriah for sharing her viewpoint. He apologized for his perception of the situation.
Max Kallschmidt Held Himself Accountable
Max’s Instagram post showed that he knows he was wrong. He now realizes that Moriah is not to blame for his insecurities. Several Welcome to Plathville fans supported Max and praised him for admitting to his own wrongdoing. One commenter said, “This is really insightful. I applaud you!” Another remarked, “Good for you for being willing to listen and learn and admit you were wrong instead of getting defensive!” Followers appreciated the fact that Max would say sorry in front of his followers, as that's a very public way to show remorse. Overall, few viewers doubt that Max loves Moriah, even though he may need to change his thinking even more in order to keep her happy
Max Kallschmidt Is Still Getting Dragged
The Welcome to Plathville star's detractors were not satisfied with his apology. In his Instagram post, the usually sweet Max said he believes some girls dress for “attention, other people’s approval, and yes – even for other guys outside of their relationship because they aren’t getting what they need out of their current relationship.” This portion of his post came off as misogynistic to some followers, who think he still has a lot to learn. Wanting Moriah to dress a certain way seemed a bit controlling to some onlookers, but others felt that he was just being a protective and caring partner.
Most fans agreed that Max and Moriah worked through this conversation in a very mature and admirable way. Their communication skills seem better than Ethan and Olivia Plath's, whose rocky relationship is a focus on Welcome to Plathville season 3. Viewers are rooting for Max and Moriah’s relationship to last, while many think that Ethan and Olivia would be happier apart. For now, Max and Moriah seem to be getting along well and working through any issues that crop up in their relationship. That bodes well for their future, and there is the possibility that Max and Moriah are a forever match.
