On Welcome to Plathville, Lydia has been rubbing viewers the wrong way as of late, mainly due to her need to be perfect. Lydia is the most obedient out of all of the Plath children, but fans feel that she has too much power. Now, Lydia is getting some backlash, as viewers who watched recent episodes believe that she thinks she is better than her family.
The 18-year-old is having one heck of a year, which has included being able to wear pants, start an Instagram account, and even release some of her gospel music. Lydia used to garner a lot of sympathy from viewers. who felt that Kim and Barry Plath were using her. The third-oldest daughter could often be seen performing the daily chores, cooking the meals, and even teaching her younger sisters. However, as the reasons have rolled on, viewers are starting to wonder about Lydia's moral compass.
There is no doubt that the Welcome to Plathville star loves Jesus. as she often posts about Christianity on her social media. However, a lot of fans think that she's taking her pious lifestyle too far, to the point that it's hindering her ability to see the truth. In recent episodes, Lydia has come off as holier than thou, especially to her relatives. For example, when Moriah Plath tried to talk about her breakup, all Lydia could think about was maintaining her friendship with Moriah's ex, Max Kallschmidt. The fact that she wants her world to be a perfect place affects others around her in negative ways sometimes.
In the newest episode, fans saw Lydia and her mother sit down for a serious discussion about Kim and Barry's divorce. Instead of lending an ear or supporting her mom, Lydia proceeded to tell Kim that she wasn't trying hard enough to let the Holy Spirit heal her. Lydia acts as if she has never sinned in her entire life. The devout Plath daughter has really gotten on viewers' nerves, and many of the series' fans are wishing that she would put the Bible down and see things as they really are.
Lydia's storyline has been prominent on Welcome to Plathville season 4, as she basically has taken over the Plath household since Kim's departure. The aspiring singer has also been releasing her gospel music in the hopes of hitting the big time. Sadly, it doesn't seem like she is aware that she is tone-deaf. For now, Lydia will keep believing that she is perfect in every way, but followers think that her bubble may be about to burst.
