Olivia Plath Looking back on their marriage to Ethan Plath.

On one Long Instagram post On Monday, March 24, the reality star offered a look at what is said to continue “behind closed doors” while she was married to her NU-Ex-husband.

Two years after she said she decided to start the process of Application for divorceOlivia thanked her fans for their “love and encouragement.”

“It was really the best decision for me and I have received countless messages from other women who say to see me go away and choose better for myself gave them the courage to leave their situation,” she wrote. “I am very moved. If you are, know that you are united in the spirit of the countless other women who also discovered their value, fought for it and came out on the other side.”

“I would also like to take a moment to highlight the internal misogyny that is so deeply intervened in our social sessions,” she continued. “Many people assume that because my relationship was on television, they know every detail about what happened even behind closed doors when cameras were not nearby.”

“They cannot understand that perhaps systems, networks or individuals would hide extremely problematic behavior so that they are not interrupted. They also cannot understand that I may not or do not have power or legal approval to reveal or even tell the unfiltered truth about what * I * experienced, unfortunately.” She added.

Olivia officially applied for divorce in February 2023, one year after she and Ethan separated. Their entire five-year marriage and aftermath of their split-have been documented on TLC’s Welcome to Plathville.

Olivia revealed that she has not gone in detail about her marriage because she “calculates” the restrictions in an agreement on non-disclosure while it “still unpacks and finds terminology for what I experienced.”

“Another reason is because of the nasty messages from the fans of the family who think I would make accusations and lie about DV (home violence),” she added. “I have been called every name under the sun, told me that I would do myself, that it is just like a woman to try to destroy a man’s reputation etc.”

People have reached TLC and a representative of Ethan for comments.

Olivia went on to say that it is “obviously not ok to be a bullying”, especially when it can deter people from talking about their experiences.

“One thing I have learned: It doesn’t matter what you go through as a woman, you will never be a good enough victim to the public,” shared Olivia. “Another thing I have learned: Women who talk about abuse or DV do not destroy a man’s reputation. If it was true, we would not have a convicted criminal for president. Women are not guilty abuse or men silence to protect them from review, liability or discomfort.”

Later, Olivia wrote that “I don’t have to be a victim” and insisted that it was not the intention of her post. Rather, she said she hoped to be able to show other women that they are not alone.

“Deconstructing the patriarchy has shown me how many women are silenced or stay in unhealthy environments because they think they don’t deserve better. They won’t be better. He can be better,” she explained. “Their identity has been packed by being submissive, pleasant, forgiving, etc. My DM has confirmed this also 😞.”

“20 -year -old I didn’t know my value,” she admitted. “She exceeded because she was afraid to hear that she was not trying hard enough. She thought she could convince someone to love and choose her but it would always be meaningless and make her insecure, emotionally unstable and have controlling tendencies.”

“26 -year -old I know her worth,” Olivia confirmed. “She can discern what her role is in a relationship, what is a conflict that can be resolved between two people willing to grow and what is worth going away from. She now knows that when someone does not choose her, she is better at choosing herself and walking away instead of trying to change or control the situation.”

“And I want the same thing for all other women,” the post ended. “There is obviously a lot to say about this topic, and many people are much more qualified to share than I am. There may also be gray areas in every situation is different. Everything I can share is my experience, when and it feels right for me or that I am allowed.”
