The Tuesday, August 19, episode of Welcome to Plathville featured an explosive fight between Micah Plath and girlfriend Veronica Peters. The fight stemmed from Veronica’s growing frustration with Micah after he wouldn’t come to her defense in front of his family.

“This has been brewing inside for months,” Veronica ranted. “I had to smile and pretend it’s all okay at [Lydia Plath‘s] proposal, where I’m not wanted, don’t want to be there. I felt attacked, and I’m supposed to sit there, smile, and be pretty and be like, ‘Oh, nothing’s wrong.’ No, that’s not true. That’s not the reality of things. That’s not my life. And I’m tired of shrinking and minimizing myself for people that do not value who I am as a person.”
