Is Lydia Plath really living her best life in Colorado, or is she running from the family drama that made her famous? The 22-year-old reality TV darling just felt the need to publicly defend her marriage on Instagram, and honey, we are LIVING for this messy energy.
After making the bold move to the mountains with her husband Zac Wyse, Lydia apparently couldn’t ignore the whispers and shade being thrown her way. On Wednesday, June 3rd, she took to Instagram with a video of herself frolicking through Colorado peaks to drop a not-so-subtle message: “My husband didn’t ‘take me away from my family.’ He brought…” Well, the caption got cut off, but the tea was already steaming hot.
Sources close to the Plath family have been circulating rumors that Zac, in true husband fashion, allegedly isolated Lydia from her reality TV empire and her notoriously controlling family. But Lydia’s having NONE of that narrative, sweetie. She’s out here defending her man like a true wifey, claiming he’s actually the hero in her story, not the villain everyone’s painting him as.
The irony? Lydia literally became famous because of her family’s strict, restrictive lifestyle on TLC’s “Welcome to Plathville.” Now that she’s allegedly found freedom with Zac, everyone’s acting shocked—shocked!—that she’s not stuck to her family’s hip anymore. Make it make sense!
Fans are completely divided on this one. Some are applauding Lydia for breaking free from what they call an oppressive family dynamic, while others think she’s being completely ungrateful to the people who gave her a platform. The comment sections are absolutely UNHINGED with theories about whether Zac is a prince or a controlling manipulator in disguise.
What’s particularly delicious is that Lydia felt compelled to address this at all. If the rumors weren’t bothering her, would she really need to post that video? Just saying, the lady doth protest too much! But also, we respect the energy of a young woman standing up for her marriage choices and her right to live her own life.
The Plath family drama continues to be absolutely bonkers, and we cannot wait to see how this unfolds. Will Lydia return for more reality TV? Will she completely ghost her family? Only time will tell, darling.
What do you think? A) Zac is a supportive husband helping Lydia escape a controlling family B) Zac isolated Lydia and she’s in denial about it
