NEED TO KNOW
- Veronica Peters found herself being blamed in the aftermath of a bloody argument between Micah and Isaac Plath on the Sept. 23 episode of Welcome to Plathville
- The brothers got into an altercation that left Micah needing stitches in his nose
- During a family discussion the next day, mom Kim Plath and eldest son Ethan Plath went up against Veronica, accusing her of disrespecting the family
Micah Plath hit his breaking point — literally and figuratively — in the latest episode of Welcome to Plathville.
Tension surrounding Lydia’s marriage to Zac Wyse and the family’s ongoing feud with Micah’s girlfriend, Veronica Peters, led to a bloody ending to the night. After Veronica left the wedding early and her messages to Micah went unanswered, she discovered that he had been injured during an altercation with his brother Isaac.
“I woke up at 1:00 am in the hotel, and I got a text from Micah: ‘Hey babe, I was in the hospital,’” Veronica told cameras. “‘I got some stitches. Isaac attacked me over you.’”
“I’m very confused as to how I caused the fight that put Micah, my boyfriend, in the hospital when I was asleep three towns over peacefully,” she continued. “I caused no ruckus that day.”
As she walked through the house, Veronica noticed blood on the floor, the bathroom rug and all over Micah’s shirt. He then explained that he “started talking back” to Isaac in defense of Veronica — who was not on good terms with several members of the Plath family — when a fight broke out.
“Clearly something happened last night, as my face kind of explains,” Micah said. “I told him he used to respect my girlfriend, and just a lot of feelings going on. [It] started as, I thought, it was going to be a play fight. I was going to lay him on his back and he didn’t take too kindly to that. It was the chance or an opening for him to get his anger out.”
Isaac shared a similar account, claiming Micah hit him first and things got out of hand before he could realize how badly Micah was hurt.
“We both hit each other in the face, so it was kind of fair,” he admitted. “I guess the elbow is just a little bit harder than the fist. That’s why I didn’t need any stitches or anything.”
Micah, whose nose was stitched up after being split down the center, went on to share that Isaac was angry at him for not “standing up for my family.”
“The underlying issue is the way Veronica’s disrespecting my family,” he went on to say. “That’s kind of what everyone has an issue with. Veronica has literally said insanely nasty things about every single family member.”
Matriarch Kim Plath decided to gather everyone into the living room, where Veronica came face-to-face with Ethan Plath and his girlfriend Teegan Nichols — who she previously alleged had nude photos on an OnlyFans account despite Teegan’s denials — as well as Isaac and his girlfriend.
“I would love it if this is all a misunderstanding and we can just get past it, clear it up and move on,” Kim said. “But also, I really want to get to the truth about what Veronica’s been saying and why.”
Isaac began by apologizing to Micah before Ethan chimed in, accusing Veronica of being at the root of the brothers’ problems.
“Everything that happened last night with you, the feelings that were there were there for other reasons, and those are valid,” Ethan told Isaac. “So I feel like we’ll probably make more progress by talking about what’s been pent up inside than by the actual kerfuffle last night.”

“When Micah body slammed Isaac, that started the physical fight,” he added, looking at Veronica: “Everything that was emotional, that fueled the fight from that point on for the next hour, was you.”
“I can’t believe they’re blaming me, but it is so up their alley,” Veronica quipped. “They have to deflect. This family is big into deflecting and they need to properly process their emotions, but they don’t. They put it on other people with blame and attacking people. I did not control the arms of these two men.”
Isaac acknowledged that he had to “take responsibility” for his part in the argument but maintained that Veronica’s behavior was what led to his anger.
“She did name-call to our girlfriends, which she knew would be like our weak pointer, the thing that would upset us the most,” he said, referring to Veronica calling his girlfriend, who she claimed she mistook for Teegan, a “slut.”
“If you poke and prod somebody long enough, they’re going to come to a breaking point, and that’s where she put me.”
The conversation then turned to Veronica’s dynamic with Kim, who slammed her for talking about her behind her back.
“I liked her at the beginning, but I knew she was just using me for certain things,” Veronica said of Kim. “She would call me asking for favors all the time, emotional support. She always needed something from me. It was a very transactional relationship.”
“I’ve called Kimberly a snake,” she confessed. “She is a snake. I stand firm with that.”
Meanwhile, Kim compared Veronica to Ethan’s ex-wife, Olivia Plath, whose negative relationship with the family led to their divorce.
“I really was giving [Veronica] the benefit of the doubt and I was trying to be nice,” Kim shared. “But I’m sorry. If she’s calling me a snake behind my back, yeah, we’re not doing this. Somebody that’s nice to your face and calls you a snake behind your back, I’d say it’s a two-faced bitch.”
In the end, Micah took his family’s side. “I do feel sorry that I haven’t stood up more and told you to shut up about my family sometimes, because it’s not your business,” he declared.
