Welcome To Plathville: Clues Moriah Plath Won’t Return For Season 7 (Is Her Boyfriend Matthew Craven To Blame?)
There are signs that Welcome to Plathville star Moriah Plath won’t return for season 7, and her boyfriend Matthew Craven may be to blame. Moriah first appeared in Welcome to Plathville season 1 when she was only 16 years old. The now 22-year-old is the second-oldest Plath daughter, and the fourth-oldest Plath child. Viewers have watched Moriah carve out her own identity over the years, and she is no doubt the most rebellious and alternative member of the Plath family. Despite her differences, Moriah is close with all her family members.
Welcome to Plathville premiered in 2019, and Welcome to Plathville season 6 finished airing in early October 2024. In season 6, Moriah introduced that she was fresh off of a devastating heartbreak, and that she moved from her own apartment in Tampa, Florida, back to her father Barry Plath’s Cairo, Georgia, home. As the season went on, Moriah’s family put her ex, identified after the season as Tampa-based musician Matthew Craven, on blast for his poor treatment of Moriah, toxic relationship traits, and involvement with another woman whom he had a child with while he was with Moriah.
Moriah Has Been Criticized By Viewers
During the Welcome to Plathville season 6 finale, Moriah said she and Matthew reconnected and that everything that happened made sense and that they were seeing each other again. She ditched her family to spend time with Matthew in his car, and her family came looking for her after they found out she got back with Matthew.
Moriah has proven herself to be a sensitive individual, and she pours her heart out via song and speaks on her vulnerabilities during interviews and with her family.
Moriah has been chastized online for her relationship with Matthew. And if they are still together, she likely won’t want to face future heat for it in the public eye by doing another season where she has to explain her problematic relationship. One Reddit thread created by u/bethgrace96 opened the floor for viewer thoughts on Moriah’s boyfriend and her move to get back with him.
“Well Moriah can’t singer either so her getting with this dude is par for the course..she got all this attention during this last season now she’s bored and runs back so she again can cry “poor me” and get a storyline.”
There were other Redditors who called Matthew a “joke” and a “clout chaser,” and they criticized Moriah’s poor judgment. Were Moriah to appear in another season of Welcome to Plathville, she would be under some serious online heat.
Moriah Won’t Want To Be Judged For Matthew Craven Relationship
TLC personality Moriah likely knows how bad her relationship came across to viewers the entire season, and it can only get worse were more of the pitfalls of her connection put out there. Moriah will have to weigh the benefits of continuing with the show versus the heavy blowback she will get for continuing her relationship with Matthew.
Moriah could be used to sharing the good, bad, and the ugly of her personal life, but the degree to which Welcome to Plathville fans and her own family are against her relationship could be cause for Moriah’s concern.
Moriah Can Focus On Her Music Career
If Moriah takes a step back from Welcome to Plathville, she can focus on her music career, which has not taken off as a result of the show. Moriah can implore more strategies to help her music go viral while not having her relationship with Matthew take center stage were she to do another season. Moriah is serious about her music career, and that could be her main focus while not participating in the show.
Welcome To Plathville Needs Moriah On The Show
While Moriah may not entertain another season under scrutiny due to her relationship with Matthew, Welcome to Plathville needs Moriah on the show. Moriah has had heavy storylines every season, and since her on and off again connection with Matthew has high entertainment value, season 7 would need her and her narrative to be more interesting. However, Matthew has been painted as a controlling partner who has historically tried to isolate Moriah.
That said, there is potential for Matthew to tell Moriah she can’t continue with the show, especially since he has gotten a very negative rap. If Moriah has called things off with Matthew, she might have the freedom to stay a part of the hit show, but time will tell if that’s the case. Welcome to Plathville season 7 has not been confirmed yet, but the show’s popularity indicates it’s likely to happen, and Moriah needs to be a part of it for the show to survive.
