Nathan Meggs, the younger brother of Olivia Plath, has been a familiar face to fans of the show “Welcome to Plathville.” However, recent events have left TLC fans questioning whether he truly reflects who he appears to be on the surface. This has sparked discussions about his identity and whether it makes him a better person. Let’s delve into the details to understand what’s going on.
Fans of TLC’s “Welcome to Plathville” have become acquainted with Olivia Plath’s brother, Nathan Meggs. He was introduced when Moriah moved in with Ethan and Olivia in Tampa during Season 3. While some viewers thought they had a grasp on Nathan’s character, Season 5 has raised doubts about his authenticity.
As the show progresses, more members of Olivia Plath’s family have made appearances, indicating that she is still in contact with some of her siblings despite previous talk of estrangement. Similar to his sister, Nathan seemed content to distance himself from their super-religious upbringing and embrace personal freedom. However, a recent incident involving Nathan has left fans questioning their perception of him.
Nathan Meggs was arrested for DUI after attending Micah’s birthday celebration, resulting in a guilty plea and a reduced charge of Reckless Driving. This legal trouble surprised TLC fans, as Nathan maintains an Instagram page dedicated to his former girlfriend, who suffered severe injuries in a car accident. The page, which is private, contains numerous photos of Nathan with his ex-girlfriend. A screenshot of his profile was shared on Reddit, where a user expressed shock at the content. Nathan’s profile states, “Anti-LGBTQIA+. Pro-life. Pro JESUS.” It also mentions his disdain for “the sin” rather than individuals who may identify as more gender-fluid. Such views are reminiscent of those expressed by the Duggar family, which has faced similar controversies in the past.
In the comments section, some viewers speculated that Olivia Plath and her brother may not be exactly who they appear to be. Given Olivia’s own exploration of her sexuality, users pointed out that Nathan’s conservative bio raises questions about his true beliefs. One fan of the show expressed surprise that Olivia remains close to him, given her seemingly more liberal stance and potential support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Interestingly, despite the revelations about Nathan’s beliefs, most people refrained from harshly criticizing him. This may be because in recent episodes, fans witnessed Nathan comfortably wearing makeup applied by his sisters. This led some viewers to speculate that he might lean towards the LGBTQ+ spectrum. One community member even suggested that Nathan’s strong anti-LGBTQ+ stance could stem from internalized homophobia, stating, “That’s probably why it says it first… biggest haters and deniers are usually just hating who they are.”
As the show continues, fans will likely keep a close eye on Nathan Meggs and how his character further unfolds, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of his true identity and beliefs.
