Micah Plath’s girlfriend, Veronica Peters, dropped a bombshell during the latest episode of Welcome to Plathville.
“Micah has cheated on me several times,” Veronica alleged during the Tuesday, July 29, episode of the TLC series. “I hate his behavior. I’ve denied it all. I’ve made a united front. I lied to people. I protect[ed] you. When I knew the truth.”
She continued, “I was more scared about the truth coming out because it would hurt you. And I put myself aside and my pride and backed him and blamed myself.”
Veronica’s bombshell confession came after she was asked how her relationship with Micah was going.
“I feel like the only thing we fight about is I don’t want to be around the family anymore,” she said.
Veronica alleged that she reached out to Micah’s family “countless” times, but they hadn’t done the same. (Veronica’s issues with the Plaths stem from Moriah Plath. When Moriah, 22, briefly got back together with her toxic ex-boyfriend, Veronica was put in the middle and accused of stirring the pot, when she was supporting Moriah.)
“There’s been things on both sides. It’s been a heated thing,” Micah, 24, said, referring to his family icing out Veronica and her causing a bigger wedge between him and them.
Veronica, meanwhile, said that she felt betrayed by Moriah based on the timing of their fight, revealing, “She knows what I was going through when she treated me like that.”
A visibly upset Veronica grew frustrated when Micah didn’t back her up, noting that he knew why she was “upset” by everything that transpired.
“I’d back you when you hurt me. You don’t care. You care about yourself,” she claimed. “I have backed you. When you have done the most selfish [thing], I have backed you.”
After revealing Micah had been unfaithful, Veronica alleged that “Moriah knew about” his transgression, adding that despite being in the know she “still blocked me through this hell.”
Veronica, who was in tears, then turned to Micah and claimed, “And you don’t care.”
The episode ended with Veronica crying on the couch as Micah sat beside her without a word. TLC confirmed to Us Weekly that Micah will share his side of the story next week.
