Despite initially Gerry Turner having no issues with moving toTheresa Nist‘s hometown of New Jersey, where she works as a day trader, the reality TV star never followed through with his plan to leave his home city of Indiana. This particular incident led fans to believe that all of Turner’s promises were actually a lie. Thereafter, Turner’s lack of suffering signs after his heartbreaking split from Nist led fans to look even more closely into the star’s authenticity.
It turned out that in the past few months since his divorce, Gerry Turner has not stopped grinning from ear to ear in different pictures with younger women—whether they’re fans ofThe Golden Bacheloror his friends. Thereafter, fans speculated that perhaps Turner used Theresa Nist to be in the spotlight asThe Golden Bachelor.

Although Gerry Turner had successfully charmed the hearts of millions, claiming to be ready to love Theresa Nist after losing his wife, Toni, in 2017, his strategic divorce before the wedding bells barely faded, leading fans to question his intentions.

But hold on, because the drama got juicier after Gerry Turner’s ex-girlfriend (who refused to be named), entered the spotlight. Apparently, the reality TV star had previously claimed how he was unable to re-enter the dating world after the death of his beloved wife, Toni. Turner had become a hugely compelling character after he toldEW, “I mean, I haven’t dated in 45 years”.
However, this sympathy-seeking masterplan was openly debunked after his unnamed ex-girlfriend spoke withTHRin an eye-opening interview. Taking center stage toreveal some not-so-glamorous truthsabout the golden bachelor, his ex-girlfriend painted a picture of a man, not quite the hero he portrayed himself to be. According to the unnamed woman, Turner’s tales of woe and struggle after widowhood were, well, a tad exaggerated.

Damn, I go to bed at night thinking of you and wake up in the morning thinking of you.Turner had apparently texted the unnamed woman less than 3 months after Toni’s demise.
Well, it seems Gerry Turner has a threshold of three months to mourn over anything—whether it’s his divorce or his wife’s demise. Therefore, while Turner basked in sympathy and support, his ex-girlfriend’s revelations about how they had dated for three years and even lived together for over a year— peeled back the layers of the reality TV star’s golden facade.
