WhileThe Golden Bachelorhas been long over, Gerry Turner is still finding reasons to be annoyed with Theresa Nist, andhis passive-aggressive behavior proves he doesn’t wish her well. Gerry, who joinedThe Golden Bachelorseason 1as one of the firstBachelorleads not to come from a previous iteration of the franchise in decades, was the charismatic lead to the first season of the series. While many were excited to watch Gerry search for love after getting to know the seemingly sweet, funny widower, his time asThe Golden BachelorchangedBachelorNation’s perception of him entirely.
Though Gerry came across as a sweet, humble guy who was really looking for the next love of his life, he wasn’t able to keep up the facade after he was finished filming the series. Gerry’s behavior throughoutThe Golden Bachelorseason 1 was so on-brand and specific that learning he wasn’t who he’d seemed to be on screen was tough forBachelorNation. Even without solid proof, whenBachelorNation learned thatGerry had been lying about not datingafter his wife died, things began to come crashing down.The Golden Bachelorstar scrambled to save his newfound reputation.
Unfortunately, Gerry wasn’t able to save things for long. Though he married Theresa in a live TV wedding special and continued to ignore the allegations coming from his ex-girlfriend, who alleged that he’d treated her poorly throughout their relationship, it became difficult to contend with the press. Gerry and Theresa’s wedding was in early January, but quickly thereafter, it became clear there was trouble inGoldenparadise. After three months of marriage,Gerry and Theresa announced their divorce, sharing that they simply couldn’t make their marriage work.
