Gerry Turner Says Theresa Nist Broke Post‑Divorce Pact as Book Battle Intensifies

Turner’s new book has turned their short‑lived TV marriage into a high‑profile dispute with lingering fallout for the franchise.

Overview

  • On the I Do, Part 2 podcast, Turner said he felt "quite a bit of betrayal" after Nist posted her own statement despite an agreement to avoid unilateral comments following their April 2024 split.
  • Nist, in a Dear Shandy interview, alleged Turner once made a grim remark during a walk near Pretty Lake; Turner later told TMZ the claim was "preposterous," and Nist said she did not think he would act on it.
  • Turner’s memoir asserts Nist never checked in after he told her in late April 2024 he likely faced cancer, while Nist says she already knew and that he downplayed the seriousness; he has publicly disclosed Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, which is currently slow-growing.
  • The memoir also revisits how their relationship formed on the show, as Turner promotes the release while now engaged to Lana Sutton and with his Indiana lake house under a contingent offer, per Realtor.com via Us Weekly.
  • Coverage of their dispute is dominating attention around the franchise, with a report from SheKnows citing unnamed network sources unhappy that the feud is overshadowing the current season.
