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.
