Overview
- In his new book, Turner writes that he called Nist on April 25, 2024 to share that he was likely facing cancer and says she never followed up, which he describes as painful.
- Nist counters on the Dear Shandy podcast that she learned of his health issues well before that call and says he presented the situation as not urgent.
- Turner publicly disclosed his Waldenström's macroglobulinemia in December 2024, and accounts now highlight differing timelines for when a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
- Nist also recounts a disturbing remark she says Turner made during their marriage about hiding her body, adding that she did not believe he was literally serious.
- Coverage notes additional disputes over prenuptial and finance claims from the memoir, reports that fellow contestants checked on Turner, and reports that he is engaged to Lana Sutton.
