Gerry Turner’s Memoir Reveals Suicidal Thoughts as Theresa Nist Disputes His Account

The book revives scrutiny of their short marriage, prompting a detailed rebuttal from Nist.

Overview

  • Turner writes that he experienced fleeting suicidal thoughts during the public backlash after his three‑month marriage to Nist ended in 2024, a disclosure published in advance excerpts.
  • The memoir recounts alleged early marital distance, including Turner’s claim that Nist asked him to sleep on her sofa during his first post‑wedding visit to New Jersey.
  • Nist publicly rejects multiple episodes in the book as inaccurate, saying he offered to sleep on the couch and arguing he should have called off a wedding he doubted.
  • Turner describes broader incompatibilities over where to live, lifestyle and a prenup, and in interviews calls the marriage a mistake that unraveled through many small conflicts.
  • Recent context in coverage notes Turner’s December 2024 bone‑marrow cancer diagnosis and his October 2025 engagement to Lana Sutton.
