'Golden Bachelor' Gerry Turner Accused of Misleading Runner-Up and Lying About Dating History

Despite Controversy, Turner and Theresa Nist Set to Marry in Televised Ceremony on January 4, 2024

Gerry Turner, the 72-year-old lead of 'The Golden Bachelor', has been accused of misleading runner-up Leslie Fhima by making future plans with her off-camera, leading her to believe she was his chosen partner.
Turner ended his relationship with Fhima hours before proposing to Theresa Nist, leaving Fhima feeling blindsided and without closure.
Turner has also admitted to lying about his dating history following his wife's death in 2017, revealing he had dated a number of women.
A woman named Carolyn alleged that Turner ended their relationship when she gained weight, and forced her to move out of his home.
Despite the controversy, Turner and Nist are planning to marry in a televised ceremony on January 4, 2024.
