After reaping the fruits of his fame from The Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner might be secretly regretting how the show tarnished his real-life reputation. Considering how he appeared on the reality TV series as a perfect catch with a golden heart and ended up becoming a villain after the show ended, Turner undoubtedly turned bitter about his fame.
His recent actions on The Golden Bachelorette and his reduced social life have convinced people that Gerry Turner, who once enjoyed his onscreen fame, has reportedly gotten unhappy in the aftermath of his divorce from Theresa Nist. So much so that audiences believe that Turner is perhaps grieving his decision to ever appear on The Golden Bachelor.
Gerry Turner’s Behavior on The Golden Bachelorette Concerned Fans
It’s been only a year since Gerry Turner appeared on The Golden Bachelor as the hopeless romantic looking for a second chance at love and he already seems to be reeling in the aftermath of his reality TV fame. It is believed that the way the Bachelor Nation show tarnished his real-life reputation, made Turner regret his decision to chase after fame.
When 72-year-old Gerry Turner appeared as the first lead of ABC’s The Golden Bachelor, casting directors and producers of the show had received numerous applications from women from all over the US willing to be his perfect partner. However, on the show, he quickly hit it off with Theresa Nist, whom he married shortly after the show concluded.
However, their marriage didn’t last more than three months, and ever since Gerry Turner has been seemingly bitter about how his fame had turned him into a villain. After his divorce, Turner made notorious headlines accusing him of using the platform to exploit women for fame. This undoubtedly affected his psyche, which was visible during his appearance on The Golden Bachelorette.
When The Golden Bachelorette season 1 premiered, producers had hinted at Gerry Turner’s potential appearance on the show, as a guest. Later on, Bachelor Nation posted clips on YouTube that showed Turner’s rather irritable behavior. In one scene, Turner even appeared asking Joan Vassos to consider the fact that she won’t find her true love on the show.
Gerry Turner’s Silence on Social Media Might be a Sign of His Regret
Gerry Turner’s terrible advice for Joan Vassos (who previously appeared as a contestant on The Golden Bachelor) illustrated how bitter he still is about his time as the lead of his own reality TV show. But what seemed even more suspicious was his lack of promotion about his appearance on The Golden Bachelorette.
Considering how he previously used to be super active on social media, often posting about all of his official Bachelor appearances, led people to wonder why he didn’t promote his appearance on Joan Vassos’ show. Therefore, apart from his inappropriate advice, Gerry Turner’s reduced social media activity concerned fans about him.
Perhaps his relative radio silence online—where his last Instagram post was almost two months ago—is one of the many signs that hint at his regret and unhappiness in the aftermath of his The Golden Bachelor fame. Maybe, he’s trying to forget about his time on ABC’s unscripted dating show.
Given how the show pulled off his mask and exposed his raw, naked self to the public—where his lies and manipulation came to the spotlight—it seems Gerry Turner presumably regrets his chase for fame.
The Golden Bachelor is currently available to watch on Hulu.
