After damaging his reputation, The Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner is being excluded from an upcoming Golden Bachelor reunion dinner. The Golden Bachelor, the first of its kind, introduced singles in their golden years searching for love, and after the loss of his late wife Toni Turner, Gerry seemed to have found love again with Theresa Nist. However, both Gerry and Theresa decided to divorce not long after getting married. This decision along with other factors led to Gerry’s damaged reputation, which seemed to get worse over time, no matter how much he tried to improve it.
The Golden Bachelor contestant Susan Noles shared the news that Gerry Turner would not be in attendance at a reunion dinner she was planning.
In an article from Us Weekly, Susan Noles revealed that she will be hosting a special dinner soon that includes Gerry’s daughters and Joan Vassos. She went on to reveal that she did contact Gerry and told him about the dinner, which he wanted to attend. “He wanted to. I said, ‘No men allowed," she jokingly stated. Susan seemed to have a good relationship with Gerry and his daughters, despite the backlash that he had faced. She has also maintained a good relationship with Theresa and has continued to nurture her friendships with them both.
The Golden Bachelor Women Still Talk To Each Other After Gerry’s Rejections
Gerry Has Lied About His Dating History
Susan acknowledged she also keeps in contact with Theresa. “I talked to her about a week or 10 days ago,” she stated. The two women became close friends while vying for Gerry's heart in The Golden Bachelor season 1. Although they didn’t find lasting love, the women found long-lasting friendships. Susan expressed that she had reunited with several of the women in a surprise popup in New York. “They were in New York and I happened to be there for a different reason and I knew they were in Times Square at Carmine’s and I surprised them," she revealed.
Gerry’s reputation over the past several months has taken a nosedive. Gerry faced accusations of flaunting his love life after his divorce from Theresa as he bragged about multiple women being interested in him. It was exposed that Gerry had lied about his previous relationship status before his Golden Bachelor appearance, and it was revealed that he had been in relationships after the loss of his wife. Gerry’s lies and his personality after the show have led to him receiving backlash and criticism online for ruining The Golden Bachelor's image.
As Joan Vassos gears up for her Golden Bachelorette debut, Gerry Turner is still trying to repair his tainted reputation. In a matter of months, Gerry saw himself being the most criticized and despised man in Bachelor Nation. His search for love only led him to open his world up to social media backlash and public scrutiny. Hopefully, going forward, The Golden Bachelor star will be able to repair his reputation in the eyes of the public and forge a new path forward.
