The Golden Bachelor has been wildly well-liked since its debut again in September.

Gerry Turner rapidly turned a fan-favorite Bachelor star, with girls pining over his attractiveness, allure, and the way he cared concerning the emotions of the ladies vying for his closing rose.
He continued to be wildly well-liked — till a number of weeks in the past — when Gerry made some seemingly unhealthy decisions together with his unfastened use of the “L” phrase.

It even began a debate concerning the “L” phrase on the present and when it was applicable to make use of.
But now there’s a good larger scandal brewing forward of finale night time, and it’s undoubtedly going to place a bitter style in lots of viewers’ mouths.
Gerry Turner placed on blast by former girlfriend
Week after week, we hear about Gerry’s late spouse Toni, and the way a lot he cherished her. He typically talks about their deep connection, the ache of her dying, and his plans to maneuver on now that he’s on the present.
But it appears he already tried to maneuver on years in the past, actually weeks after Toni’s dying.
If that’s not stunning sufficient, the way in which their relationship ended — at the very least in response to this ex-girlfriend — may have The Golden Bachelor followers giving Gerry some main side-eye.
Ahead of finale night time, The Hollywood Reporter dropped a bomb — Gerry Turner may not be such a pleasant man in spite of everything.
The approach that Gerry has been framed on The Golden Bachelor makes it seem to be he’s been single since his spouse died, however he’s clearly been again within the courting pool and with multiple lady. That is a stark distinction from Gerry’s admission that he had one kiss following Toni’s dying and earlier than occurring the present.
The first one to this point Gerry following Toni’s dying is a girl who glided by Carolyn (not her actual identify to guard her id). She claims that she and Gerry had been collectively for 3 years – courting for ten months earlier than she moved in with him.
They met inside weeks of Toni’s dying, and inside only a few months, Gerry pursued her romantically, sending more and more amorous textual content messages as their relationship developed.
Their relationship didn’t finish effectively after she claims Gerry weight-shamed her earlier than his highschool reunion in 2019 when Gerry stated to her: “I’m not taking you to the reunion wanting like that.”
The remark finally led to their breakup, and Gerry put “Carolyn” out of his dwelling earlier than 2020 started — even paying for her U-Haul.
That wasn’t the top of his courting profession previous to occurring The Golden Bachelor.
A buddy of Gerry’s informed The US Sun that he was considerably of a girls’ man and had dated a handful of girls earlier than becoming a member of the present. Again, this contrasts with the unhappy widower trope we’ve been fed all season.
Gerry Turner will select between Leslie Fhima and Theresa Nist on The Golden Bachelor finale
Gerry Turner will hand out his closing rose when The Golden Bachelor returns tomorrow for the season finale.
One would possibly marvel how his fortunate girl will really feel listening to about his relationship with “Carolyn” and the ugly finish to their three-year romance — particularly after all of the issues he’s stated on the present.
Either approach, Gerry is predicted to decide on Theresa or Leslie and suggest. As he has stated a number of instances now, he’s hoping this would be the final lady for him for the remainder of his life. We’ll simply have to attend and see about that.
