Gerry Turner, the original "Golden Bachelor", has a new book out that delves into his side of the infamous breakup with Theresa Nist. In his memoir, "Golden Years: What I've Learned from Love, Loss, and Reality TV," Turner shares his unfiltered thoughts on their whirlwind romance, which lasted only three months before ending in divorce.
According to Gerry, he had been having doubts about marrying Theresa before they tied the knot, but ultimately decided to go through with it. However, as time went on, he began to realize that she was not the right person for him. Turner claims that Theresa's inability to commit to retiring and her expensive spending habits were major red flags.
The book also reveals some juicy details about Turner's past relationship. In one instance, Gerry admits to being the easiest person to manipulate in their conversations, and he recalls a tense moment where Kathy Swarts told Theresa to "zip it" after she overshared.
However, not everything is rosy between Turner and his former fiancée. When asked if he was worried that people would perceive his book as mean-spirited, Gerry replied, "I'm sorry you see it that way... I really believed he loved me but clearly he had me fooled."
Theresa Nist has released a statement in response to the book, saying she is disappointed and feels betrayed by Turner's portrayal of their relationship. She claims that none of his statements about her are accurate and that she took the high road after their breakup.
Despite the controversy, Gerry seems to be taking the criticism in stride. He has moved on to a new engagement with Lana Sutton and appears to be enjoying his newfound freedom. When asked if he learned any lessons from his past relationship, Turner quipped, "We are enjoying each other's time, enjoying each other's touch, and opinions, and humor so much, that I guess lessons isn't exactly something we've thought about."
Turner's book is now available at all major book retailers and online. While it may have sparked some controversy, it's clear that he has finally found the courage to tell his side of the story.

I mean, I've been waiting for this book release for ages! The juicy details about their whirlwind romance and divorce are EVERYTHING 
. I'm loving how honest he's being about his doubts and feelings during that time - it's like you're reading a true reality TV show 
.
. You can tell she was expecting some backlash from Gerry's book, but I'm curious to see how the public reacts now. Will people take his side or are they gonna stick up for Theresa? 
Either way, this is definitely a juicy celebrity scandal that's keeping me on the edge of my seat 
.
. I love how he's moving on to new adventures with Lana Sutton 
. Can't wait to dive into his book and get all the deets! 
did you know that avocados are actually a great source of sustainable energy? like, have you seen those fancy farms in california where they grow them using like, minimal water and stuff? its crazy how one food can be so good for the planet 
i swear, im never buying regular bread again 
and I'm SHOOK! He opens up about all the red flags in their relationship and how he realized Theresa wasn't the right fit for him #TeamGerry 
But, tbh, his writing style is kinda messy 
still trying to process everything. On the bright side, it's clear he learned from his past and is moving on with Lana Sutton 
. Can't wait to read more about their new relationship! 
gotta say, gerry turner's got some serious guts for sharing his side of things about theresa nist. i feel bad for her though, it sounds like she was really hurt by his portrayal... but at the same time, i can kinda see why he'd want to tell his story and clear the air 
Lana seems like a nice girl tho, hope they're happy together 
anyway, i guess it's all just part of the juicy gossip that is reality TV history
