Reality stars come and go, but 72-year-old Gerry Turner has made a name for himself on the new dating show “The Golden Bachelor.” His sudden fame has also allegedly made him stuck-up and bigheaded, according to sources. The retired so-called restauranteur has benefited from the show, but his friends complain about his newfound snooty behavior.
Not just his hometown friends, but also his former on-screen suitors and fans, have criticized Gerry for his actions during the show. Many speculate that dating 22 women at once has brought out the worst in him. Amidst the controversy, sources say that Gerry proposed to the winner, Theresa Nist, during the season finale. However, he later faced backlash for allegedly lying about his life story, leading to a negative piece in The Hollywood Reporter.
In response to the accusations, Gerry assured that he is happy with his current relationship and doesn’t have time to reflect on negative comments. Despite the allegations, it seems Gerry is focused on what’s ahead.
