‘Golden Bachelor’s Theresa Nist Fires Back at Gerry Turner’s Claims She Rejected Intimacy

Gerry Turner made a number of shocking claims about his ex-wife, Theresa Nist, in his book, Golden Years: What I’ve Learned from Love, Loss, and Reality TV, but perhaps most surprising was his recollection of the first time he visited her in New Jersey after they had already tied the knot.

In the memoir, Turner claimed that Nist denied his attempts at physical intimacy and even made him sleep on the couch during his three-night stay, but she shared a different version of events on the Dear Shandy podcast.
