Have you ever wondered if reality shows truly depict reality? Well, it seems like The Golden Bachelor may not be as genuine as it appears. A recent article by The Hollywood Reporter has shed light on the alleged discrepancies in the dating history of the show’s star, Gerry Turner.
The show presents Gerry as someone who has not had a significant relationship since the tragic passing of his wife. However, THR has spoken to Gerry’s ex, who goes by the name “Carolyn,” and her account challenges this narrative. According to Carolyn, she and Gerry were together for a remarkable three years, even living together at one point.
In a series of text messages obtained by THR, Gerry allegedly expressed his deep affection for Carolyn just months after his wife’s death. He wrote, “Damn, I go to bed at night thinking of you and wake up in the morning thinking of you.” This passionate declaration contradicts the image of Gerry grieving his late wife, as portrayed on The Golden Bachelor.
Gerry reportedly went even further, telling Carolyn, “You are the right woman for me. No need to look further.” However, their relationship took a sour turn when Gerry uninvited Carolyn from a reunion event after she gained weight in 2019. It is alleged that he bluntly stated, “I’m not taking you to the reunion looking like that.”
According to Carolyn, the breakup was a distressing experience. During the packing process, she claims to have fallen down the stairs in her state of emotional turmoil, resulting in a visit to the emergency room and foot surgery the following day. Shockingly, instead of showing concern, Gerry accused her of using the fall as an excuse to prolong her stay and even suggested that she planned to sue him for causing the injury.
These revelations by The Hollywood Reporter have certainly cast doubt on the authenticity of The Golden Bachelor. It raises important questions about the true nature of reality television and the reality behind the seemingly romantic connections we witness on these shows. Perhaps it’s time for us to examine these shows with a more discerning eye and not take everything at face value.
