The Golden BachelorGerry Turner has been silent on social media lately, but he’s back, with the big question being whether he’ll address his ex-wife Theresa Nist’s recent comments that there’s a secret reason they got divorced that the public doesn’t know about on. Gerry and Theresa got engaged during The Golden Bachelor Season 1, after which they quickly got married in a live televised wedding. Unfortunately for them, their union was short-lived as they announced their divorce three months later.
The Golden BachelorGerry Turner is back on Instagram, but has he addressed Theresa Nist’s recent bombshell claim?
Gerry posts on social media from time to time, sometimes more frequently than other times. He has been missing on Instagram for 26 days but is finally back to the platform. Instead of reacting to Theresa’s bombastic yet cryptic message that there is more to the story behind the divorce, Gerry decided to completely ignore this scandal. His new post focused on a USA Pickleball National Championship tournament that recently took place in Arizona, which Gerry was a part of.
In its caption, the Golden Bachelor lead congratulated the organization on the great event and revealed that “I made lots of new friends and reconnected with old friends.” He shared six photos from the tournament, including a selfie with Mike Nealy, the CEO of USA Pickleball, who looks uncannily like Gerry. When some fans said he appears to be Gerry’s brotherthe reality star agreed, saying the CEO is his doppelganger.
Gerry probably doesn’t want to deal with his new scandal
Gerry is probably aware of Theresa’s recent comments about divorce. She appeared in Almost Famous Ben and Ashley I Podcast and gave a little more information about what led to the split. At the time of the announcement in the spring, Gerry and Theresa said they couldn’t decide on a place to live together; the former lives in Indiana and the latter in New Jersey.
On the podcast, Theresa admitted that it’s difficult to get to know someone in the short space of time that The Golden Bachelor filmed, then went on to say that the issue of location was not the only problem that caused the separation. She declined to go into detail about what happened. Considering that Gerry remained absent from Instagram for another two and a half weeks after the podcast episode’s release, it seemed like he might have purposely stayed under the radar to avoid intense scrutiny over Theresa’s admission.
Gerry’s social media strategy worked
Every now and then, Gerry takes a break from Instagram, which — let’s be honest — is probably a good thing. It’s unhealthy to remain constantly engaged on social media, especially since Gerry’s damaged reputation has caused him to face a lot of criticism in the comments section of most of his Instagram posts. So far, your pickleball post avoided any backlash, so it looks like your strategy, if there ever was one, worked. Now that your break from social media is over, it will be interesting to see if The Golden Bachelor star posts more often now or just sporadically.
