Rumors started circulating that contradicted Turner’s claims about his love life even before he appeared onThe Golden Bachelor, yet his cameo suggested that the production team didn’t seem to mind. Fans took to the internet to voice their frustrations and even complain about the show’s producers:
Whoever thought that bringing that self absorbed camera hungry grifter Gerry on the show should be FIRED.#TheGoldenBachelorette#GoldenBachelorette
Dear Producers, we don’t want Gerry on our screens.#goldenbachelorette

Vassos was still grieving the loss of her husband, which appeared to be impacting her decisions. It was thought that Turner, having gone through a similar experience, could offer valuable advice on navigating her feelings and choices.

Leslie Fhima was one of the contestants eliminated from the show, but she may have been the one who helped fans start to see Turner’s true character. Fhimaclaimedthat he made promises to her off-camera, hinting that she would be his final choice.
It didn’t take long for the widower’s reputation to plummet, with many labeling him as self-serving. In response to Carolyn’s allegations, he simply stated in an interview withKatie Couric Media:
I guess I would say this: I dated a number of women, but then it becomes an issue of how you define whether you’re in a relationship.
