What did the woman say?

The woman who claims to have had a relationship with Gerry Turner for over two years says they met as coworkers at Vera French Mental Health Center in Davenport, Iowa.

After Toni passed away, Gerry reached out a month later to the anonymous woman and the two had dinner together. The relationship continued and The Golden Bachelor reportedly told the lady that she was the one and he didn’t need to look any further.

Once living together, Gerry seemingly changed. According to the woman, he had her pay for her half of everything. He was also insisting that she make the bed every morning before coming to breakfast.

He then uninvited her from going to his class reunion because she gained ten pounds and he insinuated he didn’t like the way she looked now.

This led to their downfall and they broke up in late 2019. Prior to her moving out, she fell down the stairs while packing and had to have foot surgery. He reportedly accused her of falling on purpose to prolong her stay with him. So, he had her move out to a hotel.

What do you think about these allegations? Do you think it will get brought up on the live finale Thursday night?

Stay tuned for more updates.
