Everett Turner gave an exclusive interview to The US Sun while the show was still airing. “I had Leslie picked out. For some reason, I just didn’t care for Theresa,” he told The Sun.
The Sun reported that Gerry Turner’s dad is taken; he is married to wife Norma, 91.
“I was 60 percent for Leslie and 40 percent for Theresa. I couldn’t say why. Right off the bat, Theresa rubbed me the wrong way,” he told The Sun, which noted that Norma is Gerry’s stepmother. Norma Turner preferred Nist, according to The Sun.
“But it don’t matter. Now I have to change my tune! She’s marrying my son. I’m bound to like her,” Everett Turner told The Sun, adding, “If she don’t make him happy, I’ll probably kick her in the butt! I like Theresa. There is not a problem with me not liking her. All I want is for him to be happy. Whatever he decides to do, I’ll back him 100%.”
Fans noted in Gerry Turner’s Instagram comments that Everett Turner did not make an appearance on “The Golden Bachelor.” However, that might have been due to his advanced age.
A man wrote on the comment thread, “Your dad looks great! Haven’t seen him since he rode his motorcycle to Blue Grass!” Responded Turner, “Great memory!! That was the start of a two week motorcycle trip with dad.”
