Summary

• Gerry Turner faces backlash from Bachelor Nation for sharing his "Nomad Granddad Tour" despite requests to stop, but remains hopeful.
• Gerry's social media presence receives mixed reactions, with some offended by his carefree travel posts and others dismissing him as a nobody.
• Gerry warns followers about fake s posing as him online, engaging with trolls in his comments section as he tries to repair his image.

The Golden Bachelor season 1, Gerry was known as the kind-hearted, good-natured grandfather who was hopeful he’d be able to find love for a second time after unexpectedly losing his late wife. Even with Gerry getting the chance to choose between several women who were a great fit for the Indiana native, he wasn’t able to trick everyone, with his reputation catching up to him.

In his most recent recap of his tour through the majority of the US, Gerry shared that he was excited to be heading through the Grand Canyon. “Two days of hiking the Grand Canyon, one day on the train to the Canyon, and the final day hiking the Constellation Trails near Prescott, AZ,” Gerry explained but was met with pushback from Bachelor Nation.

While some are interested in Gerry’s posts, many are offended he’s still sharing his travels in a carefree way. Some comments explained that they were no longer interested in hearing from Gerry about his tour, while others were a bit more harsh, like @silvernotdead who shared, “Simply a nobody.”

Gerry Turner Claims There Are Imposter s Posing As Him

He Says There Are Fake Gerry s

Gerry’s interesting social media presence is one that can’t be too easily replicated. For Gerry, sharing his travels and checking in with his followers is a decent way to engage with his newfound fame, even if he isn’t getting the warmest reception. In the comments of his post, Gerry warned one of his followers that there are fake s posting as him in an odd exchange. Instagram @stewartswanson explained they hoped Gerry was paying his own way on his trip, as “nothing he does could turn his bad pr around!” In response, Gerry shared, “THERE ARE IMPOSTERS. BE CAREFUL.”

While Gerry has been one of the most polarizing figures in Bachelor Nation history in quite some time, there has been an unprecedented amount of engagement on his posts recently. Though Gerry has been working hard to repair his image by interacting with the trolls in his comments section, some hateful language appears to be going over his head on the social media platform. Gerry appears to like sharing about his family and his travels, but the fact that his comments section is filled with viewers hopeful that he’ll stop posting doesn’t seem to be phasing The Golden Bachelor star.

As The Golden Bachelorette comes into view, Gerry and the rest of the women in his cast will likely be shrinking a bit further into the background as the new lead and cast take over. While Gerry will likely be sharing about his life online, the majority of those who have been taking pleasure in roasting him for his Instagram posts will likely move along. Although Bachelor Nation is begging for Gerry to take a step away from his social media platforms, viewers will likely miss The Golden Bachelor when they move on to their latest obsession.

The Golden Bachelor is available to stream on Hulu.
