During 'The Golden Bachelor' finale, Gerry Turner chose Theresa Nist, leaving Leslie Fhima devastated and questioning the sincerity of his feelings.
Leslie's family member, speaking to The US Sun, criticized Gerry for his declarations to Leslie, calling him a 'liar' for expressing deep affection and then proposing to someone else.
Gerry acknowledged causing hurt and described feeling like a 'villain' after the emotional fallout, expressing a desire for closure despite Leslie's refusal to accept his apologies.
In interviews, Gerry reflected on his actions, understanding Leslie's hurt and acknowledging the difficulty in seeking forgiveness after leading her to believe she was 'The One.'
Despite the heartbreak, Leslie is moving forward, planning a yoga retreat at the Costa Rican resort where the breakup occurred, signaling a fresh start and a newfound understanding of love.
