Leslie Fhima, the runner-up on the first season of ABC’s hit reality showThe Golden Bachelor, captured viewers’ hearts with her warm personality, sincerity, and a story that resonated with many. However, her journey on the show took an unexpected turn when she was eliminated by the show’s star, Gerry Turner.

The emotional moment when she was seen crying on live TV after being rejected by the lead left a lasting impression on fans. But what many didn’t know was that this heart-wrenching scene was only the beginning of what the 65-year-old would endure after losing her chance at finding love for a second time.
Leslie Fhima’s worst moment on Gerry Turner’s The Golden Bachelor
During Gerry Turner’s run onThe Golden Bachelor, the 72-year-old stole the hearts of all 22 contestants. Although viewers and the contestants fell head over heels for the reality star, he chose to go forward with Theresa Nist, Leslie Fhima, and Faith Martin. While the former teacher was the first to be sent home, the 65-year-old fitness instructor followed soon after the restauranteur had claimed to be in love with her.
After her elimination, Turner chose to get hitched to Nist on a live broadcast in front of all the contestants and the rest of the world. In an interview withtheAlmost Famouspodcast, Fhima revealed that the moment had not sat right with her.

It was a little uncomfortable during the ceremony when they were talking about Costa Rica, because I was there too.
After all, for Fhima, where Turner and Nist’s relationship kicked off was where she had lost her second shot at love. However, she continued,“It was probably the only time it was really uncomfortable for me, and seeing Theresa so happy really, kind of, just took that away anyhow.”

Just earlier this year,Gerry Turner, the charming 72-year-old star ofThe Golden Bachelor, captured viewers’ hearts with his search for love after losing his wife of many years. While he got lucky enough to find love again with Theresa Nist, their fairytale ending never came. After getting hitched in January, the couple ended up filing for divorce in just 3 short months, according to reports fromUS Weekly.
If that wasn’t enough to have viewers scratching their heads in confusion, it only made matters worse when an unnamed ex of Turner’s shed light on his past. In an interview withTHR, she burst the bubble of charm that the lead had built for himself. While he had given the world a sob story about staying single after the passing of his wife, Toni, it just wasnot true and enraged fans.

Although the bachelor claimed to have not dated in 45 years, he had even been in a 10-month serious relationship shortly after the demise of his wife back in 2017. It was the biggest lie he had told on the show. However, it wasn’t the only one. Turner also lied about being a retired restauranteur.
