Susan Noles is offering her take on Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s recent split. Appearing on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, the former Golden Bachelor contestant shed light on the breakup that has stirred Bachelor Nation.
Noles speaks up for Turner
Susan Noles was candid during her interview, stating, I’ve gotta support this man a little bit. I feel like he got the raw end of it.

Kathy Swarts’ perspective
Fellow Golden Bachelor alum Kathy Swarts also commented on the SiriusXM show. She acknowledged both sides, saying, Gerry’s a nice guy. Theresa’s a lovely lady. S**t happens. Sorry. It does.
