If you had told us Clayton Echard and Gabby Windey would be talking about each other in our good year 2025, we wouldn’t have believed you...but it is happening. Gabby recently broke the internet when she appeared on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers’s Las Culturistas podcast, where she dished on The Traitors, her Dancing With the Stars-era beef with Michael Bublé, and her Bachelor Nation ex.

During the April 2 episode, she said the season 26 Bachelor’s Instagram posts showing off his dance skills “will make you run… you’ll wish you didn’t have eyes.”

Clayton then defended himself and clapped back at Gabby with a lengthy video on Instagram. “Gabby, what you’re doing is bullying. There’s no other way around it,” he said in the clip.

He continued, “You’re attacking me for my physical appearance, you’re attacking me for a passion that I love that’s changed my life. It’s unnecessary and it’s not funny. You have such a large platform and you’re setting a really bad example, which is just disheartening. I don’t want people to be scared to try something new because [of] bullying online, like what you’re doing. Do better, Gabby.”

The former Bachelor added that dancing “has brought so much self-love and self confidence” to his life. “I’m not the greatest at it and I’m aware of that, I’m not delusional but it’s me vs. me every single day I get into that studio, and it’s movement therapy and it’s allowed me to release a lot of my anger and frustrations,” he explained.

The Traitors winner has yet to respond to his reaction, but according to Clayton, they haven’t spoken since they split up in 2022. He added that he hasn’t talked about her since then, and claimed that she continues “to take shots at me and it’s just unnecessary.”
