Gabby Windey Claims Michael Bublé "Eye-F--ked" Her on DWTS
Gabby Windey is sashaying away Michael Bublé.
The Bachelorette alum doesn't have fond memories of the "Haven't Met You Yet" singer's stint as a guest judge when she was on season 31 of Dancing With the Stars back in October 2022 and prevented her from getting a perfect score on her rumba dance.
"Me talking mad s--t on Michael Bublé," Gabby declared on the April 2 episode of Las Culturistas. "This is not the first, second, third, or fourth time. I will also scream it. Michael Bublé is beyond dead to me."
"He, like, literally eye-f--ked me, looked me up and down on the way to my trailer," she recalled. "You know what I mean? I'm like, 'I'm for sure getting a 10 out of this guy.'"
But ultimately while she and partner Val Chmerkovskiy picked up a perfect score from Bruno Tonioli, Michael stopped just short giving her a 9. Hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers then asked the Traitors winner if she thought Michael—who has been married to Luisana Lopilato since 2011—was "trying to flirt" with her by giving her routine a nine.
"I don't know," Gabby—who married comedian Robby Hoffman in January—replied. "That is not the way to flirt with me. I don't do that. I like the love bomb."
E! News has reached out to Michael's rep and hasn't heard back.
As she mentioned, this isn't the first time that the Long Winded podcast host—who was ultimately runner up on that DWTS season—has publicly called out the "Everything" singer.
During a recent episode of Cosmopolitan's Cheap Shots series, Gabby was asked to name a male celebrity that she's worked with who she hates, and she didn't hesitate to say Michael's name.
"He didn’t give me a perfect score on Dancing With the Stars," she said in the segment published in March, "but he did look me up and down in my outfit, so whose side are you on?"
Gabby is no stranger to peeling back the curtain on her reality TV experiences. The 34-year-old recently got real about her time on season three The Traitors, too.
"Andy Cohen was like, ‘What did you learn from all the winners?’” Gabby said in the March 13 episode of her Long Winded podcast. “I'm like, ‘I learned that misogyny is alive and well, and so is the patriarchy because no one took us seriously.’"
She specifically called out Dylan Efron as having contributed to that feeling.
"Everyone thought that Dylan was the lead faithful," Gabby explained of her fellow winner. "So, I would try and talk to him like, ‘Hey, we're on the same side.’ But his foot was on my neck. I could see him judging me in every conversation."
Ultimately, however, the two were able to reach a truce—especially after Dylan realized just how wrong he was.
“By the end, I trusted her more than anyone,” he told Cosmopolitan following their season three victory alongside Lord Ivar Mountbatten and Dolores Catania. “So, it was cool that I got to live that experience out and learn from it.”
