Gabby Windey Says Michael Bublé Is “Dead to Me” After Awkward DWTS Encounter
Gabby Windey isn’t holding back when it comes to Michael Bublé. The former Bachelorette and Dancing with the Stars finalist recently opened up about an awkward — and apparently unforgettable — interaction with the singer during her time on the show.
Windey appeared on the Las Culturistas podcast with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, where she recalled how things went downhill with Bublé, who served as a guest judge during her 2022 DWTS season.
“Michael Bublé is beyond dead to me,” Windey declared. “And this isn’t even the first, second, third, or fourth time I’ve talked s— about him.”
She then dove into the story behind her grudge, describing a moment backstage when Bublé passed her on the way to her trailer.
“He literally eye-f—ed me. Looked me up and down,” she claimed. “And I thought, ‘Oh, I’m definitely getting a 10 from this guy.’”
But she didn’t. Windey ended up with a 9 for her rumba with pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy — and she wasn’t thrilled about it.
When co-host Matt Rogers joked that Bublé might’ve been trying to flirt by holding back the perfect score, Windey wasn’t having it: “I don’t know. That’s not how you flirt with me. I’m not into that.”
“I like the love bomb,” she added with a laugh. “Give me all the compliments.”
To be fair, Bublé did praise the performance, calling their rumba “the sexiest version [he’d] ever seen.” Still, the missing point clearly stuck with Windey.
This isn’t the first time she’s brought it up, either. Just last month, she called Bublé her least favorite celeb she’s ever worked with during Cosmopolitan’s “Cheap Shots” segment — and yep, it was because of that same DWTS score.
“He didn’t give me a 10,” she said, “but he did look me up and down in my outfit.”
As of now, Michael Bublé hasn’t responded to any of Windey’s comments.
