‘Traitors’ Winner Gabby Windey Says Michael Bublé ‘Eye-F***** Me’ on ‘Dancing with the Stars’
Gabby Windey isn’t exactly a fan of Michael Bublé… and it’s not because of his music.
The Traitors winner shared a less-than-pleasant encounter she had with the singer during her time on Dancing with the Stars in 2022, speaking about it on the April 3 episode of Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers‘ podcast, Las Culturistas.
“Michael Bublé is beyond dead to me,” Windey remarked, noting that this wasn’t the first, second, third, or even fourth time she’d publicly dissed the singer. “I will also scream it,” she added, explaining the passion behind her feelings.
She then elaborated on what happened: “He, like, literally eye-f—– me, looked me up and down, on the way to my trailer,” Windey recalled. “I’m like, ‘I’m for sure getting a 10 out of this guy.’”
When Rogers suggested that perhaps Bublé was “trying to flirt” with her by giving her a 9 instead of a 10, Windey responded, “I don’t know. That is not the way to flirt with me. I don’t do that.” She went on to admit, “I like the love bomb.”
Windey isn’t the first DWTS contestant to feel uneasy about a guest judge. During the most recent season, which aired through November and saw Bachelor alum Joey Graziadei win the mirror ball trophy, KISS bassist Gene Simmons joined as a guest judge and faced heavy criticism for his remarks about the contestants’ physical appearances.
“This is a brand new experience for me and it’s difficult to look at you and to figure out which one is more hot, hot, hot,” Simmons told Danny Amendola and his partner Witney Carson after their performance.
“Danny, I’m telling you, you’re right next to somebody, one of the more beautiful women on the planet,” he added, leaving Carson with a puzzled expression.
Simmons made another controversial comment later in the episode when speaking about Chandler Kinney. He said the actress “fogged up” his glasses, then added, “You move me, not just with your gyrations and so on, but your beautiful face and how you were into the emotion of it.”
Despite her uncomfortable experience with Bublé, Windey told People in September that Dancing with the Stars was “such an amazing experience.”
“Anybody who gets the opportunity, I’m like, ‘Do Dancing with the Stars. It’s the best thing you can do ever.’”
