It’s getting ugly between Gabby Windey and Clayton Echard.
Or, maybe we should always say, it’s getting uglier between Gabby Windey and Clayton Echard.
As you could recall, Echard and Windey met, fell for one another and dated on and after the previous’s season of The Bachelor.
However then Clayton in the end dumped her — in addition to Rachel Recchia — to pursue a relationship with Susie Evans.
This was years in the past.
Nevertheless, Windey took a shot at Echard’s on-line dancing movies a number of days in the past… and her ex did NOT take kindly to it.
“Gabby, what you’re doing is bullying. There’s no other way around it,” Echard mentioned on April 6, addressing Windey, who beforehand instructed Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers that Echard’s dancing posts “will make you run … you’ll wish you didn’t have eyes.”
Added Echard in his response to his former lover:
“You’re attacking me for my bodily look, you’re attacking me for a ardour that I really like that’s modified my life. It’s pointless and it’s not humorous.
“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.”
Take it away now, Gabby!
“Oh, that’s rich,” the 34-year outdated mentioned by way of a TikTok video posted on April 8. “It’s rich coming from a man who exploited my sexual life on TV without me knowing.”
Yikes, huh? Issues are actually getting private now.
Again on Season 26 of The Bachelor, Echard instructed viewers that he slept with each Gabby and Rachel, an admission most leads had not made prior to now.
“You were intimate with ‘the both of us’ you said on national TV in front of millions without having a conversation with me or any other woman first,” Gabby went on Tuesday. “So, you humiliated us in front of each other and in front of everybody watching the TV show.”
Echard beforehand admitted to having had suicidal ideas and has shared movies of himself dancing for the digicam since 2023.
“[Dancing] has brought so much self love and self confidence that I’m truly so grateful to have found something that I get to work on myself every day and challenge myself,” he mentioned.
“I’m not the greatest at it and I’m aware of that, I’m not delusional but it’s me versus 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.”
Clayton added that he hadn’t talked to Windey — who served as The Bachelorette alongside Recchia in 2022 — “in three years,” however that Windey continues “to take shots at me and it’s just unnecessary.”
After the the aforementioned 2022 season wrapped up, Clayton garnered backlash over how he behaved. He was ridiculed for exposing his fantasy suite dates with Rachel and Gabby to Susie and claiming he cherished all of them.
To conclude her newest TikTok video, Gabby took a protracted pause earlier than directing her feedback at Clayton.
“Oh, I’m a mean girl?” she mentioned. “As a straight, white man maybe you should do better with your power.”
