Gabby Windey and Clayton Echard drama was not on my 2025 bingo card. Three years after their dramatic split on season 26 of The Bachelor, Clayton has a bone to pick with the Traitors icon — he’s really pissed about what she said about him during a recent appearance on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers’ podcast, Las Culturistas. In case you missed the episode, Gabby compared Clayton to a toe and made fun of his dancing videos. I definitely didn’t giggle. Nope, not at all. Clayton clapped back with an Instagram video, responding to Gabby’s digs and calling her out for “bullying.” Here’s a full breakdown of the Gabby Windey And Clayton Echard Las Culturistas dance videos drama.

The Gabby Windey And Clayton Echard Drama, Explained

What Did Gabby Say About Clayton On Las Culturistas?

When Clayton came up in conversation, Gabby referred to him as a “toe-looking ass, skinny jean-wearing” guy. One person’s “descriptive” is another person’s “bullying,” IG. Okay, fine… The toe comment is technically mean, but the skinny jeans part is just a fact. She added, “Have you seen his dancing videos? Oh my God, they will make you run. I’m going to send you one, and you [will] wish you didn’t have eyes.” I fear I have seen the dance videos and I wish I could go back in time and unsee them.

Clayton’s Response To Gabby’s Las Culturistas Comments

In his response video, Clayton expressed his frustration that Gabby’s still bringing him up in interviews, and he defended his passion for dance. “I’m truly so grateful to have found something [where] I get to work on myself every day and challenge myself,” he said. “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 in that studio, and it’s movement therapy. It’s allowed me to release a lot of my anger and frustrations.” Clayton claimed he’s even inspired other people to get out of their comfort zones and try something new. (I’m struggling to believe those dance videos sparked a movement, but whatever he says.)

Speaking directly Gabby, he continued: “Gabby, what you’re doing is bullying. There’s no other way around it. 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.” He accused her of setting “a really bad example” and using her large platform irresponsibly. “So, do better Gabby,” Clayton urged his ex.

Maybe she went a little too far with the toe comment, but if we’re being so for real, this is diva behavior from Clayton. She was joking on a comedy podcast! When you’re a 31-year-old former bachelor awkwardly learning to dance on the internet, you gotta be ready for some criticism. Especially from an ex who you didn’t exactly treat well.

Sue me, but I dare say this didn’t require a ~you wronged me~ video.
