The Bachelor's Clayton Echard Responds to Ex Gabby Windey Mocking His Dancing Videos: 'You're Setting a Really Bad Example'
Clayton Echard is accusing his ex Gabby Windey of “bullying” behavior.
The 31-year-old The Bachelor season 26 alum has been posting videos of himself dancing on his Instagram page since 2023. However, in a recent episode of the Las Culturistas podcast, Gabby, 34, joked that the clips will “make you run [and] you’ll wish you didn’t have eyes.”
Clayton then responded to Gabby‘s comment with a confrontational Instagram video.

“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 said in the post.
“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,” he added.
Clayton also opened up about what the dancing videos mean to him.
“[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. I’m not the greatest at it and I’m aware of that, I’m not delusional but it’s me vs. 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,” he said.
In the clip, Clayton also revealed that he hasn’t spoken to Gabby in approximately three years.
Clayton‘s video received support from other Bachelor universe contenders, including The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos.
“I’m sure Gabby thought she was being entertaining and funny but it’s not when it’s at the expense of someone else’s feelings,” she commented on the post.
If you didn’t see, back in 2023, Clayton shut down rumors that he is the father to an anonymous woman’s child.
