Gabby Windey Claims Michael Buble ‘Eye-F***ed’ Her During Judging on ‘DWTS’: He’s ‘Beyond D**d to Me’

Bublé was a guest judge during an October 2022 episode of DWTS season 31, during which all of the couples danced to covers of his hit songs. Windey and her pro partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, danced a rumba to “Home” and earned a score of 46 thanks to nines from Bublé, Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and the now-late Len Goodman. Bruno Tonioli, meanwhile, scored the dance a perfect 10.

“Did you [think he was trying] to flirt by giving you a nine?” podcast host Matt Rogers asked on Thursday.

Windey, for her part, joked back that awarding her with a nine was “not the way to flirt” with her.

“I don’t do that,” Windey said. “I like the love-bomb, like, I’m all for it.”

Bublé, who has been married to wife Luisana Lopilato since 2011, has not publicly addressed Windey’s claims. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.

As the former Bachelorette noted on Thursday, her comments were “not the first time” she’s called out The Voice coach. While playing the “Cheap Shots” game with Cosmopolitan last month, Windey named Bublé as a man whom she hates.

“He didn’t give me a perfect score on Dancing With the Stars, but he did look me up and down in my outfit, so whose side are you on?” Windey alleged.

Windey and Chmerkovskiy, 39, were finalists on season 31 of the ballroom competition show.

“I think there’s been a little bit of pressure all of these weeks knowing that we’re sharing the leaderboard, but I feel like we have a system that kind of works,” Windey exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2022 of their back-to-back high scores. “Which is just, like, work ourselves to death during the week and see what happens on Mondays. … It’s great to be tied for the top of the leaderboard, especially with couples like Charli [D’Amelio] and Wayne [Brady].”

At the time, Windey and Chmerkovskiy were not focused on the mirrorball trophy.

“It’s still early in the competition,” Chmerkovskiy told Us. “There’s still a lot of weeks left, and I don’t think that we have shown our best yet.”

D’Amelio, 20, ultimately took home the prize with her partner, Mark Ballas, several weeks later.
