Gabby Windey Is Ready to Pay Her Dues in Hollywood

After years in reality TV, the “Traitors” winner is making her scripted acting debut in Netflix’s queer drama “The Body,” with more roles — and a book of comedic essays — on the horizon.

It’s the day of the premiere of her scripted acting debut, but Gabby Windey isn’t sure she’ll be watching.

“It’s literally not about me, but I just don’t want to catch a glimpse of myself and have it ruin my life right then and there,” the 35-year-old says, over the phone from the nail salon. “So it’s really a self-protective mechanism. I don’t want anyone to be like, ‘Oh, Gabby’s acting like she’s too good already.’ It’s like, oh no, no, no. I’ve seen myself on TV so many times. It’s incredibly hard. So I’ve learned.”

Windey has had quite the varied resume heading into her acting debut. She rose to fame in the world of reality TV, as a contestant on season 26 of “The Bachelor,” then as “The Bachelorette,” then “Dancing with the Stars” and “Traitors,” the latter of which she won in 2025. Her life before TV involved working as an ICU nurse and as a Denver Broncos cheerleader. In the years since she appeared on “The Bachelor,” Windey has earned a loyal fanbase who followed her journey of coming out, getting married to comedian Robby Hoffman and launching her podcast “Long Winded.”

” Created by Quinn Shephard, the series is a juicy, spooky queer drama set in the early 2000s around a Catholic school girl’s dance team.
