Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos Comments On Clayton/Gabby Situation
Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos is weighing in on Clayton Echard firing back at Gabby Windey after she dissed him online. In fact, he accused her of bullying and said there was no other way around it.
The former Bachelor went on to say that Gabby was attacking him for his physical appearance and also for a passion he loves that totally changed his life. Dancing has given him confidence and allowed him to grow and step out of his comfort zone.
He told her she had a large platform and was using it for the wrong thing. She’s setting a bad example and he’s afraid it will force others to not try something new for fear of being bullied as he is being.

He said, “Do better Gabby.”
In his video post, Clayton had tons of support from Bachelor Nation. Joan Vassos was one of those supporters. Joan said,
It’s shocking that anyone feels it’s ok to bully but especially adults who know better. 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. What kind of example are we showing the youth of today when someone they look up to and admire because they had the privilege to be on tv acts like this. They are learning from us and we need to be better. Thank you Clayton for speaking out and keep on dancing my friend!
Other members of Bachelor Nation also commended Clayton for speaking out against being bullied by Gabby. Kelley Flanagan told him to keep being himself. Thomas Jacobs and Dotun Olubeko also showed their support.
