Gabby Windey, known for her appearances on reality TV shows, opens up about her journey from a nurse to a public figure. She discusses her childhood, her experience in healthcare, and the challenges of navigating the world of reality television.
“I pulled out the booty shorts for you,” Gabby Windey teases when we meet for dinner at Taix in Los Angeles. Windey’s voice, often compared to those of Jennifers Coolidge and Tilly, is distinctively breathy, her syllables drawn out and her delivery disarmingly candid. She’s dressed in a style she’s christened “ciggy mommy” — leopard-print coat, slinky black top, silver hoops, French tips, and sheer black tights — and fresh off a call with her psychiatrist.
“I give her a lot of grace in that she had a terrible childhood, and history repeats itself,” she says. “She just didn’t know how to raise a kid. I was always afraid, and I was really lonely.” It’s been eight years since they last spoke; she jokes that they’re “coming up on our ten-year anniversary.” Windey’s mother is Mexican, and their contentious relationship has complicated her connection to that part of her identity. Now, though, “I’m proud of it,” she says. “People in the Latina community will DM me: ‘We claim you. We’re proud of you.’ That means a lot.”
Still, Windey kept at it for eight years. “I had every position: I was a charge nurse. I was a rapid-response nurse, so I would go to all the emergencies in every part of the hospital,” she says. “I was scared as fuck, but I was calm.” At the same time — having secured the professional stability her dad wanted for her — Windey fulfilled her childhood dream and became a dancer, cheerleading for the Denver Broncos while continuing to work as a nurse.
