Gabby Windey Discusses Romance With Robby Hoffman
Gabby Windey, a former “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” contestant, opened up about her relationship with “Odd Squad” star Robby Hoffman in an interview with Interview Magazine.
Windey and Hoffman met outside a lesbian event at Semi-Tropic in Los Angeles.
“I was still exploring my sexuality, and I had one bisexual friend who was like, ‘Let’s go to some events, spread your wings, meet people,’” said Windey.
Windey was “single for so long” and questioned meeting someone until she met the “love of [her] life.”
“It’s meant to happen for everybody. And then you forget about all the hard things that you’ve been through, and now we have the rest of our lives to look forward to,” said Windey.
Mara Wilson Attacks Trump Over Trans Sport Ban

Mara Wilson responded to President Donald Trump’s ban on trans athletes competing in women’s sports on BlueSky.
“I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls,” said Wilson.
Wilson was referring to an interview with Trump on the “Howard Stern” radio show, in which he boasted about going backstage while contestants were nude.
“You know they’re standing there with no clothes,” said Trump in the 2005 interview. “Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that.”
Shonda Rhimes and Issa Rae Cut Ties With Kennedy Center

“Bridgerton” Executive Producer Shonda Rhimes resigned as Treasurer of the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump was named Chair.
On Feb. 12, a spokesperson for Rhimes confirmed her resignation. This came after Barack Obama appointed Rhimes to the board.
Issa Rae has also cut ties with the organization after announcing that she canceled her one-night show, “An Evening with Issa Rae.”
“Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue,” said Rae on Instagram.
The Center’s Board is now solely made up of Trump’s appointees. He criticized previous performances, including accusing the venue of hosting drag shows that are “specifically targeting our youth” and other shows that are supposedly “anti-American propaganda.”
“We’re going to make sure that it’s good and it’s not going to be woke,” said Trump. “There’s no more woke in this country. Some of the shows were terrible, they were a disgrace.”
