PAY UP, PEACOCK! Traitors winner Gabby Windey claims she still hasn’t received the $51k prize money 9 months after filming finale
THE TRAITORS winner Gabby Windey says she has yet to receive the $51k prize money, despite nine months passing since filming the finale.
Bachelorette alum Gabby, 34, made the revelation on Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday.
Host Andy Cohen, 56, had asked her and fellow winner Dylan Efron, 33, to share their “rose and thorn” from season three of the Peacock show.
Gabby replied: “Rose: winning, 100 percent, obviously. Still haven’t seen a dime. Everybody knows here at Bravo, NBC, Peacock.”
Andy assured the pair that their prize money would come, but when he asked Gabby again for her “thorn”, she didn’t hesitate.
“Not receiving my money,” she reiterated as the audience laughed. “I’m still waiting on the money!”
Dylan kept quiet, instead focusing on the experience, saying he enjoyed playing the game with people he had “looked up to”, though he admitted the food on set could have been better.
Gabby, Dylan, Dolores Catania and Lord Ivar Mountbatten won season three after successfully banishing all the Traitors.
The four Faithfuls agreed to split the total prize of $204,300 evenly, with each receiving $51,125.
The season featured a lineup of reality TV stars, including Tom Sandoval, Ciara Miller, Dorinda Medley, and Chrishell Stause, who worked to eliminate “Traitors” Britney Haynes, Danielle Reyes, Carolyn Wiger, “Boston Rob” Mariano, and Bob the Drag Queen.
Following their victory, Gabby reflected on the journey.
She said: “We did it! Despite all the odds, we are the most ‘Faithfuls’ to ever win, and honestly, it feels so good.

“But life has taught me that doing the hard thing and doing the right thing are often the same. But you will get an even greater reward.”
Dylan, whose brother is actor Zac Efron, also shared his excitement.
He added: “We went against some of the best gamers in the world, and we won this game. It is hard to believe. That is the underdog story right there.”
