Honestly I feel like all of us who saw the video are the ones who should be suing.
Jordon Hudson has filed a lawsuit against the owners of an Airbnb who leaked video of a shirtless Bill Belichick leaving the house during what was supposed to be a private getaway for the high-profile couple.
The video from a Ring doorbell camera leaked back in November 2023, before it became public that the then-New England Patriots coach was in a relationship with the much-younger cheerleader:
At the time of the video, Belichick had recently ended his relationship with longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday, the executive director of the Bill Belichick Foundation who he had been dating since 2007. And in the summer of 2024, reports began circulating that Belichick was in a relationship with Hudson, the now-25 year old professional cheerleader.
Well it didn’t take long for people to put 2 + 2 together and speculate that it was Hudson’s house that Belichick was leaving in the video. And since then their relationship has been the subject of plenty of discussion and mockery, given their 48-year age gap.
It was recently reported, though, that the two quietly separated last year, but remain friends and business partners, and Hudson is still frequently spotted on the sidelines of UNC games.
Apparently Jordon still has some unfinished business to take care of from their time together though.
According to the NY Post, Hudson has filed a lawsuit against the owners of the Airbnb over the shirtless Belichick video, claiming they violated her privacy and outed her relationship with the legendary coach.
The lawsuit against Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan claims that Hudson and Belichick booked a four-night stay at the Airbnb in Winthrop, Massachusetts, but that on their last day at the property McDevitt texted her the video of the legendary coach doing the walk of shame:
“It’s clear who is on the video…I’ll leave it at that.”
McDevitt allegedly said in her message that they found the video “hilarious,” but Hudson was immediately concerned that it would be leaked to the public:
“I would expect that after I have checked out, and there are no further issues that the video will be deleted… Is that correct?”
Hudson says that McDevitt stopped responding, but eventually assured her that the video would be deleted…although she included a caveat in her response:
“We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted.”
Well it only took a couple of months for the video to get out there and become one of the biggest stories on the internet when it leaked, and Hudson was understandably furious. She questioned McDevitt about the leak, and the property owner assured her that she wasn’t the one who sent it to the media – but apparently later admitted she had already sent it to some of her friends before making Hudson aware of it:
“We had sent it to a few people initially wondering is this him [Mr. Belichick], isn’t it him and I don’t know what happened from there, but we did delete it from the camera, as I assured you.”
Gonna go out on a limb and say I know how it got leaked to the media…
But apparently McDevitt was still eager to have the couple back at their property:
“You guys should come back lol!”
Well last year the Airbnb owners made an appearance on Pablo Torre’s Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast, so Hudson reached out to Airbnb, who deactivated the owners’ listing from their platform. McDevitt then apparently texted Hudson threatening to release more information about her:
“Now that you destroyed our livelihood, we are weighing our options about whom we will talk to and what we will discuss with them.”
I mean, say what you want about Hudson and Belichick, but this all sounds pretty scummy from the Airbnb owners. If I rented somebody’s property and they started sending out Ring videos to their friends and going on podcasts to talk about me, I would be pretty pissed too.
Hudson’s lawsuit accuses the owners of “outrageous” violations of her privacy, and seeks damages for not only invasion of privacy but for breach of contract and unspecified damages.
Honestly, I hope she gets them.
