Jordon Hudson has filed a lawsuit against two Massachusetts-based Airbnb hosts for their alleged role in the release of a video that showed her then-boyfriend, legendary football coach Bill Belichick, shirtless while they rented the place in 2023.

Hudson, in the complaint filed against Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan last week in Massachusetts, claimed they “egregiously” violated her rights to privacy by sharing the footage, which was captured on a porch security camera, and that "personal and private information about Ms. Hudson" was leaked online, multiple media outlets reported, including the California Post reported, citing court documents.

As per the lawsuit, Hudson, the 22-year-old former college cheerleader, booked a four-day trip somewhere around June for her and Belichick, then-70-year-old coach of the New England Patriots, to McDevitt and Nolan’s Winthrop residence in June 2023.



The duo also alleges that because of the leaked footage in November 2023, people got to know about the romantic relationship between her and Belichick, who now coaches the North Carolina Tar Heels.

“These outrageous violations of Ms. Hudson's privacy have, among other things, resulted in significant unwanted publicity and scrutiny of Ms. Hudson and her relationship with Mr. Belichick, which they had intended to remain private, and led to the ridicule and denigration of Ms. Hudson through numerous tabloid stories published by the media,” quoted the Los Angeles Times.

“This unwanted scrutiny and the ensuing media stories, which contain false information, has caused significant damage to Ms. Hudson, which would not have occurred had Defendants not leaked Ms. Hudson's personal and private information,” it continued.

The owner also allegedly texted Hudson “a link to a Ring video of a shirtless Mr. Belichick walking to and from the Property, which had been captured and saved without the knowledge or authorization of Mr. Belichick or Ms. Hudson (the 'Ring Video').”

Hudson, after informing the hosts and when asked to delete the video, received a response saying: “We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted,” as per the lawsuit.

After their relationship became public, the defendant told Hudson as per the complaint, “I absolutely did not leak this video to twitter or anyone.” In May 2025, however, the owner told Hudson in a text that while they didn't release the video publicly, “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,” as quoted by the Los Angeles Times.

The complaint also accuses the defendants of giving another porch video of Belichick to journalist Pablo Torre, who aired it on his podcast.


Hudson and Belichick ended their romantic relationship in late 2025, but remain close friends and business partners. But it was ulcer who initiated it.
