Former head coach of the New England Patriots Bill Belichick, 73, made headlines over the weekend after his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, made a bizarre appearance during his awkward interview on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
During the interview, Hudson, who was seated off-camera, stunned viewers after she jumped into Belichick’s interview with journalist Tony Dokoupil to shut down questions about their relationship, specifically how they first met.
“We’re not talking about this,” she told Dokoupil at the time.
Hudson has now seemingly addressed the criticism.
Following Belichick’s interview Sunday, Hudson appeared to resurrect her X, formerly Twitter, account to retweet several posts of people apparently siding with her intense reaction to Dokoupil’s questions, according to US Weekly.
One person posted that they wished Belichick “reached across and strangled the life out of the interviewer.”
Another X user commented that there was “nothing awkward” about the former cheerleader’s reaction during the interview.
“Imagine a private person wanting to keep their private life private. Shocking,” the user added.
A separate user seemingly defended Hudson, writing, “I see a woman who cares about her man and doesn’t want him to be screwed around by the media.”
In the aftermath of the interview, Hudson appeared to leak a fiery email allegedly written by Belichick addressing publicity for his new memoir, “The Art of Winning: Lessons From My Life in Football,” in an Instagram post Tuesday.
Alongside the screenshot of the supposed April 10 email, Hudson captioned the post, “Full statement to be released later today.”
In the email, which appears to be sent to Belichick’s book publishers, the University of North Carolina head coach aired his concerns over the media’s negative promotion of his book.
“This is about what I expected from the media,” Belichick seemingly wrote. “I have, at times reluctantly, gone along with the title, cover and language in the book. I am not going to be the conductor of a hype train in the book promotion — we have enough hype to work with.”
Elsewhere in the email, he wrote that the media will “no doubt want to focus on whatever negatives they can extract from the book” for the benefit of their “ratings.”
Hudson’s sharing of the purported email sparked further backlash on social media.
Senior NFL reporter Albert Breer slammed Hudson’s post on X, writing, ”‘Do we have approval on that?’ is the smoking gun that tells me Bill Belichick didn’t actually write that email.”
Breer added: “There’s zero chance he didn’t know that the Boston Globe wouldn’t give them control over the ‘title’ (he also probably would know it’s a ‘headline’, not a ‘title’).”
A senior editor for OutKick, Joe Kinsey, wrote on X that Hudson “wants people on Instagram to believe Bill Belichick wrote this email,” adding, “We’ve reached the implosion stage.”
Another X user simply wrote: “Bill Belichick 100% did NOT write this email lol.”
