Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, released — on the heels of the football coach’s CBS interview debacle — a lengthy email he sent his team expressing his disdain for the media.
The former cheerleader, 24, shared via Instagram Tuesday an email Belichick, 73, wrote to his staffers on April 10 — amid his promo tour for his new memoir, “The Art of Winning” — in which he said he “expected” the media to hyper-focus on quote in his book in which he said, “I f–ked up.”
“I am fine with putting mistakes in the book, but I am certainly not surprised that of the 260+ pages, that is what they would highlight,” the former New England Patriots coach said, seemingly referring to articles that centered around his acknowledgement of his career mistakes.
“And of course, the ‘I f–ked up’ is the click bait they used for the story.”
Belichick asked his team if he could approve of headlines publications will use and requested that they alter their game plan for future media appearances.
“These appearances will, no doubt, want to focus on whatever negatives they can extract from the book, and all the current events that don’t have anything to do with the book, but are most relevant to their ‘ratings’ and their agenda (which is not mine),” he wrote.
Belichick added that his book was supposed to be “a look at my professional life and how I did my job on the way up to, and as the leader of an organization that grew from a $500 franchise to an $8 b organization that played in 10 and won 6 Super Bowls over 25 years.”
“This book is about how I did my job, and lessons from my 50 years in and around the NFL — not a bathroom book that highlights my mistakes,” the University of North Carolina coach continued.
“I am not going to be the conductor of a hype train in the book promotion — we have enough hype to work with,” Belichick concluded. “I hope we can get on the same page in promoting the book authentically.”
Hudson, who appears to have become some-what of a spokesperson for her boyfriend, teased in the caption, “Full statement to be released later today.”
The post appears to be an effort for the beauty queen to clarify why she was so outspoken during Belichick’s sit-down with “CBS Sunday Mornings.”
During the head coach’s interview with Tony Dokoupil over the weekend, Hudson interrupted, “We’re not talking about this,” when Belichick was asked about how they met and other details about their romance.”
Sources then claimed to TMZ that Hudson was a much bigger distraction than what CBS showed, with her even storming off set at one point and causing a 30-minute delay.
Critics, including Dave Portnoy and Piers Morgan, sounded off on the incident, saying the exchange was “awkward” and “excruciating.” Megyn Kelly even wondered whether Belichick is a victim of elder abuse.
Earlier this week, Hudson tried to appear unfazed by posting pictures of herself having fun in Nantucket, Mass. However, she also reshared a post on X that said, “I see a woman who cares about her man and doesn’t want him to be screwed around by the media.”
