Jordon Hudson files lawsuit over leaked Ring videos that revealed her relationship with Bill Belichick in 2023

Jordon Hudson has filed a lawsuit against the owners of a Massachusetts AirBnB over the Ring camera footage from the residence that showed her with former Patriots and current North Carolina coach Bill Belichick in 2023.

The suit, filed in a Massachusetts Superior Court, is seeking financial damages for what Hudson says includes "ridicule and denigration" because the "unwanted scrutiny and the ensuing media stories, which contain false information, has caused significant damage to Ms. Hudson."

The relationship between Hudson and Belichick was not publicly known at the time the Ring videos became public. The couple is no longer together and reportedly broke up approximately a year ago, though Hudson continues to be involved with Belichick's business affairs and is still a presence at UNC. Their breakup was reportedly so quiet that some around them did not know they were no longer together.

Hudson was the one who rented the AirBnB in 2023 for four nights. In her suit, Hudson says that Elise McDevitt, one of the owners of the AirBnB, texted her a video of the two.

"As we discussed, I'm a huge cowboys fan, but don't live under a rock!" McDevitt texted Hudson, according to the complaint. Hudson said she didn't understand. "It's clear who is on the video...I'll leave it at that," McDevitt said in a separate text. The complaint said that Hudson asked the hosts to delete the video after she checked out. "We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted," McDevitt responded, according to the complaint.

The complaint said that Hudson asked the hosts to delete the video after she checked out. "We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted," McDevitt responded, according to the complaint.

Hudson said that McDevitt also admitted to sending the video to other people; Hudson says that McDevitt and co-defendant Craig Nolan told her they did not release the video publicly.

Belichick was shirtless in the video, and the subsequent jokes about his lack of a shirt are also cited as a reason for the suit.

The Ring footage of a shirtless Belichick appeared online in November 2023 and immediately "went viral" and "became infamous," according to the civil complaint. That, the suit said, was "evidenced by the fact that football player Tom Brady made a highly-publicized joke about it during his roast on Netflix," which aired in May 2024, "six months after the video was initially leaked."

The videos were immediately a source of intrigue given the age difference between Hudson and Belichick. Hudson, 25, and Belichick, 73, have said they first met while on an airplane in 2021.

Hudson's alleged role at North Carolina was also the subject of much discussion after Belichick was hired as the Tar Heels coach in December of 2024. As part of a "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast investigation into the influence that Hudson had at North Carolina, Torre interviewed both McDevitt and Nolan. The suit claims the two "relished" the media attention after the videos of Belichick and Hudson became public and that the two "disclosed additional private information" about Belichick and Hudson.

Hudson has previously taken public issue with Torre, as he had reported in the spring of 2025 that North Carolina had "banned" Hudson from the team's facilities. The athletic department subsequently issued a statement saying that wasn't the case.
