Bill Belichick had faced a wave of criticism following an awkward CBS interview earlier this week. The interview, intended to promote his book The Art of Winning, took a strange turn due to repeated interruptions by his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.
As usual, observers were quick to note the unusual dynamic between the six-time Super Bowl winning coach and his 24-year-old partner. The segment had aired on Sunday, sparking immediate backlash online and in sports media circles.
Sources close to the situation had revealed that Hudson’s presence had disrupted the shoot multiple times. At one point, she had reportedly stormed out, causing a half-hour delay in filming.
Production staff expressed frustration over the derailment of what should have been a straightforward promotional segment. Belichick had not publicly addressed the controversy when leaving a Manhattan hotel with Hudson on Monday night.
The pair had stepped out for a private event in New York City, seemingly unfazed by the media storm. Hudson had worn a black-and-white dress, while Belichick had appeared in a suit and tie.
Paparazzi attempted to question Belichick about the interview, but he had declined to respond. Hudson had also stayed silent during their brief appearance, though she had acknowledged cameras with a smile.
There’s a growing sense that the relationship could become a problem in Chapel Hill.

Another person close to Belichick suggested that the CBS moment had been “misrepresented,” arguing that tension had been exaggerated. Belichick, for his part, had continued his book promotion with no public deviation from schedule.
The book, in itself, has also received many criticisms for the absence of any Robert Kraft mentions in the book. The coach has chosen not to mention his infamous split from the New England Patriots and the tensions between the coach and the owner.
Jordon Hudson adds more fuel to the weirdness of Bill Belichick’s book promotion
Belichick had already faced sharp criticism for his awkward CBS interview before more fuel was added this Tuesday. Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend who interrupted the segment, posted a screenshot of an email from Belichick on Instagram.
The email, dated April 10, revealed Belichick’s dissatisfaction with the media tour for his memoir The Art of Winning. The controversy continued to spotlight their age-gap relationship, already under intense media focus.
Belichick had written that the coverage surrounding the book was “about what I expected from the media.” He had also referred to an unnamed news article that emphasized a mistake mentioned in his memoir.
The 73-year-old former NFL coach had stressed that his book was about career lessons, not tabloid fodder. His message pointedly critiqued how the press had seemingly chosen to sensationalize parts of his professional history.
This book is about how I did my job, not a bathroom book that highlights my mistakes.
Bill Belichick wrote in the mail
The email also expressed concern that the promotional efforts lacked authenticity. His frustration appeared to stem from a growing disconnect between the book’s intended purpose and its reception by the public and press. The email suggested that Belichick was trying to steer attention back to football, not personal drama.
Hudson captioned the Instagram post, “Full statement to be released later today.” She offered no further details, though the timing of the post implied a direct response to criticism of her CBS appearance. Her social media account, followed by more than 93,000 users, describes her as a former college cheerleader and the daughter of a Maine fisherman. She has also been participating in pageantry for some time.
