- NCAA. How Jordon Hudson quietly built an $8 million empire while dating Bill Belichick
Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of 73-year-old football legend Bill Belichick, has recently been at the center of public scrutiny following an awkward moment during a CBS Sunday Morning interview.
During the interview, Hudson abruptly interrupted when Belichick was asked about their relationship's origins, stating, "We're not talking about this," and reportedly stormed off set, causing a 30-minute delay. This incident has sparked widespread discussion about Hudson's behavior and the dynamics of their relationship.
High school classmates weigh in
According to a former classmate from Nauset Regional High School, Hudson's actions during the interview were unsurprising.
"That is exactly how she is," one former classmate told the New York Post. "We are so unsurprised by this. None of us are shocked. We think it is hilarious."
Another classmate described Hudson as "controlling" and "dramatic," noting that she exhibited similar behaviors in past relationships.
"She would get mad at him for something stupid and berate him and control him about something or get mad at him over random things," the source said, referring to Hudson's previous boyfriend, who was a couple of years older than her.
"It was very tumultuous. Everyone knew their business. It was very dramatic."
Regarding Hudson's behaviour, the classmate added: "That's exactly how she acted in high school, stomping around. She was very controlling of when [Hudson and her high school boyfriend] were dating. The controlling tendencies are still there."
However, not all recollections of Hudson are negative. Some former classmates her as "nice" and "generous," expressing happiness for her and Belichick's relationship.
Belichick's defense and public backlash
In response to the interview controversy, Belichick defended Hudson's actions, stating that she was merely ensuring the conversation remained focused on his book, "The Art of Winning: Lessons from a Life in Football," as per their prior agreement with CBS. He accused the network of selectively editing the interview to create a misleading narrative.
Despite Belichick's defense, the incident has raised questions about the nature of his relationship with Hudson. Some observers have expressed concern over her level of influence in his personal and professional life, particularly regarding his recent role at the University of North Carolina.
Reports indicate that Hudson has been included in official communications related to Belichick's coaching position, leading to further scrutiny.
Hudson has also faced criticism regarding the significant age gap between her and Belichick. In a ionate social media post, she defended their relationship, stating, "Love does not discriminate against sex, skin-color, religion, age, or ability," and emphasized that love should not be judged.
While the public continues to debate the dynamics of Hudson and Belichick's relationship, it is clear that Hudson's assertive behavior and the couple's significant age difference have made them subjects of intense media attention and public discourse.
