Jordon Hudson, the former girlfriend of football coach Bill Belichick, filed a lawsuit Friday in Massachusetts civil court accusing two Airbnb hosts of violating her privacy by leaking doorbell camera footage that showed a shirtless Belichick outside their home three years ago.
In the complaint, Hudson said hosts Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan "exhibited no remorse or regard for these" actions, which took place outside the defendants' Airbnb property in Winthrop.
Hudson, now 25, and Belichick, 74, had wanted to keep their romance under wraps when they checked into the home at 27 Brewster Ave. for a four-night stay in the summer of 2023, the lawsuit said.
During the final night of the getaway, McDevitt texted Hudson and asked her not to park in front of a neighbor's home. That same message included "a link to a Ring video of a shirtless Mr. Belichick walking to and from the Property, which had been captured and saved without the knowledge and authorization of Mr. Belichick or Ms. Hudson," according to the suit.
Hudson claimed McDevitt agreed to delete the video, only for it to appear on social media later that year, making her relationship with Belichick known to the public.
McDevitt then reached out to Hudson "out of the blue" in May 2025 and admitted to having shared the footage with friends, the complaint said. "We had sent it to a few people initially wondering is this him [Mr. Belichick], isn't it him and I don't know what happened from there, but we did delete it from the camera, as I assured you," McDevitt allegedly wrote.
Hudson did not name a dollar amount she is seeking. McDevitt and Nolan could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday through publicly listed phone numbers and email addresses. Representatives for Belichick, Ring and Airbnb also could not be reached, though none of them are named parties in the civil action.
Boston civil attorney Michael Coyne said he does not believe Hudson has any claim for damages, arguing she and Belichick had no expectation of privacy while outside the Airbnb home and that she would be hard pressed to show how she was injured by being revealed as Belichick's girlfriend. "So they misled you, they didn't admit (leaking the video), as most defendants don't. How have you been injured as a result of this?" said Coyne, chief legal analyst for NBC Boston and dean of the Massachusetts School of Law. "If anything, her profile was elevated by it. So where's the damage?"
Belichick and Hudson are no longer dating, according to multiple news outlets, and the North Carolina coach recently declined to refute those reports. Belichick is in his second year in Chapel Hill, where the Tar Heels are 5-4 overall and 2-3 in ACC play, a modest rebound from a disappointing 4-8 debut season in 2025. He returned to the college game after a 29-season NFL head coaching career in which his 467 victories rank third in league history and his six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots remain the most for any coach.
