Bill Belichick, girlfriend Jordon Hudson UNC emails revealed with ‘predator,’ nepotism fears
Bill Belichick, whose North Carolina emails are public records, has asked for his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, to be copied on all emails sent to him.
That makes Hudson’s correspondences with official UNC emails also a matter of public record.
And some of their anxieties have been revealed as The Athletic obtained emails that show the couple expressing concern about fan comments on the team’s social media pages, with Belichick alluding to being called a “predator,” while Hudson worried about Belichick hiring son Steve as defensive coordinator being perceived as nepotism.
“Is there anyone monitoring the UNC Football page for slanderous commentary and subsequently deleting it / blocking users that are harassing BB in the comments?” Hudson wrote in a Feb. 13 email, per The Athletic.
“I cannot believe that UNC would support my being called a ‘predator,’” Belichick, 72, responded the next day.
The school did not find any references to Belichick being called a predator, the report said.
Robbi Pickeral Evans, UNC’s senior associate athletic director for external affairs and strategic communications, did tell the couple that the school “hid or erased a comment about their personal life and would continue to block, ban or hide similar remarks,” as described by The Athletic.
Regarding the “predator concern,” Evans called the term “incredibly inappropriate, and as you noted below, UNC would NEVER support.”
Steve Belichick, 38, worked under his dad with the Patriots for 12 years, holding four different roles on defense, before becoming the University of Washington’s defensive coordinator in 2023 as Bill parted ways with the Pats.
With the father-son duo reunited, Hudson wants the school to portray Steve as someone who has his job based on merit.
“Though Steve Belichick is in fact Bill’s son, he should be depicted and represented as his own established, credible entity as opposed to an extension of Bill,” Hudson wrote in a Dec. 22 email. “It can be easily misinterpreted that Steve is simply benefiting from nepotism but that is not the case. Steve was fortunate to have learned defensive football strategy from the ‘greatest defensive mind’ of all-time. He has earned his position due to his performance and output.”
Hudson further expressed a desire for the school to avoid using photos of the father and son together and avoid calling Steve “Bill’s son.”
“It is really worth emphasizing the point that Steve has the experience of being a COLLEGE defensive coordinator and will bring a plethora of knowledge to the coaching staff,” Hudson wrote. “I believe being strategic about the depiction of the Steve (sic) will prevent controversy and show upmost (sic) respect towards Steve’s career, validate Bill’s decision as a HC to hire Steve.”
Bill’s other son, Brian, recently joined the school as a defensive backs and safeties coach after nine years with the Patriots, which included last year despite his dad and brother leaving the team.
There were no references to Brian in the emails, per The Athletic, which noted that Hudson’s email signature says she’s the “chief operating officer of Belichick Productions,” which may not be a real company; The Athletic did not find any registered business records of it.
Two months ago on his “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast, Torre described Hudson as Belichick’s “de facto agent,” and she used that “power” to get herself into a Dunkin’ Super Bowl commercial alongside Belichick.
