Jordon Hudson, the supposed ex-girlfriend of North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick, filed a civil complaint against two Massachusetts Airbnb hosts over the viral doorbell video from 2023 that showed the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach shirtless at a house the two rented.
The lawsuit, filed Friday, Nov. 6 in Suffolk County Superior Court, alleges Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan took part in "egregious violations of her privacy" at the home in Winthrop, Massachusetts, according court documents obtained by USA TODAY Sports. It pertains to a video where Belichick was seen exiting the front door without a shirt on.
Hudson said her relationship with Belichick was private at the time, and the release of the video outed the couple and "resulted
in significant unwanted publicity and scrutinity" of the relationship between the then 71-year-old and 22-year-old.
Representatives for Hudson declined to comment to USA TODAY Sports. Representatives for McDevitt and Nolan did not immediately respond to request for comment.
According to the complaint, on the final night of the four-night stay, McDevitt informed Hudson about parking rules and sent her a link to a Ring video of Belichick shirtless and later texted her "As we discussed, I'm a huge cowboys fan, but don't live under a rock! Wishing you the best!" When Hudson said she didn't understand the message, McDevitt allegedly responded "It's clear who is on the video. ... I'll leave it at that."
Hudson told McDevitt it was her boyfriend and asked if the video would be deleted, and the complaint states McDevitt did not respond to the message. After following up, McDevitt allegedly responded "We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted."
The video went viral on social media in November 2023 and Hudson was "shocked and horrified" the relationship went public as it "became the topic of intense public scrunity and media speculation," according to court documents.
When the video became public, Hudson reached out to McDevitt, who stated they did not leak the video. The suit alleges that in May 2025, McDevitt reached out to Hudson and told her, "We had sent it to a few people initially wondering is this (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.
"We were never happy that it was released and never commented that it was our home on any social media channels."
Hudson alleges McDevitt contradicted her early claims about the video and notes McDevitt's anonymous intereview with Pablo Torre on his "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast released more private information, including another video of Belichick, while again admitting the video was shared.
"You gave more footage directly to a reporter? You must be out of your mind, Elise. This is so illegal," Hudson allegedly messaged to McDevitt.
Hudson alleges McDevitt and Nolan invaded privacy and breach of contract in Airbnb, seeking damages and demanding a jury trial on all claims.
The video was taken while Belchick was still coach of the New England Patriots before he became the Tar Heels coach in 2025. He and Hudson's relationship has been highly followed while the coach has been in Chapel Hill, from her alleged involvement with the program to intense exchanges with media.
A report from TMZ on Oct. 30 indicated Belichick and Hudson broke up over a year ago despite making multiple appearances since the reported split, which caught the UNC football team by surprise, two people within the program told USA TODAY Sports. He was asked about the relationship status on Nov. 2, and responded with "do you work for a tabloid now?"
"I'll keep my personal comments and relationships to myself if that's alright with you," he said.
