Jordon Hudson, the ex-girlfriend of former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, has filed a lawsuit against the couple’s former Airbnb hosts, accusing them of leaking a private Ring camera video that showed Belichick shirtless during their stay. The footage, which later went viral, has sparked a legal battle over privacy violations and alleged breaches of trust.
The Lawsuit’s Claims
According to court documents obtained by the California Post, Hudson is suing hosts Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan in Massachusetts, claiming they violated her privacy by sharing the footage without her consent. The incident dates back to a four-night stay at a Winthrop rental property in 2023, before Hudson and Belichick’s relationship became public knowledge.
Hudson alleges that McDevitt sent her the video on their final night at the property, along with parking instructions. Hudson immediately requested that the footage be deleted and kept private. McDevitt reportedly responded, “We will delete it from Ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted.”
Footage Goes Viral
Months later, the video surfaced on social media, drawing widespread attention. Hudson says McDevitt denied responsibility, texting, “I really have no idea who put it out there or how.” However, the lawsuit claims McDevitt later admitted to sharing the footage with others while trying to confirm whether the man in the video was Belichick.
“We had sent it to a few people initially wondering is this him, isn’t it him, and I don’t know what happened from there,” McDevitt allegedly told Hudson, according to the complaint.
Hosts’ Alleged Retaliation
The situation escalated when McDevitt and Nolan reportedly participated in a podcast episode discussing the video. Hudson confronted McDevitt in a text, writing, “You gave more footage directly to a reporter? You must be out of your mind, Elise. This is so illegal.”
After Hudson reported the incident to Airbnb—which removed the hosts’ listing—McDevitt allegedly sent a series of hostile messages, including one that read, “Now that you destroyed our livelihood, we are weighing our options about whom we will talk to and what we will discuss with them.” Another text reportedly stated, “You’re not even famous now! You are infamous. Good for you!”
Legal Action and Damages
Hudson is seeking damages for invasion of privacy and breach of contract, as well as a court order to prevent the hosts from further disclosing personal information about her. The lawsuit argues that the leaked footage subjected her to public ridicule and damaging media coverage.
Neither McDevitt nor Nolan has publicly responded to the lawsuit. Airbnb has not commented on the case beyond removing the rental listing.
