Jordon Hudson, a 25‑year‑old woman who dated New England Patriots legend Bill Belichick, has filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts against two Airbnb hosts, Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan. Hudson claims the hosts illegally shared a doorbell camera video that shows Belichick, 74, stepping shirtless onto a porch at a Boston‑area rental in the summer of 2023.
Allegations of privacy invasion
According to the complaint, Hudson and Belichick kept their relationship private while staying at the Airbnb in Winthrop. The video, which did not include Hudson, was later posted on the social platform X in November 2023, drawing national media attention. Hudson says the hosts leaked the footage and personal information, resulting in unwanted publicity, ridicule, and scrutiny.
Details from the lawsuit
The filing states that McDevitt texted the video to Hudson with a warning not to park in front of a neighbor’s house. Subsequent texts show McDevitt joking about football and acknowledging that “clear who is on the video.” Hudson repeatedly asked McDevitt to delete the clip; McDevitt eventually replied she would trash it but warned that “videos are never totally deleted.”
McDevitt later admitted she had sent the video to a few people, though she claimed she never intended it to become public. After the clip spread online, Airbnb removed McDevitt and Nolan from its platform following Hudson’s report.
Responses and next steps
Belichick, now head coach at the University of North Carolina, is not a defendant in the case. A spokesperson for the UNC football team declined to comment. The hosts have not yet been represented by counsel, and attempts to reach them for comment have been unsuccessful.
Attorney Howard Cooper, representing Hudson, said the lawsuit seeks damages for the alleged privacy violations and the resulting public scrutiny. The case highlights ongoing concerns about privacy rights in the age of ubiquitous home‑monitoring devices.
