UNC ‘takes shock action’ against Jordon Hudson amid ‘deep worry’ for Bill Belichick

Jordon Hudson has been banned from the football facilities at the University of North Carolina amid her controversial relationship with Bill Belichick, according to reports.

Belichick and Hudson – who is 49-years-younger than the NFL great at 24 – saw their romance ruthlessly propelled back into the spotlight last week when footage emerged of her interrupting his CBS interview when he was asked how they met. 

It also emerged on Thursday night that Hudson’s control over her 73-year-old partner could be starting to wane after he appeared without her at a New York book event this week.

Former ESPN reporter Pablo Torre has now claimed on his podcast that more distance has been put between Hudson and Belichick’s UNC career because she has been banned from the school’s football facilities.

High-ranking officials in UNC’s athletic department reportedly came to a decision last week that Hudson would not be welcome at the football field or inside the facility. 

‘Don’t think you’ll be hearing much from Jordon moving forward,’ one source said.

Another ‘Belichick family source’ told him: ‘There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill’s legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades.’ 

DailyMail.com has contacted UNC for comment. 

After leaving the New England Patriots in January 2024, Belichick is now gearing up for a return to football at the college level, with the Tar Heels.

He signed a five-year, $50million contract with the school in December and is busy preparing them for the upcoming season, which begins on September 1.

Hudson’s influence has already made things wobble in Chapel Hill, too. It emerged that her desire to be involved in the iconic HBO ‘Hard Knocks’ series curtailed the cameras’ involvement in Belichick’s work at the school. 

She was also slammed by fans after a ‘gross’ video emerged of Hudson dominating one practice last month.

While players were busy working out on the field, Hudson was in constant interaction with Belichick and at one point even strolled onto the turf to fix his mic and headset.

The cringeworthy CBS scene sparked an outpouring of dismay around the relationship, from friends publicly vowing to intervene on Belichick’s behalf to former players he coached questioning his sanity.

In a painfully awkward moment, Hudson interrupted Belichick’s conversation with CBS

Belichick, Daily Mail exclusively reported, was not massively concerned by the backlash but it emerged he was resuming his book tour with a PR guru by his side rather than Hudson.

Page Six claimed that Belichick was joined by Brandon Faber, the former vice-president of communications at the Chicago Bears, instead of Hudson. 

‘Cooler heads may be starting to prevail,’ Page Six quoted a source as saying. ‘Her influence may be waning.’ 

Belichick hit out at CBS as the backlash at Hudson intensified as a result of their interview.

He accused CBS of using ‘selectively edited clips’ that have made Hudson subject of ongoing ridicule.

‘I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokoupil, and the producers that I preferred to keep the conversation centered on the book,’ Belichick said.

‘After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help focus the discussion.’

CBS disputed those claims, saying: ‘When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview.

‘There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. 

‘This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.’

Hudson and Belichick have been seen together since the interview – they were spotted dining at a luxury Manhattan hotel but didn’t answer when paparazzi asked them about the interview.
