Jordon Hudson Sues Airbnb Hosts Over Viral Shirtless Belichick Video, Alleging Leaked Ring Footage Violated Her Privacy
Jordon Hudson, 25, filed a lawsuit on November 6 in Suffolk Superior Court in Massachusetts against Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, the owners of an Airbnb rental in Winthrop, Massachusetts, where she and football coach Bill Belichick stayed for four nights in June 2023. The complaint alleges the hosts disclosed Ring doorbell footage showing Belichick leaving the property without a shirt, a clip that later went viral on social media. The filing surfaced on November 9 after the California Post obtained the court documents, with NBC Sports, Page Six, The Boston Globe and other outlets following the story.
According to the complaint, on the final night of the stay Hudson received a message from the hosts that included the Ring clip and a reminder about the parking pass, in which a host wrote that she was a huge Dallas Cowboys fan but did not live under a rock. Hudson says she asked repeatedly for the clip to be deleted and was told it would be removed from Ring, but that videos are never totally deleted. About five months later, the footage went viral on social media.
The complaint says McDevitt at first denied any role in the leak, then contacted Hudson out of the blue in May 2025 and acknowledged the couple had initially sent the clip to a few people while wondering whether the man in it was Belichick, adding that she did not know what happened from there. Hudson says she reported the matter to Airbnb, which removed the listing for a privacy policy violation. The suit also cites a May 2025 episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out, in which journalist Pablo Torre investigated the footage's origins and spoke with the owners; Hudson objected that the hosts had given a reporter still more footage.
Hudson is suing for invasion of privacy and breach of contract, along with a claim under Massachusetts consumer protection law, seeking damages to be determined at trial, which the law can potentially triple, plus attorneys' fees and a court order barring the owners from disclosing or disseminating any personal or private information about her to any third party. The leak, the suit says, led to numerous false, tabloid-like and click-bait stories that held her up to intense ridicule and derision and caused immense damage. Belichick is not a plaintiff in the case.
McDevitt told the California Post on November 8 that she had no comment on the lawsuit, and The Boston Globe reported that as of Monday morning the defendants had not formally responded. Belichick's representative had not responded to Page Six's request for comment. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy posted in support of Hudson on X on November 9, calling the alleged leak very scummy and an insane invasion of privacy.
Belichick, 74, is the former head coach of the New England Patriots and now coaches the University of North Carolina football team. Hudson is a former cheerleader. According to Page Six, the couple's relationship moved into the public eye in 2024 on the heels of the shirtless video's release; multiple outlets reported last month that the two split in late 2025, though they have since been photographed together. GSM will follow further developments in the case.
