Jordon Hudson sues over leaked shirtless Bill Belichick video

Jordon Hudson has filed a lawsuit seeking damages from Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, accusing the couple of violating her privacy by sharing a video of a shirtless Bill Belichick leaving a Massachusetts rental property in 2023. The suit, reported through court documents and first covered by the California Post, alleges that the footage spread online before Hudson's relationship with the former New England Patriots coach became public.

According to the filing, McDevitt sent Ring doorbell footage of the clip to Hudson. Hudson says she asked for assurance that the video would be deleted. The suit alleges that McDevitt replied that videos are never totally deleted. Months later, McDevitt allegedly denied leaking the footage to Twitter or to anyone else. In May 2025, McDevitt reportedly admitted sending the clip to a few people, which is the point at which the allegations shift from a disputed denial to a reported acknowledgment.

The lawsuit also points to a podcast appearance. The couple reportedly appeared on Pablo Torre's podcast with additional footage not previously circulated. Hudson reported the matter to Airbnb, which removed the listing for the property after determining it constituted a privacy violation. Hudson alleges that she then received hostile text messages from McDevitt, a claim that forms part of her broader argument that the conduct was ongoing rather than a single lapse.

Hudson is 49 years younger than Belichick, and the reporting indicates the two have since split. The age gap and the public attention the relationship drew are the backdrop against which the leaked footage gained wide circulation, according to the reporting. Neither the suit nor the reporting suggests that Hudson herself released the clip.

The claims in the suit include invasion of privacy and breach of contract. The breach-of-contract allegation rests on the exchange in which Hudson asked for deletion and was told, according to the filing, that the footage could not be fully removed. Hudson seeks damages to be proven at trial, along with attorneys' fees, and a court order barring the defendants from further disseminating her private information.

The reporting does not describe Belichick's role in the suit, and no comment from him has been reported. The allegations are contained in court filings and have not been tested in court, and the defendants' responses are not part of the reporting available so far.
