Jordon Hudson has subtly denied being a ‘distraction’ for Bill Belichick in his new role as North Carolina head coach amid the controversy surrounding their relationship.
The couple made headlines for all the wrong reasons last month when Hudson, 24, gatecrashed 73-year-old Belichick’s disastrous interview with CBS in a painfully awkward moment which went viral on social media.
The former cheerleader interjected to shut down a question about how they first met, leading to concerns over the nature of their relationship and how much control she has over it.
Amid the backlash over the interview, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has suggested Hudson is giving the UNC coach an unnecessary headache.
‘Bill Belichick is the Greatest Head Coach in NFL History, but his girlfriend Jordon Hudson is becoming a problem,’ Griffin wrote on X alongside a video of him discussing the contentious relationship on a podcast.
‘Bill can date whoever he wants, but his relationship has become the one thing he always hated as a coach, a DISTRACTION for his UNC Football team.’

One of his followers then asked him: ‘is it a distraction for him or for us?’
To hit back at Griffin and agree with the user’s argument, Hudson reshared the post on her own X account.
It is Jordon’s first action on the account since she went on a spree of resharing posts which defended her and Bill after the car-crash interview with CBS.
Several of the posts were directed at Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who blasted the interview as ‘awkward’ after watching Hudson gatecrash it.
‘Nothing awkward about it,’ one user replied to Portnoy. ‘Imagine a private person wanting to keep their private life private. Shocking’.
Another argument reposted by Hudson reads: ‘I see a woman who cares about her man and doesn’t want him to be screwed around by the media.’
‘Bill looks like he wants to reach across and strangle the life out of the interviewer. I kinda wish he did,’ said a third.

One user responded to an article by Pro Football Talk questioning Hudson’s involvement in the interview and wrote: ‘Or maybe she didn’t want her or their personal relationship to be part of the interview instead on football..
‘I think if they don’t want to talk about they shouldn’t and if anything — your article demons why.. trying to embellish and take things out of context’.
TMZ reported that Hudson, who has dated Belichick for around three years, stormed out of the interview at one stage – delaying shooting for around 30 minutes – with CBS reporter Tony Dokoupil said to have been ‘spooked’ by the whole experience.
The interview furthers the narrative that Hudson is playing an increasingly large role in Belichick’s professional life.
According to People, Belichick’s three children – whom he welcomed with ex-wife Debby – have ‘hesitations’ about their dad’s romance with a woman almost 50 years his junior.
A source is quoted as saying that Amanda, 41, Stephen, 38, and Brian, 37 are rooting for their dad despite also holding concerns.

‘His children want the best for their dad but like most family members, they hope this is a good choice for him,’ the insider said.
However, they added that the relationship ‘is real despite the age difference.’
The contentious couple are said to share the ‘same interests’ and they ‘enjoy being together.’
‘He is extremely private and anything she can do to keep that vibe is fine with him. He wants that.’
