Jordon Hudson has posted a confusing cryptic statement on behalf of her 73-year-old boyfriend Bill Belichick in an apparent attempt to divert attention from the horror show of his car crash CBS interview.
The couple, who share a controversial 49-year age gap, made headlines for all the wrong reasons at the weekend when Hudson, 24, was captured bizarrely interrupting a question about their love life during the football coach’s sit down with CBS Mornings.
Now, in what appears to be a preemptive rebuke of a fresh interview, the New England Patriots legend has launched an attack on the media.
‘I don’t think this is fantastic, but it probably will hype the book, which is clearly the ongoing theme here…,’ Belichick wrote in an email to members of his camp, which was screenshotted and shared by Hudson on Instagram. ‘This is about what I expected from the media.’
The University of North Carolina head coach, who sat down with CBS to promote his new book, appeared to go on to discuss another upcoming article from his promotional tour.
It is currently unclear which interview he is referring to and it seems the article has yet to be published but amid the backlash to his discussion with CBS, Belichick is already hitting out at the ‘negative’ media attention.

He appears to take issue in particular with the upcoming article’s focus on his admission that he ‘f***ed up’ during one of his many appearances at the Super Bowl with the Patriots.
‘We went through how important it was for me to put “I f***ed up” in the book, and of course, that is the feature of this article – which is mostly about admitting mistakes and talking about a Super Bowl mistake. I am fine with putting mistakes in the book, but I am certainly not surprised that of 260+ pages, that is what they would highlight,’ he continued, launching an attack on the media covering the promotion of his upcoming autobiography.
‘And of course, the “f*”*ed up” is the click bait they used for the story. We’ll see what the title of the article is, which I noticed has been conveniently left out – do we have approval on that. I would approve this article if we can also approve the headline, which is actually more important than the article.
‘We can expect that the “interviews” and “podcasts” that will supposedly drive the sales will also come from similar samples.’
Belichick also seems to claim that a separate interview was canceled over his refusal to discuss his coaching role at the University of North Carolina, while bemoaning the lack of media focus on the ‘business aspects’ of his book.
He also referred to conversations with New York Times best-selling author Suzy Welch and American billionaire Ray Dalio but the context of their discussions is not apparent.
‘These appearances will, no doubt, want to focus on whatever negatives they can extract from the book, and all the current events that don’t have anything to do with the book, but are most relevant to their “ratings” and their agenda (which is not mine),’ he furiously penned.
‘That was evident when Alelrod dropped the story because we would not do current events at UNC. We’ll see how many people wan to talk about the $5,000 bill for “spoiled milk,” and other entertaining & business aspects of the book. I have no doubt the “I p***ked up” will not be the main focus of Ray Dalio & Suzy Welch in my conversations with them.’

Belichick went on to take issue with how the book was being promoted, while notably revealing he was not fully in control of its creation.
‘I will say again, that I want this book to be presented as a look at my professional life and how I did my job on the way up to, and as the leader of an organization that grew from a $500 m franchise to an $8 b organization that played in 10 and won 6 Super Bowls over 25 years,’ he added. ‘This book is about how I did my job, and lessons from my 50 years in and around the NFL – not a bathroom book that highlights my mistakes.
‘I acknowledge the mistakes in the book, but of course, “I f***ed up” is the catch phrase.
‘[…] I have, at times reluctantly, gone along with the title, cover, and language in the book. I am not going to be the conductor of a hype train in the book promotion – we have enough hype to work with.
‘I hope we can get on the same page in promoting the book authentically.’
Hudson’s Instagram post, which tagged her location as Annapolis, Maryland, sparked further confusion as the second image showed a still of two men’s feet on grass with someone’s finger partially covering the lens.
The timestamp, ’35:59,’ was also featured, while CBS Mornings and its co-host Tony Dokoupil, who conducted Sunday’s interview with Belichick, were tagged.
‘Full statement to be released later today,’ Hudson teased in the caption.
The bizarre comes two days after the former cheerleader sparked a frenzy with her awkward interjection during Belichick’s interview with CBS Mornings.
