Jordon Hudson sues Airbnb hosts over alleged Bill Belichick video leak

Jordon Hudson sued her former Airbnb hosts in Winthrop, Massachusetts, on Friday, alleging they leaked Ring footage from 2023 showing a shirtless Bill Belichick; her lawsuit says the leak made their relationship public.

Hudson, 25, filed the civil case against Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan in Suffolk County Superior Court. Her complaint alleges invasion of privacy, breach of contract, and unfair and deceptive conduct. She seeks unspecified damages, a jury trial and an order preventing the couple from disclosing her private information.

“Her identity as Mr. Belichick’s romantic partner was outed to the general public as a direct result of Defendants leaking this personal and private information about Ms. Hudson,” the complaint says.

The clip spread widely on X in November 2023. At the time, Hudson was 22 and a former college cheerleader, while Belichick, then 70, coached the New England Patriots.

Hudson had booked the couple’s Winthrop property for four nights in June 2023, when her relationship with Belichick was not public. The complaint says McDevitt sent Hudson a parking warning on the final night, with a link to Ring footage showing a shirtless Belichick.

The suit alleges that the camera recorded and saved the footage without either Hudson’s or Belichick’s knowledge or authorization. Hudson was absent from the video, which showed Belichick leaving the house shirtless and stepping onto a porch.

McDevitt indicated she recognized Belichick in a June 2023 text, describing herself as “a huge cowboys fan but don’t live under a rock.”

Hudson repeatedly asked McDevitt to delete the clip in 2023. “We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted,” McDevitt replied, saying she was not sharing it.

After the video became public, Hudson confronted McDevitt, who responded earlier, “I absolutely did not leak this video to twitter or anyone.” McDevitt warned in another message that if Hudson sued, “the discovery process would presumably not be welcomed by the person in the video,” which the complaint describes as a thinly veiled threat.

In May 2025, McDevitt texted that she and Nolan “had sent it to a few people initially wondering is this him,” while maintaining they had not released it publicly. Hudson’s lawyers view the message as an implicit acknowledgment by the defendants that they leaked the footage, ESPN reported.

The couple later asked for anonymity when they appeared on Pablo Torre’s podcast “Pablo Torre Finds Out.” Hudson alleges they gave Torre another, previously unreleased Ring video of Belichick, which he played, and shared further private information about her stay.

Following the appearance, Hudson texted McDevitt to ask whether she had given a reporter more footage. “You must be out of your mind, Elise,” Hudson wrote earlier.

Airbnb removed McDevitt and Nolan as hosts after Hudson reported them, according to the suit. Belichick, Airbnb and Ring are not parties to the case.

Boston civil attorney Michael Coyne, NBC Boston’s chief legal analyst, told NBC News he does not believe Hudson has a damages claim, since neither she nor Belichick could expect privacy outside the home. “If anything, her profile was elevated by it,” Coyne said, questioning where the harm lay.

Multiple outlets reported last month that Hudson and Belichick had separated romantically but remained close friends and business partners.

As of Monday morning, the court record listed no attorney for McDevitt and Nolan. Their legal representation remained unclear.
