Belichick's ex-girlfriend Jordon Hudson sues Airbnb hosts as North Carolina readies for Louisville

Jordon Hudson, the former girlfriend of North Carolina coach Bill Belichick, has filed a civil complaint against two Massachusetts Airbnb hosts. The complaint centers on a 2023 Ring camera video that showed Belichick without a shirt outside their rental property, ESPN reported after reviewing court records.

The defendants, Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, owned a home in Winthrop, Massachusetts. Hudson booked a four-night stay there in June 2023, back when her relationship with Belichick was not public. The complaint says McDevitt texted Hudson a link to the footage, followed by messages making clear she knew who was in it. When Hudson asked the hosts to delete the video after checking out, McDevitt reportedly answered that she would remove it from Ring but warned that videos are never fully gone. She also said she had sent it to a few people early on, wondering whether it was Belichick. Hudson's filing treats that as a tacit admission that the hosts leaked the clip, which surfaced on social media in November 2023. According to the complaint, the hosts denied leaking it.

The suit also takes aim at the couple's later interview with podcaster Pablo Torre. Hudson alleges they shared more private information there and gave Torre a second video of Belichick. The complaint alleges "egregious violations of her privacy," and says the defendants may hold more material they have a financial reason to use. OutKick reported that Hudson is seeking damages and that, according to the filing, Airbnb took the listing down after she complained, citing its privacy policy.

Belichick is not a party to the case. ESPN reported that he and Hudson are believed to have split. Belichick is 74 and Hudson is 25. Still, the filing brings back a story that has followed Belichick into his second season in Chapel Hill, and it lands in the week of a home game.

What it means for Saturday against Louisville

On the field, North Carolina is 5-4 with three games left in the regular season, and every result has been close to the line. The Tar Heels won 38-21 at UConn last week. Before that they lost twice by a combined four points: 31-30 to Syracuse and 38-35 to top-ranked Miami. They have also won tight games at Duke and at No. 25 Pittsburgh, and they lost at Clemson and at home to No. 3 Notre Dame. A sixth win would make them bowl eligible.

On this site's board, which tracks 12 venues, Louisville is favored at -160 on the moneyline at Novig.

The total sits at 59.5. The over is -117 at Novig and -110 at FanDuel, and the under is +104 at Novig. The prices are close together across venues. Sportsbook hold runs from 3.6% to 6.3% on the moneyline and up to 7.0% on the spread, so the gap between the cheapest and most expensive venue is a few points either way. Given how many North Carolina games have been decided by a single score, a 3.5-point line puts this one in familiar territory.
