People at the University of North Carolina are becoming “concerned” about Jordon Hudson’s influence on head football coach Bill Belichick.
The latest revelation was reported on Monday night by TMZ, a day after an awkward interview with Belichick aired on “CBS Sunday Morning,” where Hudson had interjected when the football coach was asked how he and Hudson had met.
Belichick had been doing the sitdown with CBS to promote his new book, “The Art of Winning.”
Now it seems that Hudson’s influence is creating concerns at UNC with her essentially acting as his manager, the outlet reported.
And a source said that there was a “growing sense this could become a problem.”
The awkward interview that aired included uncomfortable moments when Belichick was asked about Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and then when Belichick’s relationship with Hudson came up.
While CBS only included the one instance of Hudson cutting off a question for the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach, that was far from the only time she made her presence felt.
Hudson reportedly interrupted the interview on “numerous” occasions and she would stop to correct him even when he was answering football-related questions, TMZ reported.
She even stormed out of the room after things got heated and wanted Belichick to follow her out, which ended up delaying the interview for half an hour and led to Tony Dokoupil quickly finishing up to get through the bizarre situation.
There was no public relations person from the University of North Carolina, the publishing company of his book, or anyone else outside of Hudson with Belichick for the CBS interview.
A planned second interview with Belichick was canceled as well, according to the report.
Pro Football Talk had been the first to report that Hudson had interrupted the CBS interview more than just the one time it was shown in the segment.
Belichick and Hudson’s relationship has been tabloid fodder since it first became public last June, with the latter giving people a glimpse into her relationship with the famed football coach on social media.
While she wouldn’t allow Belichick to discuss how they met on camera, she has posted about it, with a loved-up post back on Feb. 11 calling it their “meetiversary.”
Hudson and Belichick reportedly first met in 2021 on a flight from Boston to Florida.
She has become a very visible presence with Belichick since their relationship became public knowledge.
Belichick was hired as the head coach at UNC in December after taking a year hiatus from coaching following the Patriots and Belichick mutually agreeing to part ways following the 2023 NFL season.
