Airbnb hosts violated the privacy of Bill Belichick’s former girlfriend by leaking an unflattering video of her shirtless Super Bowl-winning boyfriend three years ago, according to a lawsuit she filed Friday in Massachusetts civil court.
Jordon Hudson said hosts Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan “showed no remorse or respect for these” actions taken outside the defendants’ Airbnb home in Winthrop.
Hudson, now 25, and Belichick, 74, wanted to keep their May-December relationship a secret when they went to the defendants’ home for a four-night stay at 27 Brewster Ave. in the summer of 2023, according to the lawsuit.
During the last night of the getaway, McDevitt texted Hudson, asking him not to park in front of their neighbor’s house. That same message also included “a link to a Ring video of a shirtless Mr. Belichick walking to and from the property, which was captured and recorded without the knowledge or permission of Mr. Belichick or Ms. Hudson,” according to the lawsuit filed Friday.
Hudson claimed that McDevitt agreed to delete the video only for it to be released on social media later that year, thereby publicizing the plaintiff’s relationship with Belichick.
McDevitt then contacted Hudson, “out of the blue,” according to the lawsuit, in May 2025 and admitted to sharing the images with friends, according to the civil complaint.
“We had sent it to a few people initially wondering if it was him (Mr. Belichick), was it not him and I don’t know what happened from there, but we deleted it from the camera, as I assured you,” McDevitt allegedly wrote to Hudson, according to the lawsuit.
Hudson did not specify the dollar amount she is seeking. McDevitt and Nolan could not immediately be reached by NBC News for comment Monday through publicly listed phone numbers and email addresses.
Representatives for Belichick, Ring and Airbnb also could not be reached for comment Monday, although none are named as parties to the civil suit.
Boston civil attorney Michael Coyne said he didn’t think Hudson could seek damages because she and Belichick had no expectation of privacy while outside that Airbnb home.
And what’s more, Coyne said, Hudson would have a hard time showing how she was hurt by being outed as Belichick’s girlfriend.
“So they misled you, they didn’t admit (to the leak of the video), like most defendants don’t. How were you hurt because of that?” said Coyne, chief legal analyst for NBC Boston and dean of the Massachusetts School of Law.
“If anything, it raised its profile. So where’s the damage?”
Belichick and Hudson are no longer dating, according to multiple media outlets, and the North Carolina Tar Heels coach recently refused to refute the reports.
Belichick is in his second year in Chapel Hill and his Tar Hells are 5-4 overall so far this season and 2-3 in ACC play. This season was a bit of a bounce back from Belichick’s first year on campus in 2025, when UNC finished with a disappointing 4-8 and 2-6 record.
Belichick’s return to the college game after a phenomenal 29-season head coaching career in the NFL. His 467 wins rank third in NFL history and his six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots are a record for any coach.
