Jordon Hudson Sues Two Airbnb Hosts Over Shirtless Belichick Video

Jordon Hudson has filed a privacy lawsuit in Massachusetts against two Airbnb hosts, Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan. The suit accuses them of leaking a doorbell video that showed former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick shirtless and of sharing Hudson's personal information. The Guardian reported the filing on November 10, 2026.

The clip dates to fall 2023. It was captured by a Ring doorbell, a home security camera, and it shows a shirtless Belichick stepping out of a house. Hudson does not appear in the video. She was later identified as his partner, and the footage helped make their relationship public.

According to the lawsuit, the couple stayed at a rental in the Boston area in summer 2023 and kept their relationship private. Belichick was nearing the end of his 24-year run as Patriots head coach at the time. Hudson is 25. Belichick is 74.

The complaint lays out how Hudson first saw the video. McDevitt, the host, texted it to her with a warning not to park in front of a neighbor's house. When McDevitt said it was obvious who was in the clip, Hudson repeatedly asked her to delete it. McDevitt agreed to get rid of the footage, but she said videos are never completely erased and that she was not distributing it, the suit says.

The clip surfaced on social media in November 2023. McDevitt first denied posting or leaking it, according to the lawsuit. She later said she had sent the video to a few people and never imagined it would become public, the complaint states.

Hudson's attorney, Howard Cooper, and colleagues filed the case. It alleges that Hudson faced significant unwanted publicity, scrutiny and ridicule. The defendants have not yet been ruled on.

Several people are not part of the case. Belichick is not a party to the lawsuit. Airbnb is not named as a defendant either. The suit says the company removed McDevitt and Nolan from its platform after Hudson reported the incident.

Belichick recently declined to say at a news conference whether he is still in a relationship with Hudson. He has not been named in the complaint, so the case centers on what happened to the video and to Hudson's information after it was recorded.

For anyone who followed the story in 2023, the new filing puts the focus on the people who handled the footage rather than on the coach or his personal life. A privacy case like this one will turn on who shared what, when, and with whom. Those questions will take time to answer in court.
