Airbnb hosts violated the privacy of Bill Belichick’s former girlfriend by leaking unflattering doorbell video of her shirtless, Super Bowl-winning boyfriend three years ago, according to a lawsuit she filed Friday in Massachusetts civil court.
Jordon Hudson claimed that hosts Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan “exhibited no remorse or regard for these” actions taken outside the defendants’ Airbnb home in Winthrop.
Hudson, now 25, and Belichick, 74, had wanted to keep their May-December romance under wraps when they checked in to the defendants’ home for a four-night stay at 27 Brewster Ave. in summer 2023, the lawsuit said.
During the final night of the getaway, McDevitt texted Hudson asking her not to park in front of their neighbor’s home. The message also included “a link to a Ring video of a shirtless Mr. Belichick walking to and from the Property, which had been captured and saved without the knowledge and authorization of Mr. Belichick or Ms. Hudson,” according to the lawsuit, which was filed Friday.
Hudson claimed that McDevitt agreed to delete the video, only for it to hit social media later in the year, making Hudson’s relationship with Belichick known to the public.
McDevitt then reached out to Hudson, “out of the blue,” according to the lawsuit, in May 2025 and admitted having shared the video with friends, according to the civil complaint.
“We had sent it to a few people initially wondering is this him [Mr. Belichick], isn’t it him and I don’t know what happened from there, but we did delete it from the camera, as I assured you,” McDevitt is alleged to have written to Hudson, according to the lawsuit.
Hudson didn’t name a dollar amount she’s seeking. McDevitt and Nolan couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Monday at publicly listed phone numbers and email addresses.
Representatives of Belichick, Ring and Airbnb, none of whom are named parties to the civil action, also couldn’t be reached for comment Monday.
Boston civil attorney Michael Coyne said he doesn’t believe Hudson has any claim for damages because she and Belichick had no expectation of privacy outside the Airbnb home.
And furthermore, Coyne said, Hudson would be hard-pressed to show how she was injured by being outed as Belichick’s girlfriend.
“So they misled you, they didn’t admit [leaking the video], as most defendants don’t. How have you been injured as a result of this?” said Coyne, chief legal analyst for NBC Boston and dean of the Massachusetts School of Law.
“If anything, her profile was elevated by it. So where’s the damage?”
Belichick and Hudson are no longer dating, according to multiple news outlets, and Belichick, coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, recently declined to rebut those reports.
Belichick is in his second year in Chapel Hill, and his Tar Heels are 5-4 so far this season and 2-3 in ACC play. This season has been a bit of a rebound from his first year on campus in 2025, when North Carolina finished a disappointing 4-8 and 2-6.
Belichick returned to the college game after a phenomenal 29-season NFL head coaching career. His 467 victories rank No. 3 in NFL history, and his six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots are the most for any coach.
