Jordon Hudson has sued two Massachusetts Airbnb hosts, accusing them of leaking security-camera footage of a shirtless Bill Belichick that exposed their relationship and subjected her to unwanted publicity and ridicule.

The lawsuit, filed November 6, 2026, in Suffolk County Superior Court, names Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, owners of a rental property in Winthrop, Massachusetts. Hudson alleges invasion of privacy, breach of contract, and violations of state consumer protection laws after footage recorded during a June 2023 stay circulated online.

Hudson, 25, booked the property for four nights while Belichick was head coach of the New England Patriots. Their relationship was private at the time.

On the final night of the stay, McDevitt texted Hudson about parking restrictions and included a link to Ring doorbell footage showing Belichick walking shirtless outside the home, according to the complaint.

McDevitt appeared to recognize the coach and commented on his identity, prompting Hudson to repeatedly request that the recording be deleted.

"We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted," McDevitt allegedly responded.

Hudson thanked McDevitt for agreeing to delete the footage. The host subsequently assured her that she was not distributing the recording and asked Hudson to leave a favorable Airbnb review, according to the filing.

The footage surfaced on X in November 2023, drawing attention to Belichick's private life. Hudson later became publicly identified as his romantic partner, although she did not appear in the recording.

When Hudson confronted McDevitt about the release, the property owner denied leaking the video and offered to investigate how it had reached social media.

In May 2025, McDevitt acknowledged sharing the footage with several people while trying to confirm whether the man recorded outside the rental was Belichick.

"We had sent it to a few people initially wondering is this him, isn't it him and I don't know what happened from there," McDevitt wrote, according to text messages included in the complaint.

Later that month, McDevitt and Nolan appeared on the podcast Pablo Torre Finds Out, where they discussed Hudson's stay and provided another previously unreleased recording of Belichick, according to the lawsuit.

Hudson subsequently reported the couple to Airbnb, which removed them from its platform. McDevitt allegedly responded with messages accusing Hudson of destroying their livelihood and suggesting they were considering speaking with additional media outlets.

The complaint accuses the hosts of improperly disclosing private information and violating their contractual obligations. Hudson seeks unspecified financial damages, attorney fees, and a court order barring further disclosure of personal information or recordings.

Her attorneys also allege that the hosts may possess additional material that could be released or exploited financially.

As of November 9, court records showed no formal response from McDevitt or Nolan to the lawsuit.
