While the sports world may never fully forget the video of a shirtless Bill Belichick leaving an Airbnb property from 2023, as time has passed, the then-viral clip has long been in the rearview mirror. Now, thanks to a lawsuit being filed, it has been thrust back into the spotlight.
Jordon Hudson is suing Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, the pair who allegedly recorded and leaked the video of a shirtless Belichick leaving their Massachusetts rental property.
Hudson is claiming the couple “egregiously” violated her rights to privacy by sharing the clip, the California Post reported, citing court documents.
The video was shared prior to Hudson and Belichick’s romantic relationship being made public. Hudson, who is 49 years younger than Belichick, has since reportedly split with the North Carolina head coach.
In the lawsuit, Hudson alleges that McDevitt sent her footage from the Ring doorbell video that showed Belichick walking outside without his shirt on, and from there, an awkward back-and-forth allegedly took place via text messages.
“We didn’t [sic] find the video hilarious,” Hudson alleged one of McDevitt’s messages read, as transcribed by the Post. “As we discussed, I’m a huge cowboys fan, but don’t live under a rock! Wishing you the best! Please don’t forget to leave the parking pass.”
“To be honest – I don’t quite understand your message,” Hudson said she replied. “Regardless, I hear you…No parking…”McDevitt then allegedly texted, “It’s clear who is on the video…I’ll leave it at that.”
“I would expect that after I have checked out, and there are no further issues that the video will be deleted… Is that correct?” Hudson went on to claim.
Hudson claims she sent McDevitt two more messages seeking confirmation that the video would be deleted, before eventually receiving a reply that didn’t exactly provide confidence.
“We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted,” McDevitt’s reply allegedly stated.

Months after their stay, the video made its way online, with Hudson claiming McDevitt told her that she “absolutely did not leak this video to twitter or anyone.”
Fast forward to May 2025, and according to Hudson, McDevitt’s story changed, with Hudson claiming that “out of the blue” she received a message from McDevitt in which she allegedly admitted to sending the video of Belichick to others back in 2023.
“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 wrote, according to the lawsuit filed by Hudson.
“We were never happy that it was released and never commented that it was our home on any social media channels. You guys should come back lol!”
Not long after the alleged text exchange, Hudson’s lawsuit stated that Nola and McDevitt had appeared on Pablo Torre’s “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast where additional footage and information were shared with the public.
Hudson’s lawsuit reportedly stated that she reported the matter to Airbnb, and the platform removed the property from the site for violating its privacy policy. Hudson alleged that she then received “a litany of hostile texts” from McDevitt.
Hudson is reportedly suing for invasion of privacy and breach of contract while also asking for damages according to proof at trial, attorneys’ fees, and an order prohibiting Nolan and McDevitt “from disclosing or disseminating any personal and/or private information related to Ms. Hudson to any third-party.”
