NEED TO KNOW
- On Friday, May 23, Jordon Hudson, 24, responded to sports journalist Pablo Torre’s latest reporting on Hudson and her boyfriend, Bill Belichick, 73
- In a since-deleted post to her Instagram Stories, Hudson claimed that Torre’s coverage has been “nothing short of factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory and targeted”
- Torre’s most recent podcast episode exposed the story behind the infamous 2023 Ring camera footage of Belichick shirtless outside of an Airbnb
Jordon Hudson is speaking out against sports reporter Pablo Torre and his coverage of her high-profile relationship with boyfriend Bill Belichick.
On Friday, May 23, Torre released a new episode of his Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast, during which he recounts his investigation of infamous security footage that showed Belichick, 73, shirtless outside of a home. Torre revealed that the video was actually recorded at an Airbnb the former NFL coach rented with Hudson, 24, in 2023.
The ESPN contributor then went on to share that he spoke to the Airbnb hosts, and they recalled their confusion upon seeing “an older gentleman with a very young woman who checked in the night before.”

Per the interview recording, the homeowners told Torre they did not recognize the UNC-Chapel Hill football coach. Instead, they initially guessed he might’ve been a “relative or a drug dealer.” Later during their stay, the hosts also told Torre they wondered if Hudson was “an escort.”
Shortly after the podcast episode went live, the Miss Maine USA contestant took to her Instagram Stories to slam Torre, who has made several reports about the couple in recent weeks.
“Pablo Torre’s ‘findings’ have been nothing short of factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory and targeted. Can y’all please stop giving credibility to this ‘reporter’?” wrote Hudson.
Her caption accompanied a screenshot of texts between her and an Airbnb owner, who sent Hudson a Ring camera link and asked about her “guests” and their “prohibited” parking, per information shared by the hosts’ neighbors. The house owner said they did not charge Hudson a “guest fee” because they felt the parking was a “bigger issue.”

Less than an hour after Hudson uploaded the nearly two-year-old screenshots, she deleted them from her Stories.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Torre responded to her quick removal. “I find it bizarrely appropriate, at this point, that Jordon Hudson would post that and then delete it,” the journalist says, adding, “But to be perfectly clear: I stand by our reporting and the episodes we published.”
In addition to his recent deep dive into the 2023 porch footage, Torre has also been behind several bombshells dropped about Hudson and Belichick, who have a 49-year age gap.
On May 9, Torre reported that Hudson was banned from the University of North Carolina football field and football building, though the school shut down the claim in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. (Torre then doubled down on his reportage in a statement to PEOPLE after UNC’s denial.)

After deleting her Instagram blast, Hudson switched to a different platform to question the matter. She tagged the vacation rental company in a post shared to her X account.
“Hey @Airbnb – Quick question,” she began. “How do you feel about Airbnb owners publicly distributing security footage and information about tenants / their stay?”
