Bill Belichick is setting the record straight.
There has been so much speculation regarding his relationship with Jordon Hudson that specifically started after a controversial interview with CBS Sunday Morning. And that brought into question how much of a say she has at the University of North Carolina.
But according to Belichick, she doesn’t have any.
“That’s really off to the side. It's a personal relationship,” Belichick told ESPN on May 13. “She doesn't have anything to do with UNC football."
A report came out over the weekend, saying that Hudson was no longer allowed at the University's facilities. However, UNC released a statement, denying those claims.
"While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities. Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University,” UNC said in a statement via The Athletic's Chris Vannini.
This whole situation began after the CBS Sunday Morning interview. CBS's Tony Dokoupil asked Belichick how he and Hudson met, when Hudson walked straight into the camera shot and put an end to that line of questioning.
“We’re not talking about this,” she said.
There have been multiple reports since this regarding what transpired. One was by TMZ, reporting that Hudson even stormed out of the room during the interview, delaying it for 30 minutes.
Belichick has since released a statement stating that the agreement about the interview was "to focus solely on the contents of the book." He accused CBS of not honoring this during the interview.
"After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion. She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track," Belichick wrote (via Albert Breer). "Some of the clips make it appear as though we were avoiding the question of how we met, but we have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021.
"The final eight-minute segment does not reflect the productive 35-minute conversation we had, which covered a wide range of topics related to my career. Instead, it presents selectively edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative – that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation – which is imply not true," Belichick added.
CBS then posted a statement responding to this.
"When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview. There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was published," a CBS News spokesperson said.
But now, we're hearing it from his own lips.
