Bill Belichick's interview on CBS Sunday Morning has caused quite the stir, and much of it centers around his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.
During the interview, CBS's Tony Dokoupil asked the former New England Patriots head coach how he and Hudson met. However, she walked straight over and put an end to that line of questioning.
“We’re not talking about this,” she said.
This was followed by a TMZ report, stating that Hudson even stormed out of the room during the interview, delaying it for 30 minutes.
The interview was set to promote his new book, "The Art of Winning," but nobody is talking about that anymore. Instead, all the focus is on his relationship with Hudson.
On Tuesday, Hudson posted a screenshot of an email from Belichick that was sent on April 10 that detailed how he wanted to promote his book versus the way it is being perceived. Pro Football Talk says that Belichick is "possibly responding to the review of his book from Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, since the review was posted on April 10."
And she included Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do," playing in the background.
Here is the full email:
"All,
I don't think this is fantastic, but it probably will hype the book, which is clearly the ongoing theme here…
This is about what I expect from the media. We went through how important it was for me to put 'I f***ed up' in the book, and of course, that is the feature of this article – which is mostly about admitting mistakes and talked about a Super Bowl mistake. I am fine with putting mistakes in the book, but I am certainly not surprised that of 260+ pages, that is what they would highlight. And of course, the 'I f***ed up' is the click bait they used for the story. We'll see what the title of the article is, which I noticed has been conveniently left out – do we have approval of that . I would approve this article if we can also approve the headline, which is actually more important than the article.
We can expect that the 'interviews' and 'podcasts' that will supposedly drive the sales will also come from similar samples. These appearances will, no doubt, want to focus on whatever negatives they can extract from the book, and all the current events that don't have anything to do with the book, but are most relevant to their 'ratings' and their agenda (which is not mine). That was evident when Alelrod dropped the story because we would not do current events at UNC. We'll see how many people want to talk about the $5,000 bill for 'spoiled milk' and other entertaining & business aspects of the book. I have no doubt the 'I f***ed up' will not be the main focus of Ray Dallo and Suzy Welch in my conversation with them.
I will say again, that I want this book to be presented as a look at my professional life and how I did my job on the way up to, and as the leader of an organization that grew from a $500M franchise to an $8B organization that played in 10 and won 6 Super Bowls over 25 years. This book is about how I did my job, and lessons from my 50 years in and around the NFL – not a bathroom book that highlights my mistakes.
I acknowledge the mistakes in the book, but of course, 'I f***ed up' is the catch phrase.
I have, at times reluctantly, gone along with the title, cover, and language in the book. I am not going to be the conductor of a hype train in the boom promotion – we have enough hype to work with.
I hope we can get on the same page in promoting the book authentically.
Thanks, BB," the email read.
Hudson captioned the post, saying that there will be a full statement to come later on Tuesday.

A very Belichick answer.
