Jordon Hudson has reportedly filed a lawsuit seeking damages over the leak of a shirtless video of Bill Belichick, according to a Fox News report. According to Fox News, the lawsuit reveals text messages with the Airbnb hosts who allegedly recorded and leaked the viral clip.

The Guardian, which credited the Associated Press, reported that Hudson is suing two Airbnb hosts over a Ring doorbell camera video of a bare-chested Belichick. The Guardian report says Hudson maintains that the 2023 clip "invaded her privacy" by prompting public disclosure of her relationship with the former New England Patriots head coach.

According to The Guardian, the relationship, which it describes as an age-gap relationship, generated intense scrutiny. The summary of that report is cut off before it describes what Hudson has done as a public presence since, so those details are not available from the reporting provided here.

The two accounts differ in how firmly they state the central facts. Fox News describes the filing as reported and the hosts' recording and leaking as alleged, while The Guardian states plainly that Hudson is suing the two hosts. Neither report, as summarized here, gives the court in which the suit was filed, the amount of damages sought, or any response from the Airbnb hosts. Fox News also does not say what the text messages contain beyond the fact that they are between Hudson and the hosts.
