After making previous reports on the Belichick-Hudson saga, journalist Pablo Torre recently claimed that UNC higher-ups have been losing sleep over the idea of the former cheerleader being anywhere near the team as they gear up for the upcoming season.
"What if I told you that [Belichick's] inner circle of actual coaches on staff, including a certain Mike Lombardi, is deeply concerned about Jordon Hudson and her presence in the building?" said Torre during a Tuesday appearance on Bill Simmons' podcast, per the New York Post.

Torre later followed up with a question about whether Simmons had communicated with Lombardi about the situation, given that they share a relationship.
"Bill, surely you've communicated with Lombardi about this. So, what has he said?" Torre inquired.
However, Simmons, seemingly desiring not to further fuel the narrative, chose not to address the question.
Still, that didn't stop Torre from continuing to speculate that Hudson's romance with Belichick may have begun long before the public ever caught wind of it.
He noted that the former cheerleader attended a 2021 Patriots game and even sat in Belichick's personal section. That appearance came the same year the pair reportedly met on a flight from New York to Palm Beach.

Torre's comments come after his earlier report about Hudson being persona non grata at the UNC athletics facility.

The former ESPN analyst claimed that the order was issued amid the fallout from Belichick's disastrous "CBS Sunday Morning" interview.
However, the news was quickly shut down by North Carolina in a statement, where they also confirmed the nature of Hudson's involvement in Belichick's career.
"While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities," the statement read, per The Blast. "Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University."

"The University of North Carolina can choose to describe or change its position on Jordon Hudson's involvement, however it wishes," Torre said, per the New York Post. "We requested comments and filed dozens of FOIA requests that were not satisfied. And we stand by the specific reporting, which came from the highest levels of the football program."
Later on, he took to X to echo similar sentiments while quoting a comment from a netizen.
"We broke the news of an important meeting where UNC higher-ups told the football program that Jordon Hudson can't be around the facility anymore," Torre penned on the platform at the time. "Many people around the team heard that message very clearly. You can decide who to trust, in terms of how the PR spin goes from here."
The Journalist Previously Reported That Bill Belichick's Family Was Digging Into His Girlfriend

As part of his earlier reporting about Hudson, Torre claimed that he had spoken with nearly a dozen individuals who knew Hudson before he came to the conclusion that she was trying to control Belichick's career to further her own.

At the time, he also shared that Belichick's family is concerned and digging into Hudson as her relationship with the veteran coach continues to blossom.
"There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill's legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades," a source close to the family told Torre.
Seemingly responding to the claim, an X account possibly belonging to Hudson commented "#scapeGOAT," under The New York Post's story that carried the news.
The account has also reposted multiple comments criticizing Torre's reporting in the wake of his continued attack on Hudson.

Despite the heavy backlash against Belichick and Hudson, the duo is reportedly not letting it impact their romance in any way.

According to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail, the constant criticism they have received "acts as a fuel for their relationship and makes them even more in love."
In fact, the pair is said to be "thriving in people's jealousy," a reaction that has surprised many of their detractors.
"They both have hit the lottery and are all about each other, and they both feel that they make each other better," the insider added.
Speaking further about the lovebirds, the source said that it has become a thing for people to "pounce" on them if there is any "type of misfortune that comes their way."
And while their public images seem to be in the mud, the couple is still "happy" and in "love."
