Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Jordon Hudson Attempts To Smear Miss Maine Winner During Cold-Call Rant
Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, reportedly cold-called a podcast host, Charlotte Wilder, and went on a bizarre rant about the Miss Maine pageant she competed in last May. The much-talked-about former cheerleader was said to have rambled in circles during the conversation and, at one point, took a swipe at the pageant's winner, Shelby Howell. Jordon Hudson also complained about the podcast host's coverage of the pageant, including several statements Wilder and her co-host made about her participation in the competition. The Former Cheerleader Cold-Called A Podcast Host Over Their Coverage Of The Miss Maine Pageant A podcast host who heavily covered the Miss Maine pageant on their show revealed that they received a strange call from Jordon Hudson after the episode aired. "It was unclear to me why she was calling me at first. I tried very hard to be normal. She seemed like, I couldn't tell what the tone was," said Charlotte Wilder, co-host of "The Sports Gossip Show." As the conversation between Wilder and Hudson progressed, it eventually became clear to the podcast host that the former cheerleader had called to discuss the show's opinions about the pageant. However, there was a hint of hostility from Hudson, which she tried to conceal. "She would oscillate between friendly, but there was clearly an edge to her voice; she kind of wanted to let me have it," Wilder said about Hudson, per the Daily Mail. According to Wilder, Hudson spent much of the conversation rambling in circles and used terms like "legalese" and "word salad." The Miss Maine alum also reportedly began the call in a bizarre manner, introducing herself as "the president of your universe." Jordon Hudson Had Complaints About The Podcast's Coverage Of The Pageant At some point during the alleged phone call conversation, Hudson questioned Wilder about why she and co-host Madison Hill thought it was unfair for her to have competed in the pageant. "She wants to know why we said her competing in the Miss Maine pageant would take away opportunities for other people who would need them more - there's a package with beauty treatments, pageant training, and of course, the title of Miss Maine," Wilder recalled. Hudson was also curious about other comments Wilder had made during the episode about the pageant, including one where the podcast host named-dropped the beauty queen's boyfriend, Bill Belichick. "Jordon is more famous than Miss Maine could make anybody. She wanted to know why we said that. She also wanted to know why we said it is her and Bill against the world," she added. The Beauty Queen Seemingly Tried To Smear Her Miss Maine Rival Among Hudson's reported questions, one in particular stood out, a remark that seemed to double as a subtle jab at her Miss Maine rival, Howell. "She also wanted to know why we didn't report that the winner of the Miss Maine pageant, a woman named Shelby, wasn't actually from Maine. We did actually report that in the following episode," Wilder revealed. Interestingly, the conversation between Wilder and Hudson didn't end with that one phone call. Hudson reportedly continued to call Wilder over the course of the following week, with some of the calls also joined by co-host Hill. Reflecting on these exchanges, Wilder said it felt like they were in a "toxic relationship" with Hudson, and that the pageant contestant also declined to come in for a physical interview. Jordon Hudson Has Made Headlines Over Her Relationship With UNC Coach Bill Belichick Prior to competing in the pageant, Hudson had been making headlines for weeks due to her relationship with Tar Heels coach Bill Belichick. Back in April, the duo had a controversial appearance on CBS's "Sunday Morning" show, where Hudson interrupted the interview to prevent Belichick from answering a personal question about their relationship. Since then, questions have been raised about how much of the coach's business the former cheerleader controls, with some suggesting she was also involved in his career with the University of North Carolina football team. Bill Belichick Has Defended His Girlfriend From Critics Despite the reports about their relationship and Hudson's behavior during Belichick's CBS interview, the legendary coach has stood by his 24-year-old partner. On multiple occasions, Belichick has also dismissed rumors about Hudson being involved in his coaching role. Still, the couple has continued to make headlines due to their relationship, even as Belichick nears his coaching debut for the Tar Heels in a match against TCU on September 1.

Jordon Hudson compares herself to Taylor Swift's powerhouse publicist Tree Paine
It's been a busy week for The Sports Gossip Show. Hosts Charlotte Wilder and Madeline Hill announced they joined The Athletic earlier in the week and on Friday, they revealed they received a cold call from Bill Belichick 's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, where she made an astonishing comparison for herself. The Hudson revelation has been a bombshell - with the hosts sharing an insight into their conversations with the 24-year-old in a special episode of their podcast. Wilder revealed that Hudson called her randomly on a Saturday night. After initially rejecting the call from an unknown number, she picked up and was greeted on the other end by 'Jordon Hudson... the president of your universe.' Wilder said that Hudson had 'an edge to her voice' and wanted to speak about their episode on the Miss Maine pageant. In that episode, Wilder and Hill compared Hudson to Tree Paine - the publicist for international pop icon Taylor Swift. 'She loved that we had said she is Bill Belichick's Tree Paine ... "because I am". She said "everybody loved Bill's media presence until they found out I was behind it."' Paine has been Swift's publicist since 2014 - having helped lead the singer through multiple high-profile scandals and moments. These include her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the dispute over her masters with her former record label, Swift's sexual assault trial against ex-radio host David Mueller, and numerous rumors about her romantic life. Paine has been branded a 'PR pitbull' and a 'power publicist' - and has generated a cult following among 'Swifties' for her expert navigation in all things public relations. Inversely, Hudson assumed the role of Belichick's PR guru after his former 'consigliere' - Berj Najarian - left his role at the Patriots for Boston College. Hudson's handling of the media firestorm around her relationship with the coach, the infamously botched CBS Sunday Morning interview, inquiries into her role at the University of North Carolina, the businesses she runs, properties she owns, and personal details about her background and family were not dealt with the greatest finesse. This led to the hire of Brandon Faber from the Chicago Bears in order to right the ship. Hudson's initial call to Wilder broke months worth of cover after that CBS interview and led to multiple days of discussions with the podcast hosts afterwards. Wilder and Hill initially had hopes that Hudson would agree to appear on their show. But as the days passed by and calls went unreturned, they grew uncomfortable with how Hudson was handling things. They said the discussions felt 'like a toxic relationship'. Meanwhile, Hudson appears to have been replaced as Belichick's PR boss after a rough spring and summer of constant scrutiny about her relationship, businesses, and role at UNC 'There were three main questions she had and she is talking in circles, using a lot of legalese,' Wilder and Hill said. 'Words, sort of like her Instagram captions, word salady, not exactly the correct word for what she is trying to say.' Then, when Hudson discovered the podcasters were signing a new contract with The Athletic, she was angry. They explained: 'We tell her (about The Athletic deal) and she is not pleased, she says The Athletic has been awful to me, doesn't like the reporting. Says "I don't want to make The Athletic any money". 'She got very hung up about that in other times. She is sort of obsessed with the legality of how her image can be used. It was something she was very fixated on. She wants intense control without understanding you will never have it.' The Friday after Hudson's unannounced Saturday evening call, the talks fell apart once and for all. Wilder took a call from an irate Hudson that afternoon, and she was screaming at her. 'There is a real edge to her voice this time,' Wilder said. 'She really starts, she's yelling at me, she is crying, she said she finished the rest of the Miss Maine episode and said she didn't like what we said. 'I was like "what?". I thought we were talking about the episode that you watched (in full) the whole time. Complete 180. We had a feeling there was this tension - waiting for the other shoe to drop. 'This goes on for 13 minutes. I am shaking. I've had people yell at me before but because I thought we had built up some level of trust with her, it was incredibly jarring. When someone is yelling at you, you are like 'Oh my God, what have I done?' but we haven't done anything. 'Either she just finished the Miss Maine episode or she had already watched it and kind of wanted to yell at us the whole time. Or if she had watched it, she felt betrayed by people who in her heard were more than reporters. She was like "you have been so nice to my face this week, how can you say these things?". 'To call me, so upset, I was like "what are you doing?". You want to save her from herself. She clearly doesn't trust us anymore, we don't trust her as a reliable narrator about herself. Hill added: 'At times it felt like she was much older, times where it felt like she was much younger... It seems like she's mad at the world, wants it both ways.' Wilder said that very early on in discussions about Hudson appearing on their show, she told her that if an appearance didn't happen they would still discuss their phone calls in a subsequent episode. Given Hudson was aware of how things would play out, it makes her final call to Wilder all the more puzzling. The latest installment of Hudson's erratic behavior is nothing short of nightmare timing for Belichick and UNC, with the eight-time winning Super Bowl coach stepping up his preparations for his team's first game of the season on Monday, September 1. It shifts the spotlight right back onto his personal life - something he has never been able to deal with comfortably or authentically - at a time when football season should be his only talking point. He has defended Hudson staunchly until now. It remains to be seen how he responds from here. The podcasters added that Hudson gave little away about her boyfriend. 'Anytime we asked her about Bill, she would deflect,' they said. 'We got no information about Bill, her role at UNC. She wouldn't give us anything.'

Jordon Hudson leaves podcasters shaking in explosive meltdown... 'She was crying and yelling'
After weeks out the spotlight, Jordon Hudson allegedly unraveled in an erratic 13-minute phone call with a podcast host after days of talks over appearing on their show. The 24-year-old Hudson, the girlfriend of 73-year-old NFL great Bill Belichick, had kept a low profile following an excruciating April CBS interview with the University of North Carolina coach. Her interventions from off-camera to stop him speaking about their romance led to friends of Belichick publicly discussing an intervention, while others questioned his sanity and if Hudson was taking advantage of him. As her reputation crashed from one low to another, she made what appeared to be a conscious and wise step away from the limelight to ride out the storm and allow Belichick to focus on the upcoming college football season. Until now. Charlotte Wilder, the co-host of 'The Sports Gossip Show', has claimed Hudson inexplicably called her out of the blue on a recent Saturday night, introducing herself as 'the President of your universe'. Wilder and fellow host Madeline Hill have taken an unapologetic interest in Hudson and Belichick's romance since it became public news, even attending her Miss Maine beauty pageant earlier in the summer, where she finished third. 'It's a Saturday night, my husband and I had a lovely dinner. A number that is not in my phone popped up,' Wilder said. 'They called back immediately when I pressed the red, don't answer, button. I answer the phone, there's a woman's voice, she says "Hi. Is this Charlotte? How are you?" 'I said "May I ask who is calling, please?" and the woman goes "this is Jordon Hudson. Yeah it's Jordon, the president of your universe". I think she said it's the president of your universe because in the Miss Maine pageant show you (Hill) said seeing her is like seeing the President. 'I am assuming she is recording me. It was unclear to me why she was calling me at first. I tried very hard to be normal. She seemed like, I couldn't tell what the tone was. She would oscilate between friendly but there was clearly an edge to her voice, she kind of wanted to let me have it. She wanted to talk about our Miss Maine episode, our opinions around the pageant.' Hudson had clearly been listening to their shows about her, with Wilder explaining: 'She said you guys have gotten as clsoe to the truth as anyone, you are still far away from it. She loved that we had said she is Bill Belichick's Tree Paine (Taylor Swift's publicist) because (Hudson said) I am. She said "everybody loved Bill's media presence until they found out I was behind it"'. It sparked days of talks between Hudson and the podcast hosts over their interest in her, which Wilder and Hill hoped would lead to an appearance on their show. But as the days passed by and calls went unreturned, they grew uncomfortable with how Hudson was handling things. They said the discussions felt 'like a toxic relationship'. 'There were three main questions she had and she is talking in circles, using a lot of legalese,' Wilder and Hill said.

While gossip is name of our game, we look for the truth behind on-court, off-court dramas
When we started The Sports Gossip Show in October of 2024, we had a refrain: 'We're doing this ourselves.' Because, until today, the only two people working on the show were us, Madeline Hill and Charlotte Wilder, the two gals pictured above. It is now our great pleasure to announce that not only are we no longer doing the show ourselves, we're doing it with the best possible partner in sports media: The Athletic. We're thrilled to be joining its network of engaging, informative and entertaining shows, and we're beyond excited to continue growing our audience with the help of its first-rate team and impressive platform. Advertisement We'll be coming to you twice a week now, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can watch us on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcasts. The pairing of SGS and The Athletic couldn't be a better fit. Yes, gossip is in the name of our show, but at its core, The Sports Gossip Show does its best to get as close to the truth as possible. Everything we talk about is rooted in journalism and reporting. In fact, many of the stories we've discussed over the past eight months have come from news that talented reporters from The Athletic have broken. What kinds of stories, you might ask? We cover all the juicy, interpersonal happenings surrounding athletes, teams and leagues off the court, field and pitch. We also break down intriguing moments that occur during games, as well as the work drama that unfolds behind the scenes of the biggest franchises. Because we firmly believe that understanding what's happening off the court helps explain what's happening on it. Simply put: If it has to do with sports and there's tension involved, we're on it. (We're also on it if someone gets married or has a baby, but you know what we mean.) We both watch games with one eye on the action and one eye on the 'Personal Life' section of the athlete's Wikipedia pages. We started The Sports Gossip Show because there wasn't a podcast out there that truly spoke to people like us. We've been blown away by the response. It seems that a lot of listeners and viewers out there were hungering for the same thing — a show about sports that doesn't take itself too seriously, is chock-full of information, goes on tangents about clothing brands, our love of bridges, magicians and TV shows while analyzing a personnel decision, and that considers the intangible things (like 'vibes') when it comes to why a team lost. Advertisement The best part? SGS is for everyone, whether you're a die-hard who has stats memorized or you think that Taylor Swift really did put Travis Kelce on the map. We never assume our audience knows who people are — by taking the time to give you a little backstory on the characters involved, we provide an entry point for fans of all levels. It's been a joy to hear from listeners who say that, thanks to our show, they can finally participate in conversations at work dinners when the talk turns to sports. Or connect with their sports-obsessed spouse. At the same time, it's been rewarding to hear from self-proclaimed sports nuts who started listening and got sucked in, shocked at how much they now care about the florals at athletes' weddings. Not to toot our own horn, but we know what we're talking about. Madeline has been in the entertainment world for over a decade, working as the social media lead for high-profile celebrities and consulting with many Fortune 500 companies. She understands the machinations behind the biggest athletes' social media accounts and can shed light on what might be going on behind the scenes. She began specializing in 'sports gossip' with her Substack, Impersonal Foul, in 2020. Charlotte has been working in sports media for more than 10 years. She's been a reporter, a features writer, a producer, an on-camera host, and has covered almost every major North American championship. Whether she's talking about going to her seventh Super Bowl or the U.S. Air Guitar Championships, she brings a deep well of sports knowledge to every story. Her work has often gravitated toward the cultural impact of sports, or what she used to call 'the fringes of sports' — but then Madeline came along, and the rest is history. Together, we fill a niche that has been missing and bring a fresh perspective to the sports world. We want the show to feel like you're laughing with your best friends while also looking at sports through the lens of power dynamics and societal forces. Advertisement We started this show with not much more than two microphones, a camera, and a dream to be the biggest sports podcast out there. And now, thanks to The Athletic and their its amazing team, that truly feels more possible than ever. So, welcome to the Sports Gossip Cinematic Universe. If you've been here since the beginning, we are so grateful for your support. And if you're just finding out about us? Buckle up and join us on this wild ride. You can find The Sports Gossip Show every Tuesday and Thursday on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
