Julian Edelman now calls Jordon Hudson a ‘distraction' after supporting Bill Belichick's controversial relationship
Julian Edelman no longer backs Bill Belichick's relationship, says Jordon Hudson is harming his image (Credit: DFree/ and Getty Images) Bill Belichick 's unexpected transition to college football has triggered a whirlwind of reactions—and not just about X's and O's. His relationship with Jordon Hudson has added a new dimension to the media circus now encircling Chapel Hill. With one of the most enigmatic figures in football suddenly coaching in North Carolina, attention was inevitable.

Julian Edelman throws cold water on Belichick-Hudson romance, calls it a 'real problem' for his future Bill Belichick's interview on CBS News Sunday Morning set off a wave of speculation, especially when Hudson was seen stepping in mid-conversation. While many rushed to assume personal overreach, Julian Edelman initially came to her defense, suggesting that her role might be far more professional than presumed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI guru Andrew Ng recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around in 2025 Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo 'She was jumping into that conversation during the interview just like any PR person would jump in when there's an unnecessary question that probably didn't go over in the pre-production meeting,' Edelman said on the Dudes on Dudes podcast. He didn't stop there—he compared Hudson's role to that of Berj Najarian, Belichick's long-time trusted football operations advisor. 'From what I've heard, Jordon is playing the Berj [Najarian] role. Handling all the football ops, handling a lot of his social, a lot of his PR.' Edelman's comments painted a picture not of an intrusive partner, but of a competent professional managing the off-field noise around one of the game's most successful figures. He pushed back against the narrative that Hudson was simply 'Belichick's girlfriend jumping in.' Instead, Edelman implied she was working as part of his team—managing optics, shielding from distractions, and fulfilling a behind-the-scenes role typical for public figures in sports. However, fast forward to Edelman's recent appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, and his tone shifted. Julian Edelman weighs in on Jordon Hudson & Bill Belichick | THE HERD NFL 'The No. 1 thing we used to talk about all the time in New England was distractions,' Edelman said. 'Let's not make distractions. The game's already as hard as it is. To prepare for it, to play, to coach.' He acknowledged the gravity of the growing media storm, calling it a distraction in itself: 'This is becoming a distraction. We gotta practice what we preach here.' 'Anytime we do behind-the-scenes this, that, you've got someone that represents you, they're gonna jump in, but now that it's gained and it's snowballed to what it's become right now, where we're talking about it three weeks later, it's becoming a distraction. That's what we all think right now." It's a candid reminder that in football—especially under the Belichick regime—distractions are the ultimate enemy. Yet, in Chapel Hill, escaping the spotlight was never going to be easy. Belichick's presence alone is enough to spark headlines. Add an intriguing personal dynamic, and the narrative spins even faster. The truth likely lies somewhere in between the headlines and the hot takes. Hudson may very well be a strategic asset to Belichick's operation, yet the optics of their dynamic are bound to fuel speculation—fair or not. As Belichick reshapes his football identity on the college stage, his every move, both on and off the field, will be magnified. North Carolina hasn't just welcomed a legendary coach—it's inherited the full complexity that comes with him.

7 times lesbian and sapphic 'Drag Race' guest judges stole the show
Drag Race All Stars 10 is about to premier and the celebrity guest judge list is full of queer women we can't wait to see them critique the queens! Chappell Roan, Ice Spice, and Cynthia Erivo are all stepping up to the judges panel, but Drag Race has hosted lesbian and sapphic guests since the inception of the show and they've always been iconic. There have been hilarious moments, biting critiques, and undercover werkroom capers that have kept us glued to our screens every season. But what were the best moments of the last 17 seasons? s_bukley/Shutterstock Jenny Shimizu Model and former Angelina Jolie paramour Jenny Shimizu set the standard on season 1 when she told BeBe Zahara Benet that she 'would completely be doing coke with you if this was the '90s.' DFree/Shutterstock Lily Tomlin Lesbian comedian Lily Tomlin joined her Grace and Frankie co-star Jane Fonda on All Stars 3, where the two funny ladies judged the queens who dressed up as some of their most iconic characters. The level of camp was high as the girls dressed up as characters from 9 to 5 and Fonda's '80s leotard-clad workout videos. - YouTube When bisexual rapper Doechii was a guest judge on season 17, Lexi Love and Crystal Envy lip-synced to her song 'Alter Ego,' which led to the song surging in the charts. Kathy Hutchins/Shutterstock Cassandra Peterson Cassandra Peterson (AKA Elvira), may not have come out until 2021 when she announced she has been in a 19-year-long relationship with a woman, but she has been a repeat guest on Drag Race for years. In 2019, she joined the judge's panel for the season 11 'Monster Ball' episode where the queens created looks for a Halloween-themed ball and Peterson judged them while dressed in her signature Elvira wig, and plunging black dress. - YouTube Pop star Miley Cyrus was an iconic guest on Drag Race season 11 where she not only critiqued the queens from the judge's table, but she went undercover in the werkroom with short hair and faux facial hair pretending to be a production before Silk Nutmeg Ganache realized who it was. Kathy Hutchins/Shutterstock Fortune Feimster In season 11, comedian Fortune Feimster and fellow guest judge Cheyenne Jackson helped the queens with an improv comedy challenge on the streets of LA, and the results were messy and hilarious, in large part because of Feimster's ability to 'yes, and…' If you haven't seen Silk Nutmeg Ganache running a back-alley butt pad business out of the trunk of her car you need to check it out ASAP! Este es el mejor dia de mi vida #aubreyplaza #dragrace #rupaulsdragrace Agatha All Along star Aubrey Plaza joined RuPaul on the judge's panel for the season 2 episode 'Family that Drags Together,' where the queens had to give members of their drag family makeovers. Plaza used her signature brand of dark humor and flat delivery to have us laughing during her critiques. But it was her line, 'This is the greatest day of my life. I'm killing myself tomorrow,' that people really remember.
