'Manipulate..the public': Bill Belichick accused of letting Jordon Hudson humiliate his ex in private letter scandal
Bill Belichick blasted for disrespect as young girlfriend trashes his ex (Getty Images) NFL coaching legend Bill Belichick has once again made headlines off the field—this time because of drama involving his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, and his longtime ex, Linda Holliday. Over the weekend, Belichick and Hudson were seen enjoying themselves at the Nantucket Film Festival, just days after Hudson's blistering Instagram exchange became public. Tensions between Bill Belichick's past and present collide in public and private drama The controversy began when Jordon Hudson reportedly stumbled upon a deeply personal letter that Linda Holliday had written to Bill Belichick during their 16-year relationship. Rather than ignore it, Hudson allegedly shared a photo of the letter in a private DM exchange with someone she believed was close to Holliday. The comments she made? Brutal. Hudson labeled Holliday's heartfelt message as 'pathetic and embarrassing' and told her acquaintance, 'She should make the point to burn it so she continue to live in delusional denial. ' While neither Hudson nor Holliday has commented publicly, a source told Page Six that the couple 'partied all night with festival attendees,' even as the online firestorm simmered. Hudson's fiery remarks came after being called a 'gold digger' by an Instagram user. Her reply pulled no punches: 'Hey babes! Since you are tight with Ms. Holliday, could you please ask her what she would like me to do with this letter I found from 2015?' She continued, 'I know she cares a great deal to continue to manipulate her friends, as well as the public, into believing that I came in and ruined her perfect relationship.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo The personal beef appears to stem from a prior public confrontation between the women at a December 2023 party DJed by Holliday's daughters, where Holliday allegedly tried to have Hudson removed.
