Jordon Hudson’s high school classmate opens up on her ‘controlling’ nature amid Bill Belichick interview horror
Jordon Hudson’s controversial, headline-grabbing relationship with Bill Belichick has come as no surprise to a former high-school classmate, who knew her as ‘controlling,’ according to a report.
Hudson, 24, and Belichick, 73, sent shockwaves through the football world when they went public with their romance with their 49-year age gap stirring controversy.
But the former cheerleader hit a new level of notoriety this week after she interrupted Belichick’s interview with CBS Mornings in a painfully awkward moment that has since gone viral.
Yet, there are some that are far from shocked at Hudson’s antics, claiming they are ‘so on brand.’
‘That is exactly how she is,’ an anonymous classmate from Hudson’s high school told the New York Post. ‘We are so unsurprised by this. None of us are shocked. We think it is hilarious.’
Hudson reportedly graduated from Nauset Regional High School in 2019, having grown up in Provincetown.

When it comes to men, she allegedly has a type. The Post reports that Hudson dated an older guy during high school too – although, not one 49 years her senior.
And, the classmate claimed that Hudson’s relationship with her ex, who was a couple of years older than her, was just as public and dramatic as her current one.
‘She would get mad at him for something stupid and berate him and control him about something or get mad at him over random things,’ the source said. ‘It was very tumultuous. Everyone knew their business. It was very dramatic.’
In a painfully awkward moment, Hudson interrupted Belichick’s conversation with CBS Sunday Morning’s Tony Dokoupil when her 73-year-old boyfriend was asked how they first met.
‘We’re not talking about this,’ she bluntly told Dokoupil while lurking off-camera at the producer’s table
The excruciating moment has sparked a fierce backlash, with many questioning how much control Hudson has over Belichick’s life away from the football field, while further reports have emerged claiming she also stormed off set and delayed shooting of the interview by 30 minutes.
It also emerged in March that Hudson has had an unofficial role in Belichick’s University of North Carolina career since his hiring with the football coach requesting his much younger lover be included in all correspondence to him from the school.
Emails obtained by The Athletic showed the Miss Maine USA hopeful pleading with the university’s communications team to censor social media comments about the couple’s relationship and 49-year age gap.

‘That’s exactly how she acted in high school, stomping around,’ the classmate said of Hudson’s behavior in the interview. ‘She was very controlling of when [Hudson and her high school boyfriend] were dating. The controlling tendencies are still there.’
However, not everyone remembers Hudson in such a negative light with many of her former classmates recalling her warm and friendly nature.
One described her as ‘nice’ and ‘generous,’ while another was happy for Hudson and her relationship with Belichick, adding ‘good for her.’
Fans were quick to raise concerns after a clip of the uncomfortable interview moment with CBS went viral on social media at the weekend, leading to fears over the nature of their relationship and how much control she has over Belichick.
Furthermore, Belichick’s friends are said to be increasingly concerned at the control Hudson has over the eight-time Super Bowl winner, while North Carolina are said to be questioning if he is still the right man to be their football coach.
But Belichick went on the offense Wednesday, by accusing CBS of using ‘selectively edited clips’ that have made Hudson subject of ongoing ridicule.
He accused the CBS Mornings host of ‘repeatedly’ introducing topics he had not improved, stressing his desire to stay on the topic of his upcoming book, ‘The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football,’ which he was there to promote.
‘After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion,’ Belichick said in a statement.

Belichick issued a fiery statement hitting out at the network for its ‘false narrative’
‘She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.
‘Some of the clips make it appear as though we were avoiding the question of how we met, but we have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021.
‘The final eight-minute segment does not reflect the productive 35-minute conversation we had, which covered a wide range of topics related to my career.
‘Instead, it presents selectively edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative – that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation – which is simply not true.’
But CBS denied violating any sort of agreement and said they had agreed to a ‘wide-ranging interview’ with Belichick.
‘When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview,’ a statement from the network reads. ‘There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.’
