Jordon Hudson Shares Concerned Email From Bill Belichick Prior to Controversial CBS Interview

Jordon Hudson shared an email from her boyfriend, Bill Belichick, written ahead of his contentious interview on CBS over the weekend. 

The concerned message was written by Belichick, 73, on April 10, weeks before the football coach’s sit-down interview with journalist Tony Dokoupil aired Sunday, April 27, on CBS Sunday Mornings. During the interview, Hudson could be seen attempting to shut down questions about how the couple initially met. 

Belichick wrote about fearing how the “media” would handle the press tour for his new book, The Art of Winning. 

“These appearances will, no doubt, want to focus on whatever negatives they can extract from the book, and all the current events that don’t have anything to do with the book, but are most relevant to their ‘ratings’ and their agenda (which is not mine),” the email read in part, which Hudson posted via her Instagram on Tuesday, April 29.

The email specifically criticized an unnamed article about The Art of Winning, which apparently zeroed in on Belichick’s use of the phrase “I f***ed up” in the book. 

“This is about what I expected from the media,” the email stated. “We went through how important it was for me to put ‘I f***ed up’ in the book, and of course, that is the feature of this article — which is mostly about admitting mistakes and talking about a Super Bowl mistake. I am fine with putting mistakes in the book, but I am certainly not surprised that of 260+ pages, that is what they would highlight. And of course, the ‘I f***ed up’ is the click bait they used for the story.”

The email continued, “We’ll see what the title of the article is, which I noticed has been conveniently left out — do we have approval on that. I would approve this article if we can also approve the headline, which is actually more important than the article.”

Belichick insisted he wanted the book to be “presented as a look at my professional life and how I did my job on the way up to, and as the leader of an organization that grew from a $500 m franchise to an $8 b organization.”

“This book is about how I did my job, and lessons from my 50 years in and around the NFL — not a bathroom book that highlights my mistakes,” the email continued. “I acknowledge the mistakes in the book, but of course, ‘I f***ed up’ is the catch phrase. I have, at times reluctantly, gone along with the title, cover, and language in the book. I am not going to be the conductor of a hype train in the book promotion — we have enough hype to work with.

Belichick concluded, “I hope we can get on the same page in promoting the book authentically.”

Hudson said she plans on releasing a “full statement” regarding the contentious interview later today.
