Jordon Hudson defends controlling CBS interview with savage retweets — including one wishing Bill Belichick ‘strangled’ journalist

New York Post - Apr 30th, 2025
Open on New York Post

Jordon Hudson, a 24-year-old cheerleader, recently made waves on social media by retweeting posts that indirectly defended her interruption of Bill Belichick's 'CBS Sunday Morning' interview. The interruption occurred when reporter Tony Dokoupil asked about Belichick and Hudson's relationship, prompting Hudson to assertively shut down the inquiry. Her retweets supported the notion of maintaining privacy and emphasized that the interview should focus on Belichick's new book, 'The Art of Winning.' Reports indicated that Hudson's actions led to a 30-minute delay during the interview's recording. Despite the uproar, including media criticism from figures like Dave Portnoy and Megyn Kelly, Hudson and Belichick seemed unfazed, as evidenced by their relaxed date night appearances.

The incident has sparked considerable online discussion, with Hudson wearing a ring during a New York City outing, leading to engagement speculation. While she hasn't publicly commented on the backlash or the ring, she promised a full statement on Instagram and shared an email from Belichick regarding his book promotion. Hudson also reposted an old slideshow detailing her first meeting with Belichick on a 2021 flight, hinting at the origins of their relationship. The story highlights issues of privacy, media intrusion, and the personal lives of public figures, raising questions about the boundaries between public curiosity and personal privacy.

RATING

5.0
Moderately Fair
Read with skepticism

The article presents an engaging narrative about a high-profile media incident involving Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick. It captures the drama and public interest surrounding the event but suffers from a lack of verifiable sources and balanced perspectives. While the story is timely and relevant, its impact is limited by the absence of authoritative evidence and transparency in reporting. The clarity and readability are strengths, yet the article would benefit from a more comprehensive exploration of all parties involved to provide a fuller picture of the situation. Overall, it serves as an intriguing but somewhat speculative account of celebrity-media dynamics.

RATING DETAILS

6
Accuracy

The story presents several claims that require verification, such as Hudson's retweet spree and the content of specific retweets. The article mentions that Hudson retweeted a post wishing harm upon a journalist, which is a serious claim needing confirmation. Additionally, the report of Hudson storming off the set and causing a delay lacks direct evidence or quotes from the involved parties. While the story captures the main events, it does not provide enough verifiable evidence or sources to confirm all details, such as the nature of the ring Hudson wore or the precise details of Belichick's email.

5
Balance

The article predominantly focuses on Hudson's actions and reactions, potentially neglecting other perspectives, such as Belichick's or CBS's viewpoint. It highlights Hudson's defense and public perception without equally exploring the journalist's or network's stance on the interview interruption. This imbalance can lead to a skewed understanding of the situation, as it does not fully explore the motivations or responses of all parties involved.

7
Clarity

The language and structure of the article are generally clear, providing a coherent narrative of the events surrounding Hudson and Belichick's CBS interview. However, the article occasionally lacks specificity, particularly regarding the sources of certain claims, which can affect reader comprehension. Despite this, the overall presentation is straightforward and understandable.

4
Source quality

The article lacks explicit citations or references to credible sources, relying instead on social media activity and unspecified reports, such as TMZ's claim of Hudson storming off set. Without direct quotes or confirmed statements from primary sources like Hudson, Belichick, or CBS representatives, the reliability of the information is questionable. The absence of authoritative or diverse sources undermines the story's credibility.

3
Transparency

The article does not provide sufficient context or methodology for the claims made, such as how the information was gathered or verified. It lacks transparency regarding potential conflicts of interest or the basis for certain statements, such as the engagement speculation. This lack of clarity makes it difficult for readers to assess the impartiality and reliability of the content.
