Overview
- Hudson posted on Instagram that she is “suing” Torre, pairing the message with an all‑access UNC pass and a necklace reading “banned.”
- She later shared screenshots of messages with a UNC staffer indicating her birth year was initially guessed as 2000 before being corrected to 2001, which she argues undercuts Torre’s reporting.
- UNC previously issued an official statement saying Hudson, who is not a university employee, is welcome in Carolina Football facilities, countering a report that she had been barred.
- Torre responded publicly by inviting Hudson to appear on his podcast and downplayed the legal threat, while Meadowlark colleague David Samson challenged her to proceed.
- Coverage notes that defamation cases by public figures require proving actual malice, a high legal bar given Torre’s sourcing and the reporting context.
