Overview

• Bill Belichick requested that his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, be copied on all work-related emails, making her communications part of public records due to UNC's status as a public institution.
• Hudson advised UNC staff on managing public perceptions of nepotism following the hiring of Belichick's son, Steve, as defensive coordinator, suggesting he be portrayed as an independent professional.
• Emails show Hudson asked the university's social media team to monitor and delete comments she deemed slanderous or harassing toward Belichick, including concerns over being labeled a 'predator.'
• Hudson has filed 14 trademark applications for Belichick's signature phrases, adding '(Bill's Version)' to each, extending her role into intellectual property and branding.
• A viral video of Hudson adjusting Belichick's microphone during a football practice has further fueled public debate over her unofficial yet prominent role at UNC.
