Overview

• Hudson initiated an unsolicited cold call to The Sports Gossip Show’s Charlotte Wilder at 9:07 p.m. on a Saturday in early August, introducing herself as “the president of your universe.”
• She and co-host Madeline Hill spent about five hours in FaceTime calls and texts discussing the hosts’ coverage of her Miss Maine pageant appearance.
• During the conversations, Hudson compared herself to Tree Paine, Taylor Swift’s publicist, and claimed credit for managing Belichick’s media narrative.
• Negotiations for an in-person interview collapsed after Hudson objected to the podcast’s move to The Athletic, ending with an emotional call in which she withdrew her participation.
• Bill Belichick insists Hudson handles only his personal media and has no role in UNC football, and players say her involvement has not been a distraction.
