Hudson sues couple over $0 shirtless video leak

Jordon Hudson filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts on Friday against Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, alleging they leaked a video of Bill Belichick leaving their rental home without a shirt. The complaint accuses the couple of invading her privacy and breaching their contract by sharing the footage.

The dispute began during a four-night stay at the Winthrop residence in June 2023. On the final evening, McDevitt and Nolan texted Hudson a clip from their Ring doorbell camera. The message noted that Hudson should not forget to leave the parking pass. A follow-up text stated, "It’s clear who is on the video … I’ll leave it at that."

Hudson requested that the hosts delete the clip. McDevitt replied that they would remove it from the Ring app but added that videos are never totally deleted. Five months later, the footage of the former New England Patriots coach went viral on social media. At that time, McDevitt told Hudson she had no idea who released the file.

The lawsuit states that the leak led to false tabloid stories and intense ridicule for Hudson. She is seeking damages based on proof at trial, attorneys’ fees, and a court order stopping the defendants from sharing any private information about her with third parties.

In 2025, McDevitt allegedly told Hudson that she assured the couple did not release the video. She said she had initially sent the clip to a few people to verify if it was Belichick and that she deleted it from the camera as promised. McDevitt also noted that the hosts never confirmed their home was the location on social media.

McDevitt told the California Post on Monday that she has no comment on the lawsuit. Nolan and McDevitt are named as the defendants in the court documents.
