Story summary

Jordon Hudson, Bill Belichick's ex-girlfriend, filed a lawsuit on November 6, 2023, in Suffolk County Superior Court against Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, the hosts of an Airbnb property she stayed at in Winthrop, Massachusetts. The suit alleges that the couple leaked Ring doorbell camera footage showing Belichick shirtless, violating Hudson's privacy. During her stay in June 2023, McDevitt sent Hudson a video link along with parking instructions, despite Hudson’s request to delete it. Later, the video circulated on social media, revealing their relationship publicly before they were ready for it to be known. Hudson claims that McDevitt and Nolan's actions caused her significant distress and violated her privacy rights.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
