Bill Belichick Family Member Takes Aim at His Girlfriend

Bill Belichick's daughter-in-law has weighed in on the controversy surrounding his girlfriend Jordon Hudson and her behavior during his CBS Sunday Morning interview.

Jennifer Schmitt Belichick, who is married to Belichick's son Steve Belichick, posted the comment on an Instagram post, and she didn't take Hudson's side.

"The Belichick interview is being blown out of proportion," the original post reads.

In it, former New England Patriots players Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski defended Hudson in the April 30 episode of their Dudes on Dudes podcast. Edelman said that Hudson interjected during the interview "just like any PR person would jump in when there's an unnecessary question."

Comedian Nikki Glaser then jumped in, also defending Hudson. She responded in the comment thread, "100% this. She’s acting as his publicist. Publicists do this during interviews. People are out for blood."

That's when Schmitt Belichick decided to weigh in, taking aim at Belichick's much-younger girlfriend. Steve is one of his kids with his ex-wife.

"Publicists act in a professional manner and don’t 'storm' off set delaying an interview," she wrote.

Another person then responded to Schmitt Belichick, writing, "Safe to say you don’t approve? Lol." Wrote another to Schmitt Belichick, "Preach (but also save him)."

Belichick's daughter-in-law's Instagram page is set to private.

Her comment appears to be a response to a report by TMZ Sports, which reported that Hudson "stormed out of the room" during the interview Belichick gave to CBS about his new book, delaying "shooting for 30 minutes."

The controversy over the interview started when CBS shared a clip showing Hudson shutting down a question about how the pair met (they've said previously that they met on an airplane).

“We’re not talking about this,” she said in that clip, according to Page Six.

Bill Belichick has defended Hudson in a lengthy statement, according to Page Six. He alleged that CBS had promised to focus on the topics in his book and then veered into areas that were not agreed upon instead.

“She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track,” he said of Hudson, according to Page Six.

According to People, Steve Belichick married Jennifer Schmitt in 2017, and they have four kids together.
