Jordon Hudson has sued Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, the owners of a Winthrop, Massachusetts rental property, over a leaked Ring camera video of Bill Belichick leaving the house. She filed the suit in Massachusetts on Friday, Nov. 6, according to court documents obtained by the California Post and reported on Nov. 9 by Page Six, the Daily Mail and Yahoo Sports.
What we know
- Jordon Hudson sued Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan in Massachusetts on Friday, Nov. 6, per court documents obtained by the California Post and reported by Page Six, the Daily Mail and Yahoo Sports.
- The complaint claims invasion of privacy and breach of contract, and seeks damages according to proof at trial, attorneys' fees and an order barring the defendants from disclosing her private information, per Page Six.
- Hudson alleges McDevitt texted her the Ring video during the June 2023 stay and later said she had sent it to a few people, per the complaint as reported by the Daily Mail and Yahoo Sports.
- McDevitt told the California Post she has no comment, per Page Six and Yahoo Sports. The complaint quotes McDevitt as saying 'we didn't release the video.'
Who says what
The Daily Mail and Yahoo Sports both report that, per the complaint, Hudson booked a four-night stay for herself and Belichick in June 2023. On the final night, she alleges, McDevitt texted her the Ring video along with a note about parking rules. The messages below are Hudson's account of what the hosts wrote. None has been tested in court.
"We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted."
Message the complaint attributes to McDevitt, as quoted by the Daily Mail
Page Six reports that the footage went viral on social media five months after the stay, and that McDevitt 'absolutely' denied having anything to do with the leak. The complaint then describes a May 2025 message in which, Hudson alleges, McDevitt wrote that 'we didn't release the video' but that the hosts 'had sent it to a few people initially.'
The complaint further alleges that McDevitt and Nolan later appeared on the 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' podcast and disclosed more private information about Hudson, per the Daily Mail. Hudson says she then reported the matter to Airbnb, which removed the property from its site for violating its privacy policy, according to Page Six. She alleges hostile texts followed, including one reading 'You're not even famous now! You are infamous.'
What she is asking for
Page Six reports that Hudson is suing for invasion of privacy and breach of contract, and asks for damages according to proof at trial, attorneys' fees, and an order prohibiting the defendants from disclosing or disseminating any personal or private information about her to any third party. Yahoo Sports says the counts are 'among other items.' No dollar figure appears in the reports read. Airbnb, the platform, is not described as a defendant in any of them.
The response
McDevitt told the California Post she has 'no comment' on the lawsuit, according to Page Six, the Daily Mail and Yahoo Sports. No public response from Nolan or from Belichick was found in the reports read.
What happens next
None of the three reports states a hearing date, a response deadline or a next filing. The defendants' formal answer to the complaint is not yet known.
Backstory
Page Six reported in a 2024 profile that Hudson and Belichick met on a flight in 2021, and that the relationship turned romantic sometime in 2023. Per Page Six's report this week, the pair split in late 2025, but the breakup did not make headlines until last month. The complaint, as the Daily Mail describes it, says the relationship was 'unknown to the public' at the time of the stay, and that the leaked video outed it.
As of Nov 9, 9:49 AM ET, what is confirmed is that three outlets report a filing dated Friday, Nov. 6, naming McDevitt and Nolan as defendants and citing court documents obtained by the California Post. What is pending: the defendants' answer, any court schedule, and any statement from Nolan or Belichick. The messages quoted above are Hudson's allegations as pleaded, and the reports read do not include the complaint itself.
