Bill Belichick has reportedly been trying to line up some lucrative gigs for his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée) Jordon Hudson.
Journalist Pablo Torre, who has been prolific in reporting about the Belichick-Hudson relationship, told Pro Football Talk that the former Patriots coach has tried to boost Hudson’s career.
“Bill Belichick has told multiple people that I’ve talked to directly – he has called her brilliant. He has tried to get her six-figure jobs on the media enterprises that he was also working for,” Torre said.
Torre, the host of Pablo Torre Finds Out, has been vocal in highlighting the significant role Hudson plays in Belichick’s life and business.
Torre noted that, sure, the 49-year age gap is something that draws attention. However, he notes that there’s a big story here. As the head coach at North Carolina, Belichick is the highest-paid public employee in the state. At the same time, Hudson has been acting as his agent, manager and PR specialist.
Torre disputed the idea that Hudson was merely handling “lower level stuff” like social media. He insists that Hudson is “at the top” of Belichcick’s operations.
“She is the CEO of Belichick Productions, even if that LLC is not actually incorporated anywhere. That’s the LinkedIn profile,” Torre said. “She is his idea mill and creative muse, per the acknowledgments page of his book. She is the person that you had to deal with if you were Matt (expletive) Damon. The whole idea of, ‘No, she’s doing the lower level stuff.’ No, this is at the top.”
Why mention Damon? Torre noted earlier in the interview that Damon and Ben Affleck were put in the usual position of having to negotiate with Hudson when they tried to get Belichick to be in their Dunkin’ Super Bowl commercial.
Per Torre, the meeting left the actors “flabbergasted.”
