Former NFL coach’s ex-files lawsuit over Airbnb doorbell video
TL;DR
- Jordon Hudson sues two Airbnb hosts over 2023 doorbell footage
- Video showed shirtless Bill Belichick, not Hudson
- Hudson alleges privacy invasion and unwanted publicity
- Hosts allegedly shared footage despite promises to delete
- Airbnb removed hosts after complaint
Jordon Hudson, who was in a relationship with former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, filed a civil complaint in Massachusetts against two Airbnb hosts, Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan, over a doorbell camera video captured in the summer of 2023.
The footage showed Belichick stepping shirtless onto a porch; Hudson was not in the video but was later identified publicly as his partner, which she says caused unwanted publicity and ridicule.
According to the lawsuit, the hosts initially texted Hudson the video and promised to delete it, but later admitted they had shared it with a few people, claiming the clip was never fully erased.
Hudson’s attorneys argue the hosts’ actions constitute egregious violations of her privacy, and the complaint notes that Airbnb removed the hosts from its platform after the incident was reported.
Bill Belichick is not named as a defendant, and attempts to reach him and the hosts for comment have not yielded responses.
Why It Matters
The case highlights privacy concerns for individuals staying in short‑term rentals, a service widely used by travelers in the United States, Canada and India. It also underscores how personal footage can become public, leading to legal disputes that may affect how hosts handle guest recordings and data.
