Wife of North Carolina DC Steve Belichick jabs Jordon Hudson over Nikki Glaser defense of CBS interview

The call is now coming from inside the house. Jennifer Schmitt, the wife of North Carolina defensive coordinator Steve Belichick and daughter-in-law to head coach Bill Belichick, appeared to call out Jordon Hudson for how she reacted during a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning.

In light of that now-viral CBS interview, during which Hudson — the 24-year-old girlfriend of 73-year-old Bill Belichick — allegedly stormed off due to a line of questioning she didn’t like, delaying the interview roughly 30 minutes according to TMZ, online commentary has run rampant. That has now reached Instagram.

On Wednesday, that included two of Belichick’s former New England Patriots players — Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski — defending Hudson’s actions during the CBS interview on their joint “Dudes on Dudes” podcast. In that, they described Hudson as a public relations representative.

“She was jumping into that conversation during the interview just like any PR person would jump in when there’s an unnecessary question that they probably didn’t go over in the pre-production meeting,” Edelman said. “From what I’ve heard, Jordon is playing the Berj (Najarian) role, handling all the football ops, handling a lot of (Belichick’s) social (media), a lot of his PR.”

Gronkowski added to it. The legendary tight end said, “she’s become his representative on top of being a girlfriend.”

Popular comedian Nikki Glaser then doubled-down in an Instagram comment to a clip of their discussion posted to the podcast’s account.

“100% this. She’s acting as his publicist,” Glaser posted. “Publicists do this during interviews. People are out for blood.”

The family could not stay quiet. Schmitt, Belichick’s daughter-in-law, provided her own commentary.

“Publicists act in a professional manner and don’t ‘storm’ off set delaying an interview,” Schmitt wrote from her personal IG account, @jenny__beee.

Seems not everyone inside the Belichick family is on board with all the drama surrounding the elder Belichick and his public relationship with Hudson. And Schmitt isn’t the only one raising concerns.

Charles Barkley concerned for longtime friend Bill Belichick amid Jordon Hudson drama

Charles Barkley has been “really good friends” with Bill Belichick since the early 1990s, long before the first-year North Carolina head football coach’s 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson was born. It’s because of that decades-long friendship that Barkley is now expressing some serious concern about what he’s seen with regard to Belichick’s very-public relationship with Hudson.

“Well, this is a very slippery subject for me, because Bill’s one of my really good friends,” Barkley told Dan Patrick on Wednesday’s The Dan Patrick Show. “I’m not sure what’s going on. He’s been a great friend for me for a long time. We’ve been great friends since he coached for the (Cleveland) Browns. I think he’s got to be very careful right now. This is starting to be on a very slippery slope. He’s the greatest football coach ever — him and Nick Saban. For college, Nick Saban. For Bill, the NFL.

“From what I’m hearing, it’s starting to be a very slippery slope. And I never talk about people’s personal relationships — that’s another rule I got. But, I will admit, I’m a little concerned with some of the stuff that’s going on. I might actually reach out to him to make sure everything’s good. But I am concerned from what I’m hearing, because it’s not a good look, right now, I’ll admit that.”

The 73-year-old Belichick’s romantic relationship with Hudson, nearly 50 years his junior, has raised plenty of eyebrows around the sports world, especially after a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning in which Hudson reportedly exerted some undue influence. The interview, which was intended to promote Belichick’s upcoming memoir, “The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football,” reportedly went off the rails when Hudson allegedly stormed off the set, delaying shooting for 30 minutes, according to a recent report from TMZ.

Hudson’s controlling influence over Belichick’s public persona has even led to some within the North Carolina program to a “growing sense this could become a problem,” per TMZ. Earlier this month, a report in The Athletic revealed Hudson is listed as the chief operating officer (COO) of Belichick Productions. However, she is not currently listed in any official capacity on North Carolina’s athletic department online staff directory according to the team’s website.
