Jordon Hudson has filed a lawsuit over the viral Ring camera footage of Bill Belichick leaving a Massachusetts rental without a shirt. She alleges that the hosts violated her privacy by sharing the recording and information about her stay.
Hudson, 25, sued Elise McDevitt and Craig Nolan in Suffolk County Superior Court on November 6, according to PEOPLE, which obtained the complaint.
Her claims include invasion of privacy and breach of contract. The lawsuit says the disclosures exposed a relationship she and the former New England Patriots coach had deliberately kept private, subjecting her to unwanted attention and ridicule.
The hosts have denied personally releasing the original footage to the public. McDevitt declined to comment when contacted on November 8 by the California Post.

Hudson booked four nights at the couple’s Winthrop home in June 2023. On the final evening, she says, McDevitt sent a parking warning accompanied by footage of Belichick walking outside. Subsequent messages made clear that the host recognized him.
Hudson repeatedly requested confirmation that the recording would be deleted after checkout. The complaint quotes McDevitt’s eventual response: “We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted.”
After the footage circulated online later that year, Hudson sought an explanation. According to the complaint, McDevitt initially said she had not shared it with anyone. When Hudson raised possible legal action, McDevitt allegedly warned that the discovery process might be unwelcome to the person in the recording.
In a May 2025 exchange cited in the suit, McDevitt acknowledged forwarding the clip to acquaintances while trying to establish whether the man was Belichick. She maintained that she and Nolan had not posted it publicly and that they had deleted the original from their camera.
Pablo Torre’s Investigation Brought Another Video Into the Dispute
On May 23, 2025, Pablo Torre Finds Out published an episode investigating the recording’s origins. Torre rented the property himself, interviewed its owners and obtained a second doorbell-camera video, as Awful Announcing reported at the time. The episode also examined Hudson’s five-star review of the rental.
Hudson’s complaint challenges the hosts’ participation in that interview. She alleges that they requested anonymity for themselves while disclosing more private information about her visit and supplying additional footage to the journalist.
She says she subsequently reported the hosts to Airbnb, which removed their property listing over privacy-policy violations. The complaint describes messages that followed as hostile, including one in which McDevitt blamed Hudson for damaging their livelihood and said they were considering whom to speak to next.
Hudson Wants a Court Order Preventing Further Disclosures
The lawsuit also alleges that the hosts may still possess recordings or other private information about Hudson. She is seeking damages to be determined at trial, attorney fees and an order barring them from sharing such material with others. Los Angeles magazine reported that Belichick is not a plaintiff and that neither Airbnb nor Torre is named as a defendant.
Airbnb’s current privacy policy prohibits publicly posting community members’ private information, photographs or videos without their permission. Its enforcement options include warnings, suspending or removing listings, and suspending or removing accounts, depending on the conduct. The defendants had not formally responded to the suit by Monday morning, according to The Boston Globe.
