Belichick addressed claims that his girlfriend Jordon Hudson was an overbearing presence throughout a “CBS Sunday Morning” function. One clip specifically confirmed Hudson seemingly interrupting the interview to close down a query about how she and Belichick met, which went viral on-line.
In his assertion, Belichick claimed that he had made clear to his publicist that he would solely do interviews relating to the content material of his new e book, however CBS and interviewer Tony Dokoupil didn’t honor that request, and that the interview was selectively edited to make Hudson look controlling.
“I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokoupil, and the producers that I most well-liked to maintain the dialog centered on the e book,” Belichick mentioned within the assertion. “After this occurred a number of occasions, Jordon, with whom I share each a private {and professional} relationship, stepped in to reiterate that time to assist refocus the dialogue. She was not deflecting any particular query or matter however merely doing her job to make sure the interview stayed on observe. A few of the clips make it seem as if we had been avoiding the query of how we met, however now we have been open about the truth that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Seaside in 2021.
“The ultimate eight-minute section doesn’t replicate the productive 35-minute dialog we had, which coated a variety of subjects associated to my profession. As a substitute, it presents selectively edited clips and stills from just some minutes of the interview to recommend a false narrative — that Jordon was making an attempt to manage the dialog — which is solely not true.”
