Radio host Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo has ripped Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick‘s relationship as a ‘dog show’ after the 24-year-old was captured stunningly interrupting the coach’s recent interview.
During the CBS Sunday Morning interview, which was to promote Belichick’s new book, Hudson (who was sitting just off-camera) vetoed a question from Tony Dokoupil about how the couple met.
TMZ later reported that Hudson, 24, interrupted the interview on several more occasions and once stormed out of the session – delaying shooting for around 30 minutes.
Hudson’s cringeworthy interjection has gone viral since being posted over the weekend, and on Tuesday, Russo took aim at her relationship with the 73-year-old coach.
‘This girlfriend of his, I mean I’m sorry – she’s a young kid, she’s 24 years of age,’ he began on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio.
‘She knows nothing about the media spotlight, especially the sports media spotlight. And it looks like she’s got Bill twirling around [her] finger. Let’s call it like we see it. This is a dog show. That’s what it looks like to me.’

Russo also suggested he would never let such an age-gap relationship fly with his own daughter, Kiera, who is also 24, while imagining how Belichick’s mentor, Bill Parcells, would have reacted to someone’s girlfriend strutting around the practice field in high heels.
‘Do you think there is any shape, way or form that Bill would allow a coach, or a player, or his mentor Parcells… to wear high heels running to a football practice?,’ Russo asked. ‘Can you see Bill Parcells allowing an assistant coach or a player to go to the conclusion of practice with his young girlfriend who’s wearing heels? Are you kidding me? Bill would go crazy.’
Those comments from Russo refer to Hudson being spotted in high-heeled boots at a practice earlier this month, appearing to help coordinate some sort of video production.
Following the release of Belichick’s CBS interview, Hudson on Tuesday shared a picture of an apparent April 10 email from the coach to members of his camp, which she captioned: ‘Full statement to be released later today.’
The message shows Belichick unhappy with unnamed media coverage surrounding his new book, albeit before his nightmare CBS interview that is now dominating the narrative around them.
‘I don’t think this is fantastic, but it probably will hype the book, which is clearly the ongoing theme here…,’ Belichick began his correspondence. ‘This is about what I expected from the media.’

He appears to take issue in particular with the mystery article’s focus on his admission that he ‘f***ed up’ during one of his many appearances at the Super Bowl with the Patriots.
‘We went through how important it was for me to put “I f***ed up” in the book, and of course, that is the feature of this article – which is mostly about admitting mistakes and talking about a Super Bowl mistake. I am fine with putting mistakes in the book, but I am certainly not surprised that of 260+ pages, that is what they would highlight,’ he continued, ripping into the promotion of his upcoming autobiography.
Hudson seems to have an increasingly large level of influence in Belichick’s professional life.
An email previously publicized by The Assembly showed that Belichick asked for her to be copied on all emails sent to him by UNC staffers, while The Athletic – citing an open records request – reported that her email signature lists her as ‘the chief operating officer of Belichick Productions.’
On Tuesday, a New York Post report said Belichick’s friends are ‘shaking their heads’ at his involvement with Hudson and have contacted him about it.
‘They are talking to him about her, but very gently because they know how deep in he is,’ the Post quotes an insider as saying. ‘She saw an opening and she took it.
‘This guy is known as being such a strong voice and in many ways autocratic — and here he is becoming mush in her hands and letting her direct everything. She is so much younger, so inexperienced and so lacking in perspective and professionalism.’
Ultimately, Russo described the CBS fiasco as ‘a complete disaster.’
