Jordon Hudson compares herself to Taylor Swift’s publicist Tree Paine after Bill Belichick’s CBS debacle

Jordon Hudson thinks highly of herself.

The much-younger girlfriend of famed football coach Bill Belichick allegedly boasted on a phone call to two journalists that she is like Taylor Swift’s longtime power publicist, Tree Paine.

“I love that you said that I’m like Bill’s Tree Paine because I am,” the 24-year-old beauty queen reportedly told podcaster Charlotte Wilder, per Thursday’s episode of “The Sports Gossip Show.”

Wilder’s co-host, Madeline Hill, said on the show that Hudson’s compliment to herself was “iconic,” adding, “She is. I still stand by it.”

Paine has been a prominent figure in Swift’s career since 2014 and is widely considered one of the best publicists in Hollywood, given she has helped fight several of the pop superstar’s PR nightmares.

Hudson has a philosophy degree from Bridgewater State University and no professional public relations experience, according to her LinkedIn.

The recent college grad reportedly also told Wilder that Belichick — who first began his professional coaching career in the ’70s — has had a favorable public image recently because of her.

“Everybody loved Bill’s media presence before they found out that I was behind it,” she said, per the host.

However, in April, CBS leaked footage of Hudson overstepping during an interview Belichick was doing with journalist Tony Dokoupil. She said while sitting down in a chair off-camera, “We’re not talking about this,” when the former NFL coach was asked how the couple met.

The clip sparked tons of backlash, with talking heads like Megyn Kelly accusing the former cheerleader of “elder abuse” and even members of Belichick’s family voicing their concerns.

Jennifer Schmitt, the daughter-in-law of the North Carolina Tar Heels head coach, wrote via Instagram at the time, “Publicists act in a professional manner and don’t ‘storm’ off set delaying an interview.”

However, Hudson stood by her behavior, reposting several X posts that defended the pageant contestant for wanting to honor her boyfriend’s privacy and protect him from getting “screwed over by the media.”

Belichick, 73, for his part, claimed Hudson was just doing her job, saying in a statement obtained by Page Six that she has a “personal and professional relationship” with him and that she jumped in to “reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion.”

However, Wilder and Hill — who said Hudson called them to discuss their coverage of her Miss Maine pageant — said on their podcast that the entrepreneur did not conduct herself professionally.

“She wants intense control without understanding you will never have that so you’ve got to choose a different strategy,” Wilder said before dishing on the obstacles the co-hosts faced while trying to schedule an interview with Hudson for their podcast.

Hill added, “It feels like she’s just out on her own doing whatever she wants.”

The journalists also noted in the episode that Hudson allegedly even started off their initial call with an arrogant tone, saying, “It’s Jordon, the president of your universe.”

A rep for Hudson could not immediately be reached for comment.
