Julian Edelman defended Jordon Hudson, Bill Belichick's girlfriend, amid criticism from her handling of an interview question during Belichick's book promotion. Hudson, described as Belichick's 'creative muse,' interrupted a CBS interview to refocus the conversation, which sparked backlash when the incident was aired. Edelman argued that the situation was misrepresented and that Hudson was acting in a professional capacity to manage Belichick's public relations. Belichick himself accused CBS of creating a false narrative by selectively editing the interview to portray Hudson as controlling. CBS countered by stating there were no restrictions on the interview topics, asserting transparency about the interview's scope with Belichick's team beforehand.

Julian Edelman publicly supported Jordon Hudson after she faced backlash for interrupting an interview question directed at her boyfriend, Bill Belichick, during a segment with CBS.

The interruption occurred during a promotional interview for Belichick's new book, which describes Hudson, who is 24 years old, as his 'creative muse.'

Critics accused Hudson of shutting down the interview question about how she and Belichick met, but Edelman likened her actions to those of a public relations professional managing an off-script inquiry.

Belichick broke his silence, claiming that the interview was edited to create a misleading narrative that suggested Hudson was controlling the conversation.

Edelman insisted that Hudson's interjection was professional and necessary, aligning her role with that of a manager handling public relations and football operations for Belichick.

Belichick revealed that his relationship with Hudson began on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021, countering the perception that they were evasive about their relationship's origins.

CBS responded to Belichick's accusations, maintaining that the interview was agreed upon without any preconditions and that the topics discussed were confirmed with his publisher prior to and after the interview.
