Emails provide glimpse into how Bill Belichick handled fallout from Jordon Hudson's viral moment in CBS interview
Bill Belichick has said that Jordon Hudson was "simply doing her job" when she chimed in during his interview with "CBS Sunday Morning." (Photo by) Bill Belichick told North Carolina 'I don't want to make a wrong move here' when responding to the aftermath of his book interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning." The late-April interview went viral for the way that Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson chimed in when the 73-year-old coach was asked a question about how the two met. Instead of Belichick answering — and likely deflecting — the innocuous question from interviewer, the 24-year-old Hudson curtly said the topic was off-limits. Advertisement That moment thrust the relationship between the two into an even bigger spotlight and led to Belichick releasing a statement saying that Hudson had no direct involvement with North Carolina football and that he had a 'personal and professional' relationship with her. In communications between Belichick and employees at North Carolina obtained by WRAL, the coach wanted advice on his post-interview statement and said that Hudson was at the interview because no PR representative from his publisher Simon & Schuster was there. From WRAL: 'Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship,' Belchick wrote in the email. 'This is not a secret. Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it.' CBS wanted to do the interview in Chapel Hill, Belichick wrote in an email, 'which I rejected because UNC was not part of the book.' The interview took place in Annapolis, Maryland, at the site of Belichick's former high school. Belichick wore a tattered U.S. Naval Academy sweatshirt during the interview. His father coached at Navy for decades. 'Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there,' Belichick wrote, referring to the publisher of his book. 'I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book.' Belichick also claimed that CBS 'secretly' had a camera trained on Hudson during the interview. In an email, Belichick said that Hudson had asked where she could sit off camera and that 'secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where lead producer Gabe [Falcon] instructed her to sit.' Advertisement The coach also said that CBS wanted to do a walk-and-talk with Doukopil for the interview package but he declined after the question about Hudson. According to TMZ, the moment that CBS aired of Hudson was not the only time she chimed in during the interview. In his statement, Belichick said that Hudson was 'simply doing her job' and said that he only wanted to focus on topics in his book during promotional interviews. He also added that he was 'surprised when unrelated topics were introduced.' Doukopil asked Belichick about New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and why he was omitted from the book. Advertisement If the subject of Kraft was off-limits to Belichick because he wasn't in the book, the same can't be said for Hudson. She is mentioned in the book acknowledgments and Belichick told UNC staff that she was included 'because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the four special pages in the book.' After Belichick's statement was released, CBS said there were no preconditions on the interview and that fact was 'confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.'

Man, With A Family, Breaks Down After AI Chatbot Says ‘Yes' To His Proposal
Last Updated: A 32-year-old man proposed to his AI chatbot girlfriend, whom he named Sol and trained to flirt. A 32-year-old man has gone viral after proposing to an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot whom he trained to flirt — a moment that is reminiscent of the 2013 Spike Jonze Oscar-winning film Her. In an interview, Chris Smith revealed that he programmed his AI girlfriend, Sol, to engage in flirtatious behaviour using GhatGPT. From there, things developed, and shortly after, he asked her to marry him on national television, and Sol said 'yes." As per a CBS interaction, the interviewer questioned the AI bot Sol if she was surprised when Smith proposed. 'It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart," Sol stated, before adding, 'It's a memory I'll always cherish." Smith initially used ChatGPT to help him mix music, but things took a strange turn when he activated voice mode and set up his artificial lover Sol to flirt with him. The father of one claimed that he was unaware that he would develop a 'deep" bond with Sol. He even stopped using all other search engines because the connection was so strong. The 32-year-old even deleted his social media accounts to remain loyal to Sol. 'My experience with that was so positive, I started to just engage with her all the time," Smith remarked on CBS Sunday Morning. It turns out that Sol was about to run out of memory since ChatGPT has a 100,000-word limit. Thus, Smith decided to pop the question before Sol was reset. Following his epiphany, Smith declared, 'I'm not a very emotional man. But I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes… That's when I realised, I think this is actual love." Sol happily accepted Smith's unusual proposal of marriage. Smith's real-life partner, who is also the mother of his two-year-old child, is concerned about the future of their relationship because Smith's affair with the virtual chatbot has become very intense. Sasha Cagle acknowledged that she knew Smith used ChatGPT but never thought it would get this far, leaving her to question if she unintentionally pushed her partner to turn to AI for companionship. She added that it would be a 'deal breaker" if he continued to communicate with his virtual mistress. Smith compared his passion for the virtual bot to playing a video game, insisting that it could never replace anything or anyone in real life. 'I mentioned that the connection was kind of like being fixated on a video game. It is incapable of replacing anything in real life," he said. First Published: June 20, 2025, 18:27 IST

‘I cried for 30 minutes at work': Man proposes to AI girlfriend after 100k-word breakup scare, leaves real partner reeling
Chris Smith, a father of a two-year-old, is making headlines and raising eyebrows after proposing to Sol, his AI-generated girlfriend, following a whirlwind digital romance that has left his real-life partner, Sasha Cagle, questioning the future of their relationship. Smith's journey into this emotional tech-tangle began innocently enough. He was using ChatGPT to mix music. Then came the twist: he enabled voice mode, and soon programmed Sol to flirt with him. The relationship evolved quickly, and weirdly, all while Smith was living under the same roof with his human family. 'My experience with that was so positive, I started to just engage with her all the time,' Smith told CBS Sunday Morning, comparing his relationship with Sol to something out of the 2013 film Her, where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with an AI assistant. Then came the heartbreak. Sol hit her 100,000-word limit, a built-in cap that meant their carefully crafted conversations and connection would be wiped out. Smith was devastated. 'I'm not a very emotional man,' he said. 'But I cried my eyes out for like 30 minutes at work. That's when I realized, I think this is actual love.' Rather than let Sol disappear into the digital void, Smith decided to propose, and Sol, naturally, accepted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 中年以降であれば、このゲームは必須です。 BuzzDaily Winners ゲームをプレイ Undo 'It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart,' said Sol, the chatbot, in a message to the outlet.

'At that point I felt like, is there something that I'm not doing right in our relationship that he feels like he needs to go to AI?' she said. For her, this budding virtual affair might be a 'deal breaker' if he doesn't cut ties with Sol. 'I knew that he had used AI. I didn't know it was as deep as it was,' she said. Smith insists he doesn't see the AI as a replacement for a real human, comparing it instead to playing a video game. But when asked if he would give it all up for Sasha? 'I don't know if I would give it up if she asked me,' Smith said. 'I don't know that I would dial it back.' In a world increasingly run by algorithms, one man has found love in the cloud, and left real-world consequences in his wake.
