Life on Nantucket isn’t always as picturesque as the island’s famous beaches and charming cottages suggest.
Recently, the spotlight has fallen on the local social circle, which appears to be taking a hard line against Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of NFL legend Bill Belichick.
According to reports, Hudson has been effectively frozen out by the island’s elite, who remain loyal to Belichick’s ex-partner, Linda Holliday.
Local Resident Calls Out Hypocrisy Among Nantucket Socialites
One Nantucket insider didn’t hold back, labeling those snubbing Hudson as “hypocrites.”
This resident claimed that many of the people turning their backs on Hudson have faced similar situations themselves or made choices just as questionable.
They said, “They pretend they know nothing about Bill and Jordon but talk behind Jordon’s back all the time.
They are no better than she is — they just act like it.”
The same source even hinted at the possibility of Hudson being embraced by the community one day, depending largely on the influence Bill Belichick wields on the island.
“He’s had a lot of sway here,” they noted, “so maybe support will come eventually.”
Not Everyone Sympathizes With Hudson’s Struggles
However, not all voices are so supportive. Another local pointed out that Nantucket’s social and charitable residents are a close-knit group that prefers to keep their circles small and exclusive.
“They want to be around people like themselves,” this person said, “and they’re definitely not interested in socializing with Jordon — especially those friends loyal to Linda.”
Hudson’s Attempts to Break Into Nantucket’s Social Scene Face Resistance
According to Page Six, Hudson has been trying to find her footing within Nantucket’s influential social and charity circles — a tough challenge given that Linda Holliday holds a dominant position in those communities.
A source told them, “She’s trying to stake her claim in a scene that Linda owns.”
Another insider painted a vivid picture of the chilly reception Hudson receives: “If she walked into a popular restaurant like Galley Beach, 90 percent of the people would roll their eyes.
It’s cliquey here. The main group focuses on a few charities, and they don’t invite people they think won’t fit.”
There’s also speculation about the origins of the tension, with questions swirling about whether Hudson’s relationship with Belichick started while he was still with Holliday.
A Tense Christmas Party Clash Between Hudson and Holliday
Things boiled over at a December 6 Christmas event at Dreamland, a popular Nantucket venue, where Holliday and her twin daughters were headlining as DJs.
An incident report obtained by TMZ detailed how Holliday confronted Hudson and a friend, Melissa Sapini — last year’s Miss Massachusetts — with reportedly threatening behavior.
Holliday allegedly felt Hudson’s presence at the party was “inappropriate” and asked staff to remove her.
While talking to venue management, staff noticed Holliday and her friends approaching Hudson with aggressive body language but backing off when confronted.
Hudson explained she was just there to enjoy the event and had no intention of causing trouble.
Eventually, Hudson and Sapini agreed to leave, but not before Hudson claimed Holliday threatened Sapini, warning her to be careful about her associations because Holliday had “many powerful friends” in the pageant world.
Belichick and Hudson’s Relationship Under Scrutiny
This isn’t the first time Hudson has faced public backlash.
Since the relationship between Belichick, now 73, and Hudson became public, there’s been a flood of criticism.
The couple’s significant 49-year age gap, Hudson’s perceived influence over the NFL coaching legend, and their public appearances have sparked controversy.
One memorable moment was a CBS interview where Hudson interrupted to shut down questions about how she and Belichick met, further stirring speculation.
In a recent Instagram post, Hudson joked about their age difference, captioning a romantic dinner photo, “Old Bay with my old bae,” referencing the seasoning on the table and their relationship age gap.
Financial Motives May Fuel Family Concerns
NFL commentator Colin Cowherd weighed in with a different perspective, suggesting family concerns about the relationship might be driven by money rather than genuine worry for Belichick.
Cowherd explained, “Families aren’t worried about Bill being old or feeble. They’re worried about the will.
When someone’s worth over $100 million, suddenly questions about inheritance come up.”
Belichick’s estimated net worth stands at around $70 million, largely accumulated during his 24 seasons coaching the New England Patriots and leading them to six Super Bowl titles.
Interestingly, reports have also revealed Hudson quietly building a real estate portfolio worth around $9 million, adding another layer to the ongoing family drama.
