Bill Belichick's Ex Confronted Jordon Hudson, Threatened Miss Massachusetts At Party
Bill Belichick’s Ex Linda Holliday
Confronted Jordon Hudson At Christmas Party
… & Threatened Miss Massachusetts
Published
Bill Belichick‘s ex-girlfriend, Linda Holliday, ran into his current one, Jordon Hudson, while the two were at a Christmas party late last year … and TMZ Sports has learned their meetup was anything but friendly.
The intense encounter went down on Dec. 6 … at a “Stroll Party” in Massachusetts hosted by Dreamland — which describes itself as “Nantucket Island’s Year-Round Nonprofit Film, Performing Arts & Cultural Center.”
Holliday’s daughters — Ashley and Kat Hess, AKA The Hess Twins — were DJing the bash … which started at around 7 PM.
But, according to a Dreamland incident report we obtained, at around 9:30 PM — Holliday, who reportedly moved into a Belichick-purchased Nantucket home in 2024, contacted an event official with a Hudson-related issue.
The documents state Holliday was upset by the presence of Belichick’s current girlfriend … believing it was “inappropriate, since the event was widely advertised as a party headlined by her daughters.”
“She asked that I remove Ms. Hudson from the premises,” the official wrote in the report.
A short time later, according to the documents, Holliday was seen on security video confronting Hudson with a few of her friends right in the middle of a dance floor — where roughly 200 people were partying.
The documents state as the Dreamland official approached the scene, Holliday and her friends “backed away” as the person questioned Hudson.
“I asked Ms. Hudson if she thought it was a good idea to be there considering the clear animosity the above individuals felt towards her,” the official wrote in the docs. “She defended herself by saying she’d done nothing wrong, and it was her first time attending Christmas Stroll and wanted to attend the ‘big party’ going on that night, which happened to be the one featuring the Hess Twins.”
“She said she was not looking to cause any problems, but just wanted to go out and have fun with her friend,” who the report ID’ed as Melissa Sapini, Miss Massachusetts USA 2024.
After being reminded there were only a few minutes remaining in the party, Hudson agreed to leave — but as she and Sapini were walking out, the event staffer stated Hudson told them Holliday, who has ties to the pageant world, threatened Sapini while they were on the dance floor.
She said Holliday told Sapini if she “valued her current title, she should think twice about who her friends are.”
Holliday allegedly added that she “had many powerful friends in the pageant organization.”

The documents noted Sapini did not speak, but did begin to cry in the corner of the room while the conversation was going on.
A short time later, the event staffer returned to speak with Holliday, who said, “If this didn’t involve my girls, I don’t think this would have bothered me as much, but because it did the ‘momma bear’ in me came out.’”
Dreamland declined to issue a formal comment on the incident, though a spokesperson for the org. did tell us despite the heated nature of the matter, police never got involved and neither did event security. The rep added no one is facing any kind of ban … and all involved parties will be allowed back at future events.
We’ve reached out to Hudson and Holliday for comment, but multiple attempts to contact the two have been unsuccessful.
Holliday, of course, dated Belichick for nearly two decades … from 2007 to 2022. A short time after they split, Belichick got romantic with Hudson, whom he met on a plane ride in 2021.

The American Library Association has released its annual list of the most commonly challenged books at libraries across the United States.
According to the ALA, the 11 most frequently targeted books include several tied titles. They are:
1. Sold by Patricia McCormick
2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
3. Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe
4. Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
5. (tie) Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo
5. (tie) Tricks by Ellen Hopkins
7. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
8. (tie) A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
8. (tie) Identical by Ellen Hopkins
8. (tie) Looking for Alaska by John Green
8. (tie) Storm and Fury by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Many of these individual titles also appear on a 2024-25 report issued last October by PEN America, a separate group dedicated to free expression, which looked at book challenges and bans specifically within public schools.
The ALA says that it documented 4,235 unique titles being challenged in 2025 – the second-highest year on record for library challenges. (The highest ever was in 2023, with 4,240 challenges documented – only five more than in this most recent year.)
According to the ALA, 40% of the materials challenged in 2025 were representations of LGBTQ+ people and those of people of color.

In all, the ALA documented 713 attempts across the United States in 2025 to censor library materials and services; 487 of those challenges targeted books.
According to the ALA, 92% of all book challenges to libraries came from “pressure groups,” government officials and local decision makers. While 20.8% came from pressure groups such as Moms for Liberty (as the ALA cited in an email to NPR), 70.9% of challenges originated with government officials and other “decision makers,” such as local board officials or administrators.
In a more detailed breakdown, the ALA notes that 31% of challenges came from elected government officials and and 40% from board members or administrators. In its full report, the ALA states that only 2.7% of such challenges originated with parents, and 1.4% with individual library users.
Fifty-one percent of challenges were attempted at public libraries, and 37% involved school libraries. The remaining challenges of 2025 targeted school curriculums and higher education.

The ALA defines a book “ban” as the removal of materials, including books, from a library. A “challenge,” in this organization’s definition, is an attempt to have a library resource removed, or access to it restricted.
The ALA is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to American libraries and librarians.
