It turns out that viewers weren’t the only ones confused by Jordon Hudson’s presence in a Dunkin’ Super Bowl commercial alongside Bill Belichick. A couple of her famous co-stars were as well.
In a recent discussion with Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, journalist Pablo Torre shed some light on what he described as bizarre negotiations to make the DunKings commercial happen. Torre reports that Hudson was acting as Belichick’s agent. Torre, the host of “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” has been notably plugged in with the Belichick-Hudson relationship.
“She was negotiating directly with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who were, I am told very reliably, flabbergasted that this was who they had to go through to get to the guy that they revered for decades as the greatest coach of all time,” Torre said.
Affleck and Damon both grew up in Massachusetts and have been vocal about their New England sports fandom. They’re plenty familiar with the former Patriots coach, who was famously media savvy in terms of keeping his life private.
That’s why it’s been especially jarring to see Belichick and Hudson so open about their public and professional relationship with his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée).
Torre described Hudson as “kind of Bill Belichick’s ‘momager,” a mom/manager akin to Kris Jenner figure, the architect behind the Kardashian-Jenner media empire.
Torre noted that Affleck and Damon were thrown off by Hudson’s role in negotiations, but pushed on to secure Belichick’s spot in the commercial.
However, the North Carolina coach didn’t come alone. Hudson reportedly “forced” her way into an on-screen role in the Super Bowl ad.
Hudson’s appearance on TV screens in the Super Bowl was one of many catalysts that vaulted her into the national conversation as one half of the most talked-about relationship in football.
