The CBS interview ultimately touched on his relationship with Hudson.
“Unfortunately, the expectation was not honored during the interview,” Belichick mentioned within the assertion. “I used to be shocked when unrelated subjects had been launched and I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokoupil, and the producers that I most well-liked to maintain the dialog centered on the e book.
“After the occurred a number of occasions, Jordon, with whom I share each a private {and professional} relationship, stepped in to reiterate that time to assist refocus the dialogue. She was not deflecting any particular query or matter however merely doing her job to make sure the interview stayed on observe. A number of the clips make it seem as if had been had been avoiding the query of how we met, however now we have been open about the truth that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Seaside in 2021.
“The final eight-minute segment does not reflect the productive 35-minute conversation we had, which covered a wide range of topics related to my career. Instead, it presents edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative — that Jordan was attempting to control the conversation — which is simply not true.”

“That is about what I anticipated from the media. We went by way of how essential it was for me to place ‘I f–ked up’ within the e book, and naturally, that’s the characteristic of the article — which is most about admitting errors and speaking a few Tremendous Bowl mistake. I’m superb with placing errors within the e book, however I’m actually not shocked that of the 260+ pages, that’s what they’d spotlight.
“And of course, the ‘I f–ked up’ is the click bait they sued for the story. We’ll see what the title of the article is, which I noticed has been conveniently left out — do we have approval on that. I would approve this article if we can also approve the headline, which is actually more important than the article.”
It’s unclear what article Belichick was referring to.
