Why Nantucket locals are hypocrites for shunning Jordon Hudson over Bill Belichick relationship
It emerged earlier this week that Bill Belichick 's 24-year-old girlfriend has been 'iced out' by the socialites of the wealthy island, who are staying loyal to the former NFL coach's ex Linda Holliday.
But one local resident has told People that those shunning Hudson have no right to do so and are 'talking s***' about her.
They said: 'They pretend they know nothing about Bill and Jordon yet talk s*** behind Jordon's back.
'Many of these people have been through the same thing as Linda has or done what Jordon did. They are no better. They just act like it.'
Another even claimed that they could envisage a time when Hudson is welcomed by locals, adding: 'Depending on how much influence Bill has on the island - and he has had a lot - they could be supportive at some point.'

But not everybody seems to share that opinion, with a third saying: 'Social and charitable residents of Nantucket live there for a reason. They want to be around people like them, and they like to be secluded in that beautiful place.
'They are not interested in socializing with Jordon Hudson, especially those who are friends with Linda Holliday. That is for sure.'
According to Page Six earlier this week, Hudson has supposedly been trying to work her way into the social and charity scenes on the exclusive spot that sits just off the coast in Massachusetts.
But Holliday is a major player in those circles and, as a result, locals are shunning Hudson's attempts to muscle in.
'She's trying to claim her stake in the social circle. That is Linda's thing,' a source said.
Another commented: 'People on Nantucket are pretty sophisticated. You could be sitting at Galley Beach restaurant and if [Hudson] walked in, 90 per cent of the place would roll their eyes. No one is going to be welcoming her with open arms.
'It's cliquey here. Very cliquey. You have the group that picks two or three charities, they're really into that and focused.
'They're not inviting people they don't think are going to be a good fit for them,' they continued.
'People are turned off by her. She's kind of young - who knows what happened when Linda was still [dating Belichick]. Did Jordan come into the picture?'
Belichick and Holliday, 61, broke up in September 2023 after 16 years together. He met Hudson on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021.
It seems Holliday is far from happy with their relationship, either. Reports on Tuesday night claimed she angrily confronted Hudson and threatened her friend while they were at a Christmas party in Nantucket.
TMZ published an an incident report filed by an employee at the party's venue, Dreamland.
It claimed Holliday was enraged by Hudson's presence at the December 6 event where Holliday's twin daughters - Ashley and Kat Hess - were DJing.
The incident report says Holliday thought Hudson being there was 'inappropriate, since the event was widely advertised as a party headlined by her daughters.'
The report claims that at 9:30pm, Holliday approached the member of staff and asked her to remove Hudson, 24, from the party.
While on the phone with the venue's executive director to discuss removing Hudson, staff spotted Holliday and friend Elin Hilderbrand - believed to be the New York Times bestselling author - approach Hudson on the dance floor with 'threatening body language and escalating aggression'.
But as the employee approached the dance floor, Holliday and her friends - which also included Heather Thorpe - decided to back away.
Holliday angrily confronted Hudson at a party in Nantucket back in December, it's claimed
'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 employee wrote in the report.
'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.'
Hudson was attending the event with Melissa Sapini, last year's winner of the Miss Massachusetts beauty pageant.
When realizing there were only a few minutes left of the party, Hudson is said to have agreed to leave if the employee accompanied them to the exit.
As they waited by the exit, Hudson supposedly then told the employee that Holliday threatened Sapini during the clash on the dance floor.
It was claimed Holliday told Hudson's friend that if she 'valued her current title, she should think twice about who her friends are' and that she 'had many powerful friends in the pageant organization.'
The report says Sapini didn't speak but broke down in tears in the room and was 'wiping her eyes frequently'.
After leaving Hudson and Sapini by the exit, the employee returned to find 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 told TMZ that, despite the tense altercation, police and security were never involved.
Hudson has come under fire in recent weeks over her relationship with the legendary NFL coach, 73, who recently took over the UNC Tar Heels.
There have been a string of damaging reports about her influence over Belichick, while a number of big names have lined up to slam the couple.
The criticism has snowballed ever since Belichick's infamous interview with CBS, when Hudson - sitting off-camera - interrupted to shut down questions about how they met.
She poked fun at their 49-year age gap in her latest Instagram post, which was from a romantic dinner on the water, just as the sun set.
In the image, the pair can be seen eating chicken wings, complete with 'Old Bay Seasoning' on the table in front of them.
Alongside the snap, Hudson - who has just turned 24 - made a subtle comment about their age gap, writing: 'Old Bay with my old bae'.
Hudson poked fun at her age-gap relationship with Belichick on Instagram while on a date
NFL insider Colin Cowherd suggested this week there is one very specific reason why Belichick's family would be uneasy about the relationship: money.
'Look, I don't buy into this whole idea that Bill is some old, feeble man who doesn't know what he's doing, OK?,' he said on his eponymous podcast.
'We've literally got Ring video proving Bill knows exactly what he's doing. Put your shirt on, Bill. And let's be honest, families aren't worried about Bill. They're worried about the will. When dad's worth over $100 million, suddenly everybody's got questions like, "Who's getting cut out?"
Belichick's net worth is estimated to be at $70million after he spent 24 seasons with the Patriots, leading the franchise to six Super Bowls.
And Daily Mail exclusively reported last month that Hudson had quietly amassed a $9million real estate portfolio.

Revealed: Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson's heartbreaking last words before his death at 79
Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson 's last words have been revealed by his son Willie - two months after his father's death. The TV personality had passed away on May 20 at the age of 79 following a battle with Alzheimer's - leaving fans devastated when his loved ones announced the sad news. Willie, 53, who notably starred alongside his late dad in the A&E reality series Duck Dynasty from 2012-2017, opened up about Phil's last words during an interview with TV Insider. 'Phil had been struggling with Alzheimer's for a while. It was on our mind for sure, his condition. It's part of life.' He then added, 'Phil had such a strong faith. He told us before, "Do not cry at my funeral. I know where I'm going."' Willie also discussed the multitude of messages the family has received since Robertson's death and further reflected on the impact the professional hunter had on others. 'What a life he lived. We heard that from thousands of people, the people he impacted. Phil would have wanted us to do exactly what we're doing. Whatever is a reflection of that faith, and our show is a reflection of our faith. Not overtly.' The star continued to the outlet, 'We're not trying to preach to people or convert people, but I think you can see the fruit in the faith of our show and our family and how it sticks together through good times and bad. 'That's why we are on this earth. As we move on, I think it's a reminder to all of us the time will come. I hope I have a funeral like that where people feel that way about me as well.' A sequel series to the original A&E show titled Duck Dynasty: The Revival premiered on the network on June 1 - only days after Phil's passing. Willie's wife Korie talked about how while Phil was not able to take part in filming the revival due to his heath battle, they were able to show a brief clip of the late star sending a thumbs up to Willie. She explained, 'Our show came out the week Phil passed. It was really special to our family that we had that one little clip. 'When filming this time around, he was already in the throes of Alzheimer's, so he wasn't able to be part of the show.' Korie continued, 'We did film that one little thing where he gave Willie the thumbs up. It was really special because for our family it felt like, okay, this is his opportunity to pass on the torch to us.' Nearly two months earlier, Phil's family issued a statement on Facebook to announce his death after a battle with Alzheimer's in his final months. 'We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord,' Willie's daughter-in-law Korie had written. 'Thank you for the love and prayers of so many whose lives have been impacted by his life saved by grace, his bold faith, and by his desire to tell everyone who would listen the Good News of Jesus.' She then added, 'We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again.' Other family members jumped to social media to pay tribute to Phil such as Willie and Jep Robertson, and the late star's granddaughter Sadie. Sadie also recently revealed the last words her grandfather had told her on Instagram and said: 'One of the last things he said to me was "full strength ahead!" Amen!' It came after she also shared a Bible verse which read: 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come – 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV.' The media personality continued, 'As I was sitting with Papaw Phil today, I thought about this verse… he has already experienced this on earth - going from dead to alive by the power of Christ! 'It was his testimony that changed his life, our families life, and thousands of others. Now he is experiencing it in the fullness. Fully alive in Christ. The new has come.' Late last year in December, Phil's family revealed that the Ducky Dynasty patriarch had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The news was shared to the Unashamed with The Robertson Family podcast at the time, with his son Jase explaining that the disease was in the 'early stages.' He expressed that Phil 'keeps saying, "I'm gonna get back to the podcast." But I'm like, "Well, Phil, you can barely walk around without crying out in pain."' Jase then shared, 'He just can't retain weight, he keeps losing weight, and he's just not able to do much.' Despite his health battles, the late star had kept up his humor with Jase saying that he had told his dad, 'You know, your memory is not what it once was.' And Phil responded with, 'Tell me about it.' Last week, it was revealed that Phil's widow Miss Kay has made an 'unbelievable' health comeback two months after her husband's heartbreaking death. Last month in June, her son Willie revealed that she was 'not in the best of health' as she mourned the loss of her husband and Duck Dynasty monarch. However, he recently joined wife Korie to offer a positive update on his mother during an interview with Fox News Digital published on Wednesday. 'She is doing so much better. It's unbelievable how she made the turn. I think she was just really kind of depressed after Phil passed away,' Willie told the outlet. 'You know, you've been with somebody for 60 years, over 60 years, so just losing her soulmate and she is getting older.' Willie added that his mother had been 'struggling' with Phil's death but has since 'bounced back, and she just went to church. I think she's going out of town this weekend. She's traveling more. She's on our show.' Korie also expressed how Miss Kay made an appearance on the Duck Call Room podcast this month as 'a proof of life video.' She further said that Kay has 'been with us for a few things that we've been filming this week. So that's been really special. Willie also reflected on his father's passing and stated, 'We were just happy knowing that he's gone on to be with the Lord, and he was so secure in that. 'That's pretty much all he talked about his whole life was whenever it ended, the faith and hope that he had. 'Also with Alzheimer's - the bad part is you have to watch them go down, but I think it does prepare you and I think she may have been even in denial, you know, like that it was actually gonna happen.' Willie explained that Kay 'just had to deal with it' but 'stuck close to the family.' The reality star continued, 'We were all there and all around her, and she was with different family members and just took care of her friends and the relationships she had.' He then expressed gratitude that his mother is able to have 'brighter days' but admitted not having his father around has left 'a big void.' 'And I know them two were so together in pretty much everything that they did, so I know it was hard for her.'

Comedian Bobby Lee believes he was too 'woke' for SATC reboot
A comedian who starred on the first two seasons of And Just Like That has suggested he was written out of the series for being too ' woke.' Bobby Lee, 53, played Jackie Nee on the Sex And The City sequel, but his storyline ended when Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) shifted her career focus. But in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lee said he believes he was axed along with other 'woke elements' for not fitting the vibe. 'Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that,' he told the publication during San Diego Comic-Con 2025 on July 24. He also touched on Sara Ramirez's departure. Ramirez, 49, a non-binary star who uses they/them pronouns, did not return for season 3 after their character, Che Diaz, was widely criticized as 'annoying' by viewers. 'I think Sara [Ramirez] didn't come back and some other people. They tried to put minorities in, and — I don't know. I never saw the show,' Lee said. A source close to the show told that 'as Carrie is no longer hosting a podcast, and instead focused on her novel, the storyline of characters involved in the podcast came to a conclusion.' Lee starred as Jackie Nee, Carrie's podcast co-host, on the first and second seasons of the show. When Carrie transitioned from podcast host to novelist, it not only concluded Lee's storyline but also marked the end for her podcast colleagues, including Franklyn Silvias (played by Ivan Hernandez) and Chloe (played by Ali Stroker). Despite his departure, Lee has fond memories of being on the show, and called his co-star Parker 'the nicest person I've ever met,' adding she made him feel 'so at ease.' 'I like everyone on there. It was fun. I never have bad blood with anybody. You know what I mean? I am nice. I show up on time.' Lee also joked that he doesn't 'even know why they asked' him to star on the show. 'I was super scared to do it. Because it wasn't my brand, really. You know what I mean? But I did it. I walked through the fear.' Lee previously shared how the show helped him get sober. 'I remember going there, being so high and drunk, and when I was reading the script I couldn't even understand what the f**l it was even saying. 'I remember saying to myself, "This is never going to happen again. I had to get sober. This is insane,"' he said in a 2023 podcast. In addition to Lee, the show also wrote out Karen Pittman, who portrayed Nya Wallace, Miranda's professor-turned-friend, and Ramirez's character, Che, the controversial love interest for Cynthia Nixon's Miranda Hobbes. Last January, insiders told that Ramirez had been dropped from the cast as many felt her character was a 'waste of airtime' and 'annoying' viewers. This came after Ramirez heavily suggested their time on the show was over for expressing pro-Palestinian beliefs. But a source close to the show ridiculed the suggestion, claiming Ramirez's head had been 'on the chopping block since last season' because their character 'held no value anymore' and was 'annoying.' 'Sara was not fired because they support Palestine and the ceasefire,' they told exclusively. 'Sara was fired because Che brought nothing to the show anymore. They were on the chopping block since last season.' 'After Che split with Miranda, the character really held no value anymore and fans found them annoying. 'The storyline as a struggling comedian was a waste of airtime and Sara knew it.' 'Sara needs to accept that this is not Grey's Anatomy, and her character was not a pivotal part of the storyline,' the source added. Che, a newcomer to the spin-off series who introduced themselves as a 'queer nonbinary Mexican Irish diva,' struck up a relationship with Miranda after she abandoned her marriage to husband Steve Brady. The character was accused of being the 'worst' on the series, which saw Miranda reunited on screen with Carrie and Charlotte York, played by Kristin Davis. Viewers found the character 'cringe' and accused them of '[setting] back non-binary representation 70 years.' Ramirez appeared to accuse the show of dropping them over their political views, in an Instagram rant the night after the Emmy Awards. 'Our industry is so duplicitous,' they said. 'While they give awards away, casting directors and agents are making blacklists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians in Gaza to ensure they will not work again.' And Just Like that premiered in 2021 and is on its third season. The show airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max.

Mariners' George Kirby seeks another gem in encounter vs. Angels
July 26 - Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby will make his second start of the season against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday in Anaheim, Calif. The first one went very well for Kirby, who struck out a career-high 14 batters and didn't walk one in seven innings of a 3-2 victory on June 8. He allowed a two-run homer by Taylor Ward and one other hit overall before exiting after just 96 pitches. "That's the guy he can be," catcher Mitch Garver said of Kirby (4-5, 4.65 ERA). "It's probably one of the most important starts we've had." Another big one comes Saturday night as the Mariners look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss in 10 innings to the Angels. Seattle is clinging to the second wild-card slot in the American League. Shortstop Zach Neto celebrated his first-ever bobblehead night with the first walk-off hit of his career, a two-out single that drove in LaMonte Wade Jr. from second base. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for Los Angeles, which closed to within 4 1/2 games of the final wild-card spot. "It means everything, seeing everybody with my bobblehead. It's very special," Neto said after getting doused with Gatorade. "We needed this win. Flush it at midnight and come back in tomorrow and try to do the same thing." "That was tremendous," interim Angels manager Ray Montgomery said. "Bobblehead nights (are) good omens. I'm sure he was excited about it. That was good. It was fun. I'm glad he got the opportunity to do it." The question is will it stop the Angels from being sellers at the trade deadline? Several media outlets reported that Los Angeles was shopping closer Kenley Jansen, third baseman Yoan Moncada, utility infielder Luis Rengifo, starting left-hander Tyler Anderson and Ward. Anderson (2-6, 4.43 ERA) is scheduled to start Saturday night for the Angels. He is 1-3 with a 5.01 ERA in 10 career starts against the Mariners. He picked up the loss in Kirby's gem on June 8 allowing three runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings. Kirby is 5-4 with a 3.52 ERA in nine career starts against Los Angeles, including 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA in six starts in Anaheim. Seattle's runs on Friday came on solo homers by center fielder Julio Rodriguez. It was the fifth multi-home run game of Rodriguez's career as he became the third player in Mariners' history to have five or more multi-homer games by the age of 24. The other two were Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. (14) and Alex Rodriguez (14). "Incredibly talented player," Seattle manager Dan Wilson said of Julio Rodriguez. "He continues to let that talent shine. Just really seeing the ball well right now. Couple of homers off a tough opponent tonight in (Jose) Soriano. Just thought he was on each pitch and seeing the ball well, and when he got his pitch he was able to drive it." First baseman Josh Naylor, obtained in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, flew across the country from Pittsburgh on Friday and had a single in four at-bats in his Mariners' debut. --Field Level Media
