Bill Belichick was suspected to be a “creepy old man” or “drug dealer” by the owners of an Airbnb where the former Patriots head coach stayed with girlfriend Jordon Hudson.
Pablo Torre rented the New England-area unit where the couple stayed for one night on a vacation and spoke to the renters who own the ring camera footage.
“We saw the Ring video in the morning not knowing who this was, but it was an older gentleman with a very young woman who checked in the night before,” the female owner of the Airbnb told Torre, via Awful Announcing.
Asked what they thought of the older gentlemen, the male owner told Torre:
“She’s with this creepy old guy who’s either her relative or a drug dealer was the first thing [we thought]. Because of the age discrepancy, you go ‘he must be a freaking coke dealer. And then I started looking. I’m like, ‘that does look like Belichick.’
Hudson has told people the couple are engaged.
In an effort to better understand what was on the ring cam footage, the Airbnb owners sent the video to a friend. From there, it was leaked all over the place and even made the Tom Brady roast.
“I don’t think we ever really thought of it in that way until we probably saw when someone other than us released the video and then when it was on the Netflix special and then it came out a few more times,” the female owner said. “It’s kind of crazy now to think about.”
