Journalist Pablo Torre Addresses Jordon Hudson’s Threat of Legal Action
If Jordon Hudson intends to take legal action against podcaster Pablo Torre, that action has not yet occurred.
Torre, aged 40, discussed the situation on his weekly “Offsides With Pablo Torre” segment for The Contrarian, released on Monday, December 1, emphasizing that he has been informed the University of North Carolina is not involved in her legal threats.
“I can confirm that I have not received any legal notice, letter, or communication of any kind,” he stated to The Contrarian’s editor-in-chief Jen Rubin. “I have not been sued by Jordon Hudson, despite her claiming to do so on Instagram last week, which is a statement I find amusing to say.”
Torre elaborated, saying, “Further clarity on the matter: the University of North Carolina, whom I contacted, has expressly stated to me that they have no connection to any legal threats made by Jordon Hudson.”
Hudson, 24, is currently in a relationship with Tar Heels’ head football coach Bill Belichick. She made a public legal threat against Torre on Instagram on November 23, showcasing a selfie with her UNC All Access pass and a necklace that read “banned.”
“P.S. I’m suing you @pstorre 🫶🏻,” she captioned alongside the selfie.
The following day, Hudson posted on X, addressing what she deemed “one of the MANY inaccurate and materially defamatory reports about me by Pablo Torre.” Here, she shared alleged screenshots of a conversation with a UNC employee that seemed to contradict Torre’s claim that she misrepresented her age to the university.
Torre later raised concerns about the credibility of the screenshots, suggesting they may have been manipulated.
In May, Torre also reported that North Carolina had banned Hudson from its football facilities — a claim that the university publicly refuted, presumably leading to Hudson’s “banned” necklace.

“Though Jordon Hudson is not an employee of the University or Carolina Athletics, she is permitted access to the Carolina Football facilities,” Carolina Athletics noted in a statement to Us Weekly on May 9. “Jordon will continue to handle all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand, separate from his duties with Carolina Football and the University.”
Meanwhile, Torre reaffirmed his reporting in a post on X.
“UNC can now choose to describe or alter its position on Jordon Hudson’s involvement however it desires, following our episode’s release,” he wrote. “We requested comments and submitted numerous FOIA requests that went unanswered. We uphold the specific reporting within our episode, sourced from the highest levels of the football program.”
Torre added that upon seeing Hudson’s Instagram threat, he “immediately” emailed the university for clarification. In that email, which he also shared on X on November 25, he mentions that UNC has never “responded directly with corrections” to any of his reporting regarding Hudson. He acknowledged that the university suggested he clarify that Hudson was indeed welcome at UNC facilities, even as he stands by his prior report that she had been banned at the time of its publication.
Torre also provided North Carolina with the chance to point out anything “inaccurate, inappropriate, or somehow defamatory” in his reporting.
He has not indicated whether North Carolina responded to him with any necessary corrections.
