The bizarre saga surrounding Bill Belichick , Jordon Hudson and the media got a little bit weirder Tuesday.
Hudson, Belichick's girlfriend, posted a screenshot of an email from the former New England Patriots coach in which he complains about the media cherry picking juicy details from his upcoming book, "The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football."
"This is a book about how I did my job, and lessons from my 50 years in and around the NFL – not a bathroom book that highlights my mistakes," Belichick wrote.
You can see the full email on Hudson's Instagram page , along with a message from the 24-year-old to expect a "full statement to be released later today." In recent months, Hudson appears to have taken on an influential role in handling Belichick's public image.
In the email, Belichick appears to take issue with an article that pulled the phrase "I (expletived) up" as "the click bait they used for the story."
"This is about what I expected from the media," Belichick wrote.
It is unclear which story Belichick is referring to. Advance reviews of the book have been limited. The Boston Globe's Ben Volin notably wrote a review of the book on April 9, but did not put much emphasis on that quote.
The email, which was sent on April 10, appears to be sent to Hudson along with Richard Pine of Inkwell Management and Berj Najarian, Belichick's long-time right-hand man. Other recipients include individuals named David, Jofie and "Michael.
"I have, at times reluctantly, gone along with the title, cover, and language in the book. I am not going to be the conductor of a hype train in the book promotion – we have enough hype to work with."
The leaked email comes on the heels of an awkward interview Belichick held with CBS to help promote his book. Hudson made headlines when she interrupted the interview to shut down a line of questioning about their relationship.
When Belichick was asked how the two met, Hudson in cut in from off camera to say, "We're not talking about this."
According to Pro Football Talk , Hudson interrupted the interview multiple times.
