Overview
- Photos published by TMZ show Hudson standing beside Bill Belichick at the Feb. 7 North Carolina–Duke game wearing an Orchids of Asia Day Spa T‑shirt.
- The Jupiter, Florida spa was central to the 2019 investigation that led to charges against Patriots owner Robert Kraft, which prosecutors dismissed in 2020 after key video and audio were excluded.
- Multiple outlets and observers read Hudson’s wardrobe choice as a pointed jab at Kraft in the context of Belichick’s strained relationship with the owner.
- The appearance marked Belichick’s first public outing with Hudson since he was passed over for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
- Belichick did not comment during the outing, and the moment drew added attention as Kraft’s Patriots prepared to play in Super Bowl 60.
