Journalist Pablo Torre Responds to Jordon Hudson’s Threat to Sue Him

If Jordon Hudson plans to sue podcaster Pablo Torre, it hasn’t happened yet.

Torre, 40, addressed the story on his weekly “Offsides With Pablo Torre” segment for The Contrarian, released on Monday, December 1, insisting he was told the University of North Carolina has nothing to do with her legal threats.

“I can report that there has been no legal notice or letter or communique of any kind sent to me,” he told The Contrarian’s editor-in-chief Jen Rubin. “I have not been sued by Jordon Hudson despite her threatening to do so on Instagram last week, which is a fun sentence that I never get tired of saying out loud.”

Torre continued, “I can further add to the clarity of the dynamic that the University of North Carolina, who I contacted, has made clear to me that they have no part of any of the legal threats at all made by Jordon Hudson.”

Hudson, 24, is currently dating Tar Heels head football coach Bill Belichick. She publicly threatened legal action against Torre via Instagram on November 23, when she posted a selfie showing off her UNC All Access pass and a necklace with the word “banned” on it.

“P.S. I’m suing you @pstorre 🫶🏻,” she wrote in the caption.

The next day, Hudson took to X to point out what she called “one of the MANY inaccurate and materially defamatory reports about me by Pablo Torre.” In this instance, she showed alleged screenshots of a conversation she had with a UNC employee that would seem to disprove Torre’s allegation that she lied about her age to the university.

Torre later questioned the authenticity of the screenshots, editing their exposure to show they may have been doctored.

Torre also reported in May that North Carolina had banned Hudson from its football facilities — something the university publicly denied, and what likely inspired Hudson’s “banned” necklace.

“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,” Carolina Athletics said in a statement to Us Weekly on May 9. “Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.”

Meanwhile Torre doubled down on his reporting in a post via X.

“UNC can now choose to describe or change its position on Jordon Hudson’s involvement however it wishes, following the publication of our episode,” he wrote at the time. “We requested comment and filed dozens of FOIA requests that were not satisfied. And we stand by the specific reporting in our episode, which came from the highest levels of the football program.”

Torre added that when he saw Hudson’s Instagram threat, he “immediately” sent the university an email to clarify. In the letter, which he also shared via X on November 25, he points out that UNC has never “responded directly with corrections” to any of his reporting about Hudson. He acknowledged that the university did ask him to clarify that Hudson was, in fact, welcome at UNC facilities, though he stands by his reporting that she was banned at the time of publication.

Torre also gave North Carolina the opportunity to point out anything “inaccurate, inappropriate or somehow defamatory” that he has reported.

He has not indicated whether North Carolina got back to him with anything he needed to correct.
