North Carolina has said that Hudson was still welcome at the team's football facilities after a report she had been banned.

Bill Belichick said he is keeping his relationship “off to the side” after a viral interview sparked concerns that the former Patriots coach had allowed his 24-year-old paramour to micromanage his business interests.

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