Don’t come for Jordon Hudson’s bestie. Months after Hudson reportedly got into it with Bill Belichick’s ex-girlfriend at a Nantucket holiday party, Hudson defended her friend, Miss Massachusetts USA 2024 Melissa Sapini, who is said to have gotten wrapped up in the drama.
Last month, sources told multiple outlets that, back in December, Hudson got booted from a party after a “verbal incident” with Linda Holliday, who dated Belichick for 16 years. At the party, which Hudson attended with Belichick, sources said she was approached throughout the night by multiple people who asked why she would attend the event DJ’d by Holliday’s daughters. Eventually, she was asked to leave, purportedly by Holliday and others. According to an incident report taken by the venue, which TMZ published, Holliday told venue staff she was “upset” Hudson was there, and called her presence “inappropriate.”
Sapini attended the party with Hudson, per TMZ, and the venue’s incident report says Hudson told staff her friend “was seemingly threatened by Ms. Holliday.” Holliday is accused of telling Sapini that if she “valued” her title as Miss Massachusetts, “she should think twice about who her friends are,” noting that she has “many powerful friends in the pageant organization,” which made Sapini cry.

Now, Sapini is wrapping up her stint as Miss Massachusetts, a milestone Hudson marked on Tuesday with a heartfelt Instagram carousel ode to her fellow pageant-girl BFF. She also seemingly alluded to the December incident, saying that she knows Sapini “will keep shining, metamorphosing and taking up space … even when others threaten you and insist that you don’t belong, e.g. the ‘Nantucket Socialites.’” It wasn’t exactly a subtle jab — the “Nantucket socialites” phrasing comes directly from the headline of a “Page Six” story published in May, which said Hudson was being “iced out” of the Nantucket social scene by those whose allegiance lies with Holliday.
