In a statement released by North Carolina, Belichick claimed there was a “false narrative” that emerged following a “selectively edited” interview. The former Patriots coach said the eight-minute clip that aired was from an sit down that lasted more than half an hour and misrepresented Jordon Hudson’s role.

In a statement released through UNC, Belichick said his girlfriend Jordon Hudson interrupted the interviewer because Belichick had not agreed to talk about anything other than his new book.
