Pablo Torre, Bill Simmons Trade Words Over Belichick-Hudson Reporting

What’s beef?

Is it when you need two gats to go to sleep, or is it when two prominent sports media personalities aim at each other over tweets?

It’s unclear if Bill Simmons and Pablo Torre truly dislike each other, but it does appear that the two have a difference of opinion.

Pablo Torre, formerly of ESPN and Sports Illustrated, has found a new home at Meadowlark Media in recent years. Most prominently, Torre hosts Pablo Torre Finds Out, a digital show diving into trending topics and hot-button issues across sports, entertainment, and politics. Torre and his team have examined everything from the relationship between the NFL and Donald Trump to the controversial Prince documentary from Ezra Edelman. Along the way, the show has been nominated for a Peabody Award and amassed more than 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. However, the show’s recent episodes about the relationship between University of North Carolina Head Football Coach Bill Belichick and his significant other, Jordon Hudson, have seemingly attracted more mainstream media attention than any other previous investigation.

On Friday, May 9, 2025, Pablo Torre Finds Out released a new episode called “Investigating Belichick’s Girlfriend: The Power of Jordon Hudson, Revealed.” In the widely viewed episode, Torre reports that Hudson had been banned from football facilities at the University of North Carolina.

“Pablo Torre spoke to 11 sources who’ve dealt with Bill Belichick’s girlfriend directly — and the Jordon Hudson story is even weirder than it seemed on the viral CBS interview. There is deep concern that she is destroying the legacy and reputation of the greatest coach ever, even if she’s been banned from the UNC football facility,” the episode’s description reads, as of June 2, 2025, at 4 p.m. EST.

Within hours of the episode being released, the University of North Carolina released a statement refuting Torre’s reporting.

“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 reads.

Adding to the statement, the 24-year-old Hudson posted then-deleted a retort to Torre’s reporting.

“Pablo Torre’s ‘findings’ have been nothing short of factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory[,] and targeted. Can y’all please stop giving credibility to this ‘reporter’?”

Despite pushback from Hudson and the University of North Carolina, Torre stood firm in his reporting.

“I find it bizarrely appropriate, at this point, that Jordon Hudson would post this and then very quickly delete it. But to be perfectly clear: I stand by our reporting and the episodes we published,” he tweeted.

In the aftermath of the controversial episode, Pablo Torre Finds Out published another episode looking into Belichick’s relationship with Hudson called “The Bill Belichick Ring Video: Pablo Torre Found a New Tape — and Finally Solved the Mystery.” He’s also discussed his reporting about Belichick’s relationship with Hudson and its potential impact on his career with Meadowlark Media’s The Dan Le Batard Show, The Dan Patrick Show, The Stephen A. Smith Show, Mike Florio’s Pro Football Talk and The Athletic. However, not everyone in media is very fond of Torre’s recent reporting about Belichick, Hudson, and the University of North Carolina football program.

“Pablo Torre would’ve done a long podcast about Leo Farnsworth trying to practice with the team, and then done a media tour about it afterwards,” Bill Simmons said during a recent episode of The Rewatchables. “I’ve never seen anybody dine on a stupider story for a week and a half while pretending you’re a journalist. What the f—k was that? Seriously.”

When Awful Announcing shared a story about Simmons’s comments, Torre swiftly responded via X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Since you have such a strong public opinion about my work…I happen to have a few questions for you, specifically,” Torre wrote. “Unless you’re afraid of [Pablo Torre Finds Out] and someone just ‘pretending to be a journalist,’ of course.”

Torre and Simmons both worked at ESPN throughout the first half of the 2010s. However, the two did not have a disagreement unfold via social media and podcasts during their time at the Worldwide Leader in Sports.
