Jordon Hudson Calls Out NFL Media for Ignoring Scandal Involving Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel

Bill Belichick's 25-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is calling out the NFL media over the Dianna Russini, Mike Vrabel scandal.

Hudson, fresh off an adult cheerleading "world championship," took to social media to call out NBC Sports and Pro Football Talk, over their coverage of the scandal involving the former NFL insider for The Athletic and the head coach of the New England Patriots.

The young girlfriend of the North Carolina head coach called out Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio for shutting down a discussion about Vrabel and Russini on his show. Chris Simms, who had recently been taken off "Football Night in America," was about to share what he had been told by coaches and their wives about the drama when Florio shut it down.

Some had speculated that Simms' coverage of the scandal played into his removal from the "Sunday Night Football"pregame show. However, that has not been verified.

Hudson called out Florio and Pro Football Talk for the decision.

"We're not talking about this? Why not, @ProFootballTalk?" she wrote.

She referenced her infamous interview with CBS's "Sunday Morning," in which she shut down a question asked to her boyfriend, about their relationship.

The latest on Russini, Vrabel

Vrabel remains the head coach of the Patriots, while Russini stepped down from her position with The Athletic.

The Athletic reportedly addressed the status of the investigation into Russini's behavior in an all-hands meeting, according to Front Office Sports.

"On Wednesday, executive editor Steven Ginsberg read a statement that he prepared lasting about 10 minutes, in which he acknowledged that communications could have been more clear. He said that a previously-reported investigation into the matter, led by The Athletic‘s editorial director for standards and editorial quality Mike Semel, is ongoing and expected to be lengthy. Ginsberg did not take questions from staff during the all-hands, but said that he is available for direct contact, sources said," FOS reported.

"A spokesperson for The Athletic declined to comment."

Russini has yet to speak publicly since her initial resignation letter.
