"#Thirsty. #Grifter": Bill Russell’s daughter strongly reacts to Bill Belichick’s viral mermaid moment with 24 y/o girlfriend

Bill Russell's daughter, Karen Thee Russell, was one of many people who reacted to an old beach photo of Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson.

Belichick and Hudson have been together for a few years. The longtime Patriots head coach is 73 years old, 49 years older than his girlfriend. The couple made headlines when they posted a photo in November of Belichick dressed as a fisherman and "hooking" Hudson, dressed in a mermaid costume.

Bill Russell's daughter reacted to the photo on Monday.

"This is sad," said Russell's daugther. "#thirsty. #grifter."

The reaction from fans hasn't discouraged Belichick and Hudson from being together. They have made public appearances throughout their relationship.

Bill Russell's daughter isn't the only one concerned about the new relationship

Reports have emerged that UNC is concerned about how much influence Belichick's girlfriend has over him as he gets settled in. According to James Parks of Sports Illustrated, Hudson has become extremely involved in Belichick's interactions with the media, especially in his recent interview with CBS.

In an interview conducted to promote Belichick's new book, the coach was asked about a variety of topics, including his coaching journey and his personal life. When the interviewer asked Belichick how he met Hudson, she was quick to intervene.

“We’re not talking about this,” Hudson said.

Earlier in the interview, Belichick said he was not concerned by how people perceived their relationship.

“I’ve never been too worried about what everybody else thinks,” Belichick said. “Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what’s right.”
