The interview, which aired on April 27, quickly became a talking point for the wrong reason. Hudson, who was present off-camera, interjected sternly, "We're not talking about this," creating a visibly awkward moment. Reports from NBC Sports claimed that Hudson interrupted the interview multiple times, with CBS including one particular instance to illustrate her lurking presence. Earlier this year, leaked emails signed by Belichick asked communications staff at the University of North Carolina to include Hudson on any emails to the football coach. Some defended Hudson while many felt she overstepped and became increasingly restrictive, questioning whether her involvement in the interview was appropriate.
