The home was not Hudson’s at all. According to Pablo Torre, it was an Airbnb in Winthrop, Massachusetts, owned by a couple who woke up confused and uneasy. On Torre’s show, the woman, who chose to remain anonymous, recalled their first reaction."We saw the Ring video in the morning, not knowing who this was," the woman said, "but it was an older gentleman with a very young woman who checked in the night before."

Her husband jumped in, explaining the alarm bells that rang before recognition set in.

"She’s said, ‘She’s with this creepy old guy.' She thought her relative or a drug dealer was the first thing because of the age discrepancy. Remember you went, ‘Must be a freaking coke dealer.’ I was like, ‘What? Come on."So that was her first reaction. And then I start looking [and] I’m like, ‘That does look like Belichick!’"The couple confirmed Hudson booked the stay and even shared a strange but harmless exchange about golf equipment."I didn't think anything of it at the time," the woman said.What followed pushed the story beyond the clip. Torre revealed he relied on a GeoGuessr expert to pinpoint the location, describing the process on Vice TV."It wasn't easy," he said. "The only thing I could think of was those GeoGuessr guys.""‘I get the coordinates from Rainbolt: Winthrop, Massachusetts,’" Torre added, explaining how public listings led him to the exact rental.As Belichick and Hudson made their relationship public, tension followed. Hudson later accused Torre of “factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory and targeted” reporting, especially after claims about her access to the University of North Carolina football facilities were denied by the school.The documentary Out of Bounds deepens the intrigue, spotlighting Hudson’s strained interactions with media figures and her growing influence around Belichick.

One quote from podcaster Charlotte Wilder captures the unease."It's been pretty wild to watch... [she] does literally the opposite of what any PR expert would advise you to do."A shirtless clip may have sparked the attention, but the aftermath shows how quickly a fleeting moment can reshape reputations, invite scrutiny, and refuse to stay private.Also Read: Myles Garrett’s viral kiss with Chloe Kim leaves her dad hilariously cringing as Browns star chases history
