Drama on Nantucket: Jordon Hudson vs. Belichick's Ex at Star-Studded Gala

Jordon Hudson and her close friend, Miss Massachusetts 2024 Melissa Sabini, dazzled at a Nantucket Cottage Hospital fundraiser - Hudson stunning in a sleek updo and baby blue silk dress, while Sabini turned heads in a mustard off-the-shoulder gown. It was their first return to Nantucket's social scene since their tense standoff with Belichick's ex at a Christmas party

THE NANTUCKET NIGHTMARE: JORDAN HUDSON MAKES TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO ISLAND'S SOCIAL SCENE, BUT LINDA HOLLIDAY IS WATCHING

The drama never ends on the tony island of Nantucket, and Jordan Hudson's recent return to its social scene was no exception. The 24-year-old beauty queen, who had fallen out of favor with the island's elite after a highly publicized confrontation with Linda Holliday last Christmas, made a stunning comeback over the weekend at a fundraiser for Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Hudson, resplendent in a baby blue silk dress, posed up a storm with her bestie Melissa Sapini on the beach at Jetties, where they were treated to a warm-up act by Bruce Springsteen's band. But the real drama was brewing elsewhere, as Holliday - Bill Belichick's ex and Hudson's arch-nemesis - watched from the sidelines.

The ex in question was none other than Belichick¿s longtime ex-girlfriend, Linda Holliday (left), who was seen at the same event smiling alongside New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand (right), who was also reportedly involved in the Christmas showdown

The two women have been embroiled in a long-standing feud, which came to a head last Christmas at the exclusive Dreamland club. According to eyewitnesses, Holliday became enraged when she saw Hudson on the dance floor, where her twin daughters Ashley and Kat Hess were DJing. It was claimed that Holliday threatened Sapini during the confrontation, telling her friend that if she "valued her current title," she should think twice about who her friends are.

But now, it seems that Hudson has come out on top in their long-running battle for social supremacy. And what a triumphant return she made! With Sapini by her side, Hudson stunned the crowd with her glamour and poise, while Holliday looked on with a mixture of disdain and admiration.

TheScholarlyNote.com can reveal that Holliday was spotted grinning from ear to ear in a snap with bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand, but it's clear that she's still seething over the Christmas showdown. And Hudson isn't backing down - far from it. In fact, she seems to be taking her revenge by rubbing their faces in it.

Earlier this year, the 24-year-old appeared to take a sly swipe at Linda Holliday in a sentimental Instagram post dedicated to Sapini, calling out the 'Nantucket Socialites' for not making her feel like she belongs

The drama doesn't end there, folks. It turns out that Hudson and Sapini were actually at Belichick's Sconset compound earlier in the day, where they posed for a snap together in the bathroom. Yes, you read that right - the 72-year-old NFL legend was nowhere to be seen, but his ex and her beauty queen BFF were more than happy to pose up a storm.

But what really got our attention was Hudson's Instagram post from June, which seemed innocent enough at first glance. The 24-year-old beauty queen had posted a heartfelt message praising Sapini for relinquishing her Miss Massachusetts title, but it was the last line that gave us pause - "I know you will keep shining, metamorphosing and taking up space; even when others threaten you and insist that you don't belong, e.g. the 'Nantucket Socialites.'"

We think we get what she's trying to say here... That Hudson and Sapini are not afraid of Holliday or her powerful friends in the pageant organization? That they're going to keep on doing their thing, no matter how many enemies they make along the way?

Well, it seems that our theories were correct. And as for Belichick, we can reveal that he's too busy coaching collegiate football at UNC to worry about his ex's ongoing feud with Hudson. But we have a feeling this drama is far from over...

In related news, Sapini spoke out in May to defend her friend and her relationship with Belichick, which began in early 2023. The Massachusetts pageant queen urged the public to refocus their attention away from the wintertime party and instead look to Belichick's current work coaching collegiate football at UNC.

"What I do want to highlight is the incredible work and dedication of the UNC football team," she said. "These young men have trained for years to get to this moment in their careers, and they deserve to be the center of attention."

One story Sapini posted to Instagram showed Hudson playing with children at the beach as the sun was setting

But we think it's time to give the spotlight back to Hudson and Sapini - two women who are refusing to back down in the face of adversity. And as for Holliday? Well, let's just say she's not exactly known for her forgiving nature...

Belichick is not known to have attended the event. The six-time Super Bowl winner is focused on his new coaching role at the University of North Carolina

Holliday and Belichick dated for 16 years before their split, after which he began seeing Hudson. The two women's tense relationship reached a boiling point at a 2024 Christmas event held at Nantucket's exclusive Dreamland venue

Hudson and Sapini both showed up to the Christmas event, only to be met with hostility from Holliday. As the party wound down, the two pageant queens were asked to leave and waited by the exit while Hudson reportedly told an employee that Holliday had threatened Sapini during a heated clash on the dance floor

Elin Hilderbrand, Holliday's close friend, allegedly approached Hudson on the dance floor with 'threatening body language and escalating aggression'. But when an employee moved toward the scene, Holliday and her friends backed away
