College football fans are calling for Jordon Hudson to have her UNC credential revoked in the latest twist to her ugly online battle with ex-ESPN star Pablo Torre.
Hudson has threatened Torre with legal action over a series of reports about her relationship with Bill Belichick that she claims are 'inaccurate and materially defamatory'.
Announcing her plans to sue the podcast host, the 24-year-old ex-cheerleader posted a photo of herself wearing her UNC credential, and a necklace with the word 'banned'.
Ironically, it is that very photo that some fans claim could lead to her actually having her credential revoked.
On X, one wrote: 'The first rule of a credential agreement that all recipients have to sign is typically not to post pictures on social media of the credential. Violating is usually a revocation of the credential. Dying at this.'
Another added: 'One of the first things about working in sports they tell you is to never post your credential online. Anyone could pretty easily create a fake one based off this clear shot of Jordon Hudson’s.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to UNC regarding its credential rules, with no conditions immediately available on the team's website.
Other schools, though, are very clear about the policy, with the University of Kentucky noting on its site: 'Bearer shall not, at any time, display, post, or otherwise reproduce the credential image on any digital platform, including online social media sites or applications (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat).'
Grambling State, meanwhile, tells reporters: 'Credential holders are not to post photos via social media or any other entity. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in the credential being removed and revoked for future games/contests.'
At the NCAA Championships, those in possession of a credential are warned: 'Bearer shall not… display, post, or otherwise reproduce the credential image on any digital platform.'
The controversy comes amid another post of Hudson's, this time on X, in which she shared screenshots of her own text messages in an attempt to disprove Torre's reporting.
Her contentious relationship with Bill Belichick has long been the subject of explosive reports
Hudson claimed on Sunday she is taking legal action against ex-ESPN reporter Pablo Torre
Among a slew of claims from Torre, including that Hudson had been banned from UNC's football facility, it was reported that she had falsified her birth year on a University document.
The allegation was discussed on a bombshell episode of the 'Pablo Finds Out' podcast, in which Torre and his co-hosts speculated that she claimed her birth year was 2000 rather than 2001 in a bid to minimize criticism over her age-gap relationship with Belichick.
Hudson is now hitting back, though, and has posted two screenshots of a conversation with Emily Muse - UNC's Chief of Staff Personnel - that appear to show it was not a deliberate act by Hudson and instead a mistake from the team staffer.
One exchange between the pair shows Muse asking Hudson for her birth date for a 'family directory' - to which she allegedly replies: 'Oh, hey! Great idea. My birthday is April 3rd.'
In a follow-up text exchange purported to be between Hudson and Muse, Hudson asks 'which birthdate do you have for me on file'.
In response, Muse responds: 'April 3rd, 2001.'
Hudson then explains that she is asking because of a 'widely publicized report that I had written an incorrect birth year on an internal UNC document.'
She continued: 'Only problem is I haven't filled out anything for UNC. The only time my birthdate had come up with anything UNC-related was when you asked for my birthday back in February I said "April 3rd" but did not specify a year.

'By chance, did you enter my birth year as 2000 when this was first filled out? That was the only possible situation I could come up with.'
Muse's response in the alleged conversation, posted to X by Hudson, reads: 'Yes I did put 2000 at the time but I purely guessed and updated it during my last edit as I noticed that wasn't right.
'I'm so sorry that a report went out. The only people this would have been seen by are the significant others of our coaches and staff.'
Torre is yet to respond to Hudson's post on X, but the exchange represents the latest twist in a war of words that could yet see the inside of a courtroom.
