Linda Holliday stirred up Halloween drama this year, making waves with a bold costume that seemed to throw a not-so-subtle jab at her ex, Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Holliday, who dated Belichick for 16 years before their split in 2022, dressed up as “Kill Bill” in an eye-catching nod to the iconic character Beatrix Kiddo from Quentin Tarantino’s famous movie.
Holliday donned the classic yellow and black jumpsuit and wielded a fake samurai sword, embodying Uma Thurman’s revenge-fueled character with gusto. But while the costume may have been all in fun for Holliday, some fans and followers saw it as more than just Halloween fun—sparking mixed reactions online.
In response to critics, Holliday took to her Instagram Story to defend her choice, urging people to lighten up and keep a sense of humor. She reminded followers that the current culture of “offense” might not have survived the humor of classic comedians like Eddie Murphy or Andrew Dice Clay.
Holliday went on to say that not everything is an attack, encouraging her audience to laugh a little instead of reading too deeply into her costume choice.
Podcasters Mike Golic Jr. and Mike Golic Sr. of the “GoJo and Golic” show couldn’t help but dive into the speculation surrounding Holliday’s costume choice. The two noted that the costume wasn’t exactly subtle and wondered if it hinted at some lingering tension between Holliday and Belichick, especially given the timing of the costume.
Golic Jr. joked that the group chat between Holliday and her friends over the past months must be “one of the most hateful things on planet earth,” suggesting that her costume may have been a playful way to express any unresolved feelings toward her former longtime partner.
Meanwhile, Belichick, now 72, has been making headlines himself, not just for his performance as the Patriots head coach but also for his relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, a former college cheerleader from Massachusetts.
The couple was first linked publicly in June, five months after Belichick mutually separated from the Patriots following a legendary 24-year career and six Super Bowl titles. Hudson and Belichick have since been spotted together in various settings, from summer boat rides on Belichick’s $225,000 boat to Halloween parties dressed in themed costumes of their own.
While Holliday and Belichick’s relationship is in the past, the public fascination with their lives continues, fueled by everything from Halloween costumes to podcast commentary.
For now, Holliday is taking a humorous approach, reminding everyone to “lighten up” and enjoy the spirit of Halloween, while Belichick and Hudson are content to let their new relationship unfold. Whether or not there’s any lingering tension, both parties seem to be moving forward—Holliday with a touch of humor, and Belichick with a new chapter.
