Jordon Hudson returned to the Nantucket social scene with her pride intact and her glam on last weekend, months after falling out of favor with the tony island's socialites.
And who should she run into at the fundraiser for Nantucket Cottage Hospital but the woman responsible for her being kicked out of a party on the exclusive island last year: Bill Belichick's ex, Linda Holliday.
Holliday and Hudson, who showed up at the charity event with her beauty pageant bestie Melissa Sapini, studiously avoided each other, Daily Mail can reveal.
Good thing.
Last Christmas, Hudson, 24, and Sapini were booted out of a swanky soiree by hostile Holliday.
Then, in June, Hudson, 24, called out Belichick's 64-year-old ex in a sentimental Instagram post, ostensibly to praise Sapini after relinquishing her 2024 Miss Massachusetts title.
But near the bottom of the post her pen turns poison, writing: '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.'
In their first return to Nantucket's social scene since their tense Christmas standoff, Hudson and Sapini dressed to the nines for the party at Jetties Beach, which featured a warm up act for Bruce Springsteen's band.

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
Hudson pinned up her dark tresses and stunned in a baby blue silk dress, posing up with Sapini in a mustard yellow off-the-shoulder dress.
Holliday grinned in a snap with New York best-selling author Elin Hilderbrand.
Hudson later posted a snap of the pair back in the bathroom at Belichick's Sconset compound – on the other end of the 14-mile long island to Linda's home.
Belichick wasn't spotted at the event, the six-time Super Bowl winner focusing on his new coaching gig at the University of North Carolina.
The December confrontation with her 72-year-old beau's ex took place at the tony club Dreamland. According to an incident report filed by an employee Holliday was enraged by Hudson's presence where Holliday's twin daughters, Ashley and Kat Hess, were DJing.
When realizing there were only a few minutes left of the party, Hudson is said to have agreed to leave if the employee accompanied them to the exit.
As they waited by the exit, Hudson supposedly then told the employee that Holliday had threatened Sapini during the clash on the dance floor.
It was claimed Holliday told Hudson's friend that if she 'valued her current title, she should think twice about who her friends are' and that she 'had many powerful friends in the pageant organization'.

One story Sapini posted to Instagram showed Hudson playing with children at the beach as the sun was setting. Another story showed the two of them working out at Belichick's Sconset compound
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
The report claims that at 9.30pm, Holliday approached the member of staff and asked her to remove Hudson, 24, from the party.
While on the phone with the venue's executive director to discuss removing Hudson, staff spotted Holliday and Hilderbrand approach Hudson on the dance floor with 'threatening body language and escalating aggression'.
But as the employee approached the dance floor, Holliday and her group of friends, which also included Heather Thorpe, decided to back away.
'I asked Ms. Hudson if she thought it was a good idea to be there considering the clear animosity the above individuals felt towards her,' the worker wrote in the report.
'She defended herself by saying she'd done nothing wrong, and it was her first time attending Christmas Stroll and wanted to attend the 'big party' going on that night, which happened to be the one featuring the Hess Twins.
'She said she was not looking to cause any problems but just wanted to go out and have fun with her friend.'

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

The report says Sapini didn't speak but broke down in tears in the room and was 'wiping her eyes frequently'.
After leaving Hudson and Sapini by the exit, the employee returned to find Holliday, who said: 'If this didn't involve my girls, I don't think this would have bothered me as much, but because it did, the 'momma bear' in me came out.'
Sapini has been a staunch defender of her friend's romance, and was spotted giving Belichick, 72, a kiss on the cheek as they both supported Hudson at the Miss Maine event in May.
In May, Sapini spoke to People magazine to defend Hudson and her relationship with the former NFL coach, which began in early 2023.
The Massachusetts pageant queen urged the public to refocus their scrutiny away from the wintertime party and instead look to Belichick's current work coaching collegiate football at UNC.
'While I understand the attention around the Dreamland event, I just feel like it's pulling focus from what really matters now,' she said.
'What I do want to highlight is the incredible work and dedication of the UNC football team. These young men have trained for years to get to this moment in their careers, and they deserve to be the center of attention.'
