Actress Nia Long has finally shared her reaction to the initial news of suspended Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka’s misconduct in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Brande Victorian. The partner of Udoka for over a decade when the scandal that led to his season-long suspension broke, Long has been largely quiet about the situation until now.
Amid the concern over female employees of the Celtics organization getting dragged into the affair, Long shared that the team did not reach out to her, and highlighted the impact the way the news was handled impacted her and Udoka’s son Kez negatively.
“I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my son’s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public,” she related.
