You cheated on Nia long with that thing 😆

Still not one bit of blame for the [MARRIED WOMEN] THAT [CHOSE] to step out on their husband and commit adultery. Smdh

I'm glad she moved on.😢😢👏🏾👏🏾

This is sad but not surprising. I could understand why after 13 years with Ime she would have expected someone to reach out. It’s not because they owe her anything, but just out of human decency. These organizations are a business but they promote this ideal of being a family, and after being with the head coach for so many years I am sure she developed connections with people in the organization who claimed to care for her or regard her like family. So I understand where she is coming from, but reality is, black people are never protected. She and her children are just collateral damage…

Nia is not in the same category as those two women he had affairs with, they were white and married. Nia is a woman of color and legally single. This tells you all you need to know why she was treated the way she was. It does not matter that she is a well known actress.

That’s why I don’t believe in real LONG engagements. To me, 7 years is to long. If I don’t see myself with you within a year, than it’s a wrap.

She should be blaming her man for not protecting her

This was a blatant violation of Nia’s personal privacy. Her relationship is her personal information. The Celtics didn’t blast the 2 women in their org who were involved in the affair. Was race the reason. No disregard for the black woman who has status in her own right. Having worked in a public entity for years privilege can error with no recourse. It was not necessary to expose Nia for the Celtics to address the actions of the Coach. I am almost certain he did other things that were questionable related to women everyone in the org saw it and did nothing. This brothers actions feed into the narrative that is often framed for our black man. He had beauty and the best and still didn’t appreciate it. That was a punk move you ex coach!!!!!!!!!

Move on Queen Nia! Something wrong with him.😮😢

At the end of the day we all have to accept that other people really don't care about our problems. The Celtics were trying to cover their a$$ and Ime definitely didn't care. Nia probably expected more because she is famous however they treated her like anyone else. #Afrikansuperstar

Dudes never satisfy

NIA LONG LOVE YOU SO MUCH, STAY STRONG.

If there’s proof that “management” knew about the affair- yes they should check on Nia on the regular. She has her own career, money, connections. I’m quite sure someone is considering a lawsuit because of defamation, etc. if there’s good legal representation on Nia’s side yeah somebody better checking on her

This is what happens when you play married, it's like driving without insurance, you crash you have to pay for the damages yourself....it's all on you, and that individual doesn't owe you anything because you were never married.....🤷🏾‍♀️...hey, "I'm not saying, I'm just saying"

I agree with the person who said they protected the other women involved but not Nia Long. She didn’t deserve that and I’m praying she’s taking it day by day and she will be okay.

Yes she was. The team was about basketball not her feeling. The team had to rid themselves of the known scandal because it involved two members of the front office. Nia was a casualty that wasn’t even considered in the whole scheme of things. She did the right thing and moved on with her life.

Nia should know they had to go public with everything to explain why a coach that just led his team to the NBA Championship game was fired

Nia Long is 🔥

No such thing as a perfect relationship, people, stop saying that!

Unfortunately,. They don’t have to care. They were not married either, no benefits.

Without proof, I can guarantee the Celtics have kept other Team/Staff relations a secret. The only reason this one got exposed is 1) a black man with a white woman who is also 2) the wife of Celtics upper management. PERIOD.

That man wasn't worthy of a classy lady like Nia Long. Glad she gave him the boot!!!! 👢👢👢👢👢👢👑👑👑

Men need to be honest with themselves if your a man who are not ready to be with one woman don't waste your time or her time it isn't fair.Ime udoka clearly was not that into Nia long anymore or maybe he does love her but like a lot of men are we like to sometimes have sex with other women it is what it is lol.

Why would you think a 12 year long distance relationship could work?

"couldn't keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long."

That organization didn't care one bit about her. They are trying to save face because they let this happen more than once. Then, it became public.

I know they weren't married but out of human decency the Boston Celtics owned her better. They should have reached out to her before this blew up for the sake of her and her sons. Shame on Ime Udoka for being so reckless and careless and being a coward for not warning Nia Long about the mess he made for her sake and the sake of her sons. I wish her and her family the very best 😍😍😍😍

Maybe if she was his wife they would have handled it differently. There’s a huge difference between being a wife and a girlfriend, PERIODT!! Plus a seven year engagement..hmmmm. Questionable..

As the saying goes: “Show me an attractive woman, and I’ll show you a man who is tired of boinkin’ her.”

The Celtics front office was trash for the way they handled the situation.

Seems to be a recurring issue of disgusting behaviour. There is nothing left to be said - things must change.

He didn’t start cheating on her He never stopped being single Issa difference Women have intuition though So she knew what type of man she had, from jump No woman wants a man who other women don’t want

Who cares. He CHEATED . Move on. Why steadily dwell on it. Ex's don't deserve that much attention. Plus, when you come to terms with it. CLOSE THAT CHAPTER. MOVE ON. MAKE NEW CHAPTERS IN YOUR BOOK.

She doesn't hardly match up to Nia. She had to be extorting him to tell if he stopped.

Tell Nia to call me. I love her

I don't think the Celtics organization should have called her; she was not his wife...🤔 They DON'T owe her anything...🤷🏾‍♀️

They made it public to shame and destroy his career. Ime still get hired . I'm sure they would be back together. Because they was never married for 7 years. Their son is what's keeping hold on their relationship.

This should’ve been kept private for one to protect the team and 2 this man’s family which includes Nia long.. affairs happen in these types of settings but a lot of them are kept under wraps and solved quickly… so I feel the Celtics should’ve really considered her feelings in this before going public

Nia trust the process and remember that God exposes the truth before the leap. Removed from your life for a reason. Heal and trust that you have been blessed🙏🙏🙏

I too also Luv Nia, but you and Ime were in a relationship not you and the Celtics Organization I also believe that the organization and urself both felt the disloyal heartache that Ime caused, but No they don't owe you anything as it was Ime's responsibility to you not the Organization

She’s a bit delusional to think that they owe her an apology. As far as I could see they released a statement citing he would be suspended but didn’t state the reason behind the suspension.

On top of all that, he went to a white Moorman woman who is from a racist family

THEY OWE HER AND HER SON RESPECT PERIOD!!!! On another note Nia, that engagement was way too long for a man who is not in federal prison. I'm going to call him a BLOCKER, he kept her to BLOCK anyone else from having her while he continue to do his dirt. MAY THE JUDGEMENT OF THE MOST HIGH GOD deal with him. Nia is BLACK, STRONG, AND SUCCESSFUL WOMAN BY HERSELF AND THAT IS WHY THEY EXPOSED HER PRIVATE LIFE AND NOT THE OTHERS! I see it as a tool to TRY and destroy her, to drive her crazy like the rest of Hollywood WICKED AND EVIL. SHE AND HERS WILL WIN!

Wquite women are sick smh Knowing his fiance and her kid SHAME

7yr engagement and long distance relationship yeeeaaaaa it was gonna end bad

Ime and TJ holmes should do a podcast....

Grow up ok Nia and go on with your life ok you act like you were the first woman to get cheated on

He suddenly needed her income. So moving in together made perfect sense to him. Smh

7 years is not a engagement ,people need to stop using that word to solidify your relationship.

He strung her along.... Women... do not ever allow a man to give you a ring and 7 years later the ring is still all you have! Breadcrumb her and they have a 10 year old son. He never intended on marrying her. He rode that wagon until the wheels fell off.

Leave Ime alone, Nia. He has proven himself to be no good for you after all these years and you moving in with him. Play date is over!!!

What were the Celtics supposed to do? Ime was the head coach one day and the next day, he's gone? How would they explain that? They couldn't say anything about the woman he had an affair with for legal reasons. They probably couldn't get involved with Nia Long either for similar reasons. Also, it was Ime who behaved poorly, not the Celtics

Once Stephen A Smith starting speaking. I had too cut this short. Kudos too Nia Long. I'm out.

Looks have nothing to do with cheating. It's availability.

Scandalous

Celtics has historically been known for racism. This behavior is not surprising.

Long distance is the bane of many relationships...

You don't move for to be with a man in the first place. Real women don't chase men, real men pursue women. What kind of man would even be ok with making that kind of career sacrifice for him. And on top of that 7 years engaged. Now I know that marriage is serious and you don't rush into it, but come man 7 years. If it takes that long then he is saying you not the one.

Two years is my limit. If not married within two years, it’s time to move on. IMO, two years is enough time for both parties to realize whether they want to continue to invest their time or decide it is not meant to be w/o feeling like you wasted too much of your time.

What happened to the other woman

What’s the married ladies name?

Being engaged for 7 years. Come on you know that man don't want to marry you

Boy, you're crazy cheating with that😮😢

i don't get why when the man cheat they say they focus is in the children it should also be focused on saving the marriage we need black men in the home with they children one mistake should not change the atmosphere

Let it go Nia. No more details. enough damage has been done.

The only thing I could say is thank God she did not marry him. Why are these trifling women mashing up their own marriages with this any man who has no boundaries. Nasty arse dude! What a mess! I know it’s not fair but long distance isn’t good for everyone. A man being away for his woman, with intimacy and everything it can be a lot. It is clear he should have been better at expressing his needs from her. This is a lot.

If your excuse is to protect women be consistent on all fronts.

Ok seems like all the people that posted comment are having the same reaction on the appearance of the woman he cheated with. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to me she is a lovely milk of magnesia.

He knew he was being investigated and let her and their son pack up everything and move across country. He needs to be by himself.

There is nothing wrong with exhibiting some compassion and, if not that then consideration at the very least. The Celtics organization showed themselves as unfeeling, ghetto, ignorant, and racist. And let’s not leave out class-less. It’s bad Karma for them and it will manifest itself.

He will move on and have beautiful relationship/family with another woman that’s not hell bent on cheating or his past 🤷🏾‍♂️

If you're not married there's no commitment and if there is not commitment you're not cheating.

Of course Nia was wrong to think the Celtics organization owed her a “check”. Their main concern was the Celtics. Not one of the most respected and best actresses on the planet. IJS

Cold 🥶 world🌎 bro! 7 year engagement 😂😂😂😂! Shoutout to Kevin Samuels 👑

Waiting on ESPN TO COMMENT LOL

This is so very sad to see Nia Long going through this.

Most black men l worked with lied they are not married and later meet both at Walmart and introduce their wife forgot he told us he is single shame

Did anyone pop up pregnant girlfriends in this story

Everyone lost something here. However, the mistress, Kathleen Nimmo Lynch, lost the least out of this whole explosion. Why wasn't her name (& several photos) mentioned here? You all don't mind embarrassing Nia Long & she did NOTHING wrong.

He strung her along. I’m sure he cares for her but wants his double life. Long distance relationships are difficult.

For real why is she talking now? she didn't stick with her man and now you want to speak about Becky, stop the CAP!

Nia ain't leaving her man,and they will work it out because the love is still there and she's older now.

Let keep it a💯. Nia is the Baby Mama if she was not a Celebrity yall people wouldn't care. Celtics organization is trying to stay on the court not in court that's why they were advised to handle the situation they way they did. The Celtics was suppose Suspend or Fire Ime with explanation, stop the cap. I still Crush on Nia, but this is on your Baby Daddy Period.

He fell into a trap. He knew better why would get with the help smh

They should have checked with them.

They made sure the other women was protected why not protect nia she has a son the other side piece had children and a husband but that's what money buddy systems politics will do I pray for nia and son

They don't owe her anything and they can fire him anyway they want, if she was a regular person would they have called to check on her and the still would have put old boy on blast. Well anyways they did her a favor.

I see how this can appear to be exactly what happened but I totally disagree, and here is why. First of all Has Ime Udoke ever displayed or has a history of cheating before being with Nia long? Secondly the couple was engaged for 6-7 years that's a lifetime especially as Hollywood goes, which means that something was going wrong in that relationship that we don't know about. Thirdly I believe that Nia cut all access to the promise land that lead Ime to be starved out to the point that he made some poor decisions. Many would say that this scenario is not likely and throw all blame on the man as is usual. But think about this: Woman control access to sex while men control who they get married to.

NIA LONG SEEMS ARGUMENTAL VERY DEMANDING FOR SOMEONE BEAUTIFUL LIKE HALLE LIKE TRACY ROSS THEY ARE SINGLE FOR A REASON!!

And think that Nia Long should sue the Bost but dragging her name in the mix of the scandal this should have kept her name private like they did the other two women's where you know how it goes the black woman is going to go down before the white woman will and I think that's a shame

She should have married him so she can divorce and get all of his money. She played herself.

She looks like Kevin Durant

1:50 shoutout to the internet 😂

It doesn’t matter weather your Relationship is in town or out of town…. If a Person want to cheat they will find a way to do so. But this was just a damn disgrace!!!!! sleep with a Married Person? Especially someone you have to work with. Then one of the Women knew him and Nia personally!!!! So Pathetic….. Nia is a Beautiful woman, Great Actor, with her own Money and I’m sure she will find real Love elsewhere eventually. She did the right thing and walk away but he not only did it once but with two different Women and he was fine with it until the Truth came out.

Nia wow Halley berry wow another one … who would’ve thought

He lost the championship and his girl, his bad.

She knew he was cheating. She left because of embarrassment.

And why do they have to acknowledge anything? Not a question. Also, it’s clearly not a relationship so I don’t know why you keep referring to it as one they don’t owe us anything..

The Celtics don’t owe Nia anything. Her husband caused this mess. She is affiliated with him. Oh well, stuff happens. Affairs happen everyday. Not the end of the world.

I bet the Celtics front office reports all the players they see cheating on their wives also, lol. Smdh
