According to People Nia Long is still upset by the way the Boston Celtics organization handled the fallout of her fiancé Ime Udoka’s suspension and affair.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Long, 52, said that the Celtics still have not reached out to her privately amid the scandal, which broke in September.
Udoka allegedly had an affair with a female subordinate within the Celtics organization.
The Fatal Affair actress said “it’s very disappointing” that the NBA organization has seemingly turned a cold shoulder to her and her sons.
“If you’re in the business of protecting women — I’m sorry, no one from the Celtics organization has even called to see if I’m OK, to see if my children are OK,” she revealed.

Long and Udoka, 45, share a son together — Kez Sunday Udoka — who was born in 2011.
The mother-of-two said, “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.”
According to THR, Long took her son out of school when Udoka’s alleged affair became public.
“It was devastating, and it still is,” said Long, who revealed that her son “still has moments where it’s not easy for him” to navigate his family’s private turmoil being discussed publicly.
Long kept the status of her relationship with Udoka private, but confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she and her sons are moving back to Los Angeles from Boston.
Long has another son, 21-year-old Massai Dorsey II, from a previous relationship with actor Massai Dorsey.
