This week Boston Celtics Head Coach Ime Odoka was suspended for the entire season for an inappropriate workplace relationship [click here if you missed that].
Actress Nia Long, who has been engaged to Odoka since 2015 and shares a 10-year-old son with him [click here if you missed that], speaks out for the first time...
From TMZ
Sources connected to the team and the couple tell TMZ ... Nia had moved to Boston with Kez, her 10-year-old son with Ime, just 2 weeks ago, and the couple was house hunting.
The sad twist for Nia is that when she moved, Ime was already fully aware his affair with a married front office staffer was about to blow up. We're told Ime knew way back in July the team was aware of the affair, and was launching an investigation.
Meanwhile, we're told Nia only found out about it in the last few days ... and only because Ime knew it was about to go public.
Nia tells TMZ, through her rep Shannon Barr ... "The outpouring of love and support from family, friends and the community during this difficult time means so much to me. I ask that my privacy be respected as I process the recent events. Above all, I am a mother and will continue to focus on my children."
Making matters worse, the details from the scandal are starting to leak out and apparently the affair was over and Ime was making unwanted comments, causing HR to get involved.

Nicca sold his soul for that white gold👩🏻🦰
Nia come back home & leave them tethers alone!
Being a celebrity seems taxing…business all in the streets. What if she wants to forgive him? Everybody knows now. Keep your head up
If the affair was over and he still continued to harass her, I can see why it was leaked. He wouldn’t leave her alone. I’m not on the yt girl’s side. I’m just calling it as it is. He impacted his job being a narcissist.
I wish Nia Long all the best in whatever decision she makes.
D@mn, he’s younger than her but looks older. Whoo, chile!
So, now they say it isn't the light skinned sister, it's someone else? Wow, so the league threw Ime out there to the public which inadvertently embarrassed Nia, then they allowed the Black staffer Allison to be unfairly thought of as the woman he had an affair with when she wasn't, but they are protecting the real participant??
This might mean the real woman he slept with is YT and connected to someone really high up in the organization or connected to some rich YT man??? They threw everyone off the trail by allowing folks to think it was the pretty sista. If I were Allison I would sue if it wasn't me because the minute I got drug to filth for another woman's affair would be the day they had to cut me a check! Lol. I wonder who released Allison's picture because they had us thinking it was her? Sorry Allison.
My thing is, why did the league release the affair information when there were 2 consenting adults? An employer can't discuss a firing and so why discuss a suspension? Something isn't adding up.
Stopped reading at Actress Nia Long, who has been engaged to Odoka since 2015 . 7 year engagement at your age? That ain't been your man for 7 years girl. Now ya know
I have no empathy for women who believe in this spiritual marriage BULLSHIT!! He got the whole cow for free!!
@8:46, no lies told. Lol. She has folks fooled like she didn't know that man was creeping. That's probably why she ran up to Boston real fast. Trust me, older women are not gullible and every woman can feel the presence of another woman. They darn sure know when a man's attention has shifted. Also, people are trying to say she never wanted to marry but what sense does that make when you have presented as engaged for years? Goldie Hawn flat out said from the beginning of her relationship
That she never wants to remarry because her 1st marriage was so bad. Therefore, she and Kurt don't say engaged, they just say partners. Also, coastal relationships like Ime and Nia's are very difficult because he's going home at night alone and getting hard and Nia is somewhere probably hot too. Lol In all seriousnessness let me give 1 pearl of wisdom, men marry who they want and love within 1 year! This is how men think, they never waste their time, but they will waste yours. Ask a man and he will tell you he fell for his wife within a few months, some a few weeks. I love Nia and believe she will meet her King. She's good people and has a beautiful personality. This too shall pass. Ain't like she doesn't have millions of guys already begging. Lol
Wow, they say the woman he cheated with is the wife of the vice president of the Celetics. Yikes. They also say she ran and deleted all of her social media and LinkedIn account. This explains why he was given a brutal suspension for a consensual affair. He needs to look for another job because this will not work under any circumstance if the allegations prove to be true. No wonder the Celtics threw Ime out there but not the wife. Even before it came out, Stephen Smith said why does the public need to know about a consensual affair. Now we know why, the husband is big mad. Basic women stay fetting dudes.
WOW...this fool really really f'd up.
been with Nia for 10 years, they have a child together.
Messed up work, got suspended without pay for a year
he made $3.9 million last year. (wont be back if its the VP's wife)
Messed up home life!
CONSENSUAL or not....YOU DONT CHASE a white woman in BOSTON
I am surprised she didnt say it was rape.
i read today that Nia and their son had recently relocated to Boston from Cali.
Its Clear to see Why GOD Abhors infidelity. GOD IS GREAT!!!!!!!
IME UDOKA AFFAIR WAS WITH MARRIED CELTICS EXEC Kathleen Nimmo LYNCH a 33-YEAR-OLD Karen. I JUST KNEW IT WAS GUNNA BE A BECKY! Many were delusional thinking it was that Harvard-educated mixed lady! You need to understand that most straight black males don’t like nor respect black females. They always choose rancid milk over sweet chocolate.
I'm Black and my name is Karen and so I resent that. Her name is Kathleen, not Karen. Call her by her name.
Found photos online of Karen and her husband (Kathleen Lynch and Patrick Lynch). She ain’t nothing to write home about and he has thin lips with a big nose and beady eyes.
Uh-Oh! Bossston, White man wife, White mans your boss. This cant go down right.
So what he blindly moved NL out there to hold his hand while he cry thru it No, Mr Grown Man Sir hes not a Jr with that BS. They probably needed a reason to oust him anyways. Congrats on the win. 1 year. OK. Deuces lets see the next one who publicly screams out in his defense without the facts. They will all need to keep their support in the backyard of one of their own mansions because its wise to stay outta this one.
What Brett Favre is alleged to have done will severely impact black people for years to come but not sexy enough for black people to put the same energy into.
If Udoka involved himself with her it's his fault. Let him suffer the consequences for not following workplace policy. Not my problem.
Why call the woman Karen if her name is Kathleen? Call her Katy, maybe, but Karen? Doesn't make sense. Stop reaching.
Nia Long and Halle Berry never got happily ever after.
Humiliation is deal breaker.. Public or private
Supposedly, the woman helped him make travel arrangements for Ms. Long.
