“Even if they’re not together, that is the father of her child,” Smith began. “If you mention him and another woman, inevitably, she’s going to come up. How come nobody thought about the sister? How come they just left her out there standing on her own? I will always defend her. I will always defend her on this issue. It was- how could you do that? You didn’t have to do it that way. But to have a press conference and put this business tacitly or otherwise on Front Street, you didn’t think about Nia Long at all. But you thought about the other woman, who purportedly was white. And the one woman in this equation who was innocent and victimized was not the woman that Ime Udoka was messing around with. It was Nia Long. She was the one screwed over!”
“Thank you @stephenasmith for your support. TBC…” she wrote while adding a quote from Malcolm X. “‘The most disrespected person in America is the black woman’ – Malcolm X.” Udoka accepted the job as the head coach of the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. It’s his first gig in the league since his Celtics suspension.
Stephen A. Smith recently defended Nia Long with much passion concerning the cheating scandal of her ex, former Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka. Not only that, but his words resonated so profoundly with the actress that she thanked him in the comments section of his post. “Even if they’re not together, that is the father of her child,” Smith began. “If you mention him and another woman, inevitably, she’s going to come up. How come nobody thought about the sister? How come they just left her out there standing on her own? I will always defend her. I will always defend her on this issue. It was- how could you do that?
“You didn’t have to do it that way,” Stephen A. Smith continued. “But to have a press conference and put this business tacitly or otherwise on Front Street, you didn’t think about Nia Long at all. But you thought about the other woman, who purportedly was white. And the one woman in this equation who was innocent and victimized was not the woman that Ime Udoka was messing around with. It was Nia Long. She was the one screwed over!”
In the comments, the actress shared her thoughts on his response and expressed gratitude for his support. “Thank you @stephenasmith for your support. TBC…” she wrote, and added another comment quoting none other than Malcolm X. “‘The most disrespected person in America is the black woman’ – Malcolm X.” Moreover, Nia Long has been dealing with this scandal quite gracefully, despite having to hear about it through social media. Another aspect that many haven’t considered in this equation is how this affects her son, who she’s spent a lot of time caring and advocating for. “My only focus right now is my youngest son ’cause he’s having a really tough time,” she expressed. “I’m sure I have some things that I’m suppressing, but I have to do that to take care of him first. That’s the giving. It’s natural.
“I’m sure I’ll have to circle back with myself several times to reconcile things, but the one thing I’m trying not to harbor is anger,” she continued. “The Celtics made a choice to make my family business public, and I don’t understand why. It could’ve all been handled internally. I do understand why, but I can’t talk about it. Maybe one day I will. You know, fear drives stupidity, and I’ll leave that right there. I’ve learned that I’m stronger than I ever thought I was. [The support for her online] saved my mental well-being because I felt uplifted by the community in a way that felt like my family was checking in and making sure I was OK. And that, I appreciated.” Stick around on HNHH for the latest on Stephen A. Smith and Nia Long.

She quickly shut down speculations with a public disclaimer, “Everybody simmer down… I’m single AF”. She told The Cut that she currently has no interest in a serious relationship, despite the public interest. She said, “My mind is not even there at all. I want to go out and have amazing, important, deep, thoughtful conversations.”

She told The Cut, “For the last 22 years, I’ve been pouring out. But at a certain point, you’re like, Woo, I’m looking a little tired. Even if I can’t see it, I can feel it.

Later in the interview, Long called out the Celtics organization for choosing to make their business public knowledge. “The Celtics made a choice to make my family business public, and I don’t understand why,” she said. “It could’ve all been handled internally. I do understand why, but I can’t talk about it. Maybe one day I will. You know, fear drives stupidity, and I’ll leave that right there. I’ve learned that I’m stronger than I ever thought I was.”
Despite the drama, Nia Long says that the support she’s received from fans has helped her get through it. “It saved my mental well-being because I felt uplifted by the community in a way that felt like my family was checking in and making sure I was OK,” she shared. “And that, I appreciated.”
Udoka apologized after the incident became public. “I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision,” he said in a statement to ESPN. “Out of respect for everyone involved, I will have no further comment.” He’s yet to officially join another team.
In the modern dating world, age-gap relationships have proven to be increasingly popular. While some, such as Cher and AE Edwards, are okay with having decades separating them from their partners, others like to keep it to a span of just a few years. Many of these unions often earn the couples criticism. Still, none are more dangerous than those taking place between an underage girl and a grown man. In a resurfaced clip, Nia Long admits to finding herself in a situation like this during high school.
Her most recent ex, Ime Udoka, is actually seven years her junior. However, before she was an adult herself, the New York native seems to have acquired a taste for older men. “I wasn’t a girl that ever went to prom,” she confessed in an interview that took place six years ago.

“Like, my boyfriend was 30 when I was in high school! I know, my mother was crazy. I mean that in a good way, like she was an artist,” Long told the laughing audience. “She was like, ‘Well if that’s who you love, baby!’ And he was so good to me and kind,” the mother of two added, pausing for a fit of laughter herself.
According to the 52-year-old, her much-older boyfriend approached her and made his interest known “the right way.” He firstly went to the Friday actresses’ mom, telling the woman that he was in love with Nia. “He said, ‘I love your daughter and I want to date your daughter,’ and he asked permission,” she recalled. Immediately, after sharing the memory, Long noticed a woman in the audience obviously expressing her emotions.
“Look at you, you’re like ‘That ain’t happening with my baby,’” she teased the patron while pointing at them. “But you know what he taught me?” the Brooklyn native asked the crowd. “‘Cuz he owned a hair salon. He taught me how to do my own hair and makeup,” she finished, leaving listeners in stitches over the wildness of the whole relationship.
Since her sudden split from Ime Udoka, Long’s love life has certainly spent its share of time in the public eye. For the most part, she seems to be having fun and snapping photos with various celebrity bachelors out there, though she’s also been keeping busy with work. Her latest project, Netflix’s You People, premiered on the streaming service recently, much to fan’s pleasure.
In the weeks since then, the starlet has been vocal about her acting career, and the casting decisions she feels left out of. Specifically, Nia named Zoë Saldaña in Avatar as a role she would have been interested in bringing to life. Read what else she had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
In a sit-down interview with New York magazine’s The Cut, actress Nia Long revealed her recent breakup has been hard on her youngest son.
Nia admitted she is exhausted by the life change and assuming the roles of both parents to her youngest son. Long says it’s difficult raising her youngest son without his father, Ime Udoka. The 52-year-old actress split from Udoka after he cheated on her with a Boston Celtics employee. Udoka was suspended from his job as Celtics head coach for a year in 2022. Long packed her bags and relocated to the Los Angeles area with their 11-year-old son, Kez Udoka and her eldest son, Massai, 22.
“For the last 22 years, I’ve been pouring out. But at a certain point, you’re like, Woo, I’m looking a little tired,” she says. “Even if I can’t see it, I can feel it. So I try to pour into myself and let everyone know this is a ‘do not disturb’ period.”
“My only focus right now is my youngest son ’cause he’s having a really tough time. I’m sure I have some things that I’m suppressing, but I have to do that to take care of him first. That’s the giving. It’s natural. I’m sure I’ll have to circle back with myself several times to reconcile things. But the one thing I’m trying not to harbor is anger.”
