Nia Long recently opened up about the scandal involving her longtime partner, Ime Udoka, who was suspended as the Boston Celtics head coach in September.

The actor said she was disappointed about the lack of support from the Celtics organization in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Thursday.

If youre in the business of protecting women Im sorry, no one from the Celtics organization has even called to see if Im OK, to see if my children are OK. Its very disappointing, she said.

Long had explained that the teams decision to host a press conference about Udokas suspension took a toll on their 11-year-old son, Kez. She took Kez out of school after news of Udokas scandal broke, according to the publication. Long also has a 22-year-old son, Massai, from a previous relationship.

I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my sons face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public, she said. It was devastating, and it still is. He still has moments where its not easy for him.

The Boston Celtics did not immediately return a call for comment.
