“We’re Not letting A Man, Who Didn’t Recognize The Luxury Her Presence Was, Dim All Her Beauty And Glory” | NY Congressman Shoots His Shot At Nia Long

Posted byBy Jarod Hector | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Shooters shoot, right?! Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D) is apparently shooting his shot with actress Nia Long. The uber talented Long is in the news because her longtime partner, Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka, had an affair with a female member of his staff and he has since been suspended for the upcoming 2022-23 season. Now’s as good a time as any for Bowman, right?

“We’re not letting a man, who didn’t recognize the luxury her presence was, dim all her beauty and glory,” tweeted Bowman. “Matter of fact, we need a Nia Long national holiday!”

Long issued a statement on Friday regarding the situation with Udoka.

“The outpouring of love and support from family, friends and the community during this difficult time means so much to me,” Long says in a new statemenT. “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.”

There it is. He was just offering support y’all. Why does everyone always think if a man is supportive of a woman, that there is an ulterior motive?

Reports suggest that Long was blindsided by news of the affair breaking. She had recently moved to Boston with Kez, her 10-year-old son with Udoka, just a few weeks ago, and they were allegedly house hunting.

Udoka knew the Celtics were aware of his affair with a married front office staffer back in July and he knew it was going to go public this week and he still allowed Long to move out to Boston with no clue. That’s some wild hubris on the part of Udoka.
This situation has a lot of pieces that the public may never know. The Celtics held a press conference on Friday that did nothing to squash any further speculation. If anything, the vague comments and answers from owner Wyc Grousbeck and president of basketball operations Brad Stevens, will only fuel further speculation.
As for Bowman, he may have been just offering support, but the online conversation around this Udoka situation has shown the vast majority of us are ill-equipped to discuss the situation in a healthy manner. Never mind the fact that most of us are operating from a position of limited knowledge on the situation.
Now is as good a time as any to delete those tweets in your drafts with a take you believe will make you Twitter famous or whatever. Step away from your laptops, put your phones down. At the end of the day there are real people and families involved in this situation.
The parties involved, every female staffer on the Celtics, they all need grace right now as this situation unfolds and resolves.
