Doing her best to protect her son from the noisy reporter, the mother of two hurriedly navigated the parking lot to reach her vehicle. However, the paparazzi will not be deterred, and he follows Long’s pace as he asks questions.
The man’s determination to get answers may be because this mother-daughter vacation marks the first time the actor has been seen since his fiancée’s cheating scandal emerged.
For a woman whose partner cheated on her, the NAACP Image Award winner seemed unfazed by the incident. For her shopping trip with Kez, the mother-of-two sported a plunging black top, jeans and a pair of dark sunglasses.

The youngest followed the casual theme with a purple T-shirt, face cover, black pants and shoes designed with a black and white pattern. While the couple looked great, it was impossible not to notice the absence of Long’s shiny engagement ring.
Although the reporter tried to get the “Love Jones” star to express her feelings about Udoka’s cheating, the 51-year-old refused to comment on the situation. However, his body language will not be silenced.
When asked if she was “dealing” with the disgraced Boston Celtics coach, the Hollywood heartthrob laughed before getting into her car with her son in tow.

Last month, The Blast reported that Long broke his silence on Udoka’s affair with a Celtics employee. For violating team policy, the former Basketball player received a temporary suspension from his position as head coach.
Following the news of her fiance’s infidelity, the “Soul Food” actress released a statement expressing her gratitude to her fans and loved ones for their support. The New Yorker noted that it was a difficult time and asked people to respect her privacy because she did not want the incident to affect her job as a mother.
During their long relationship, Long and Udoka welcomed a son named Kez Sunday Udoka in 2011. Entertainer Massai Dorsey II’s first son was born during his relationship with actress Massai Dorsey.
Once the Nigerian-American felt the wrath of the internet, The Blast revealed that the Portland native wrote an apology message on Twitter. In his statement, the 45-year-old sought forgiveness from his colleagues, team, family and fans.
Although he stated that he put his team in a “difficult situation” and deserved punishment, the suspended coach made no mention of his fiancée. This apparent omission angered Twitter fans, many of whom stated that Udoka was more concerned with his image than hurting Long.
