About celtics coach ime udoka cheating on nia long with the wife of a former celtics employee

AS MESSY AS CAN BE I wasn't going to write about this though I admit having an interest. The Black Celtic's coach cheated on a beautiful Black woman with whom he's been in a

long-term relationship, and they have a ten-year-old son. The woman named in Ime Udoka's affair is Kathleen Nimmo Lynch, and she's the married wife of a former Celtics employee

with three kids of her own. There is a lot of misinformation floating about. Many articles state that Kathleen Nimmo Lynch was the wife of Celtics Executive Vice-President Patrick Lynch,

which isn't true. Kathleen (33) is married to Taylor Lynch, who briefly worked for the Celtics for a few months before moving on to a consulting firm (Mercer Consulting) where he is an

associate. They have three children and also produced several Tik Tok videos promoting themselves as a happy couple with beautiful children. One of the partly true rumors is that Udoka

cheated with a Celtics travel consultant who helped arrange Nia Long's transition to the Boston area. Kathleen Nimmo Lynch was never a travel consultant for the Celtics. Information is

now coming out that Ime Udoka was also sleeping with the travel consultant. Other rumors say that Udoka was sleeping not only with the wife of a top Celtics executive but with several

married women in the organization. Udoka apparently never learned not to shit where you eat. Let's look closely at some of the principals involved and their possible motivations. Ime

Udoka's father, Vitalis, came to the United States from Nigeria to attend college at Portland State University, where he got his degree in Business Administration. Vitalis met

Ime's mother at Portland State; they married and raised their family in Portland, Oregon. Ime Udoka attended Jefferson High School, where he was a basketball star, earning a scholarship

to the College of Eastern Utah, where he was All-Conference and won a conference championship. Looking for greater opportunities, he transferred to a four-year college, the University of

San Francisco. Not finding the success he hoped for, he came home to Portland State University, leading the team in most categories and suffering a knee injury that hampered future

opportunities in the N.B.A. Udoka spent two years rehabbing his knee, reinjuring it while playing on a minor league basketball team in North Dakota, between tryouts with the Portland

Trailblazers and working for an overnight shipping company. Most people would have let the N.B.A. dream die, but Udoka kept working after short stints with the Lakers and playing

professionally in France and Spain. He caught on with the Trailblazers and started every game for Portland, whose training camp started just after his father's death. The first stop on

Udoka's journey, which may have affected his choices, was Blanding, Utah. Where he attended junior college at Utah State University Eastern, he would have become familiar with Mormons,

which was the religion of Celtics executive Danny Ainge and Kathleen Nimmo Lynch and her husband Taylor, who all attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. At Utah State University

Eastern, Ime would also have few female companionship options other than white women. Perhaps there is where he acquired the taste? Nia Long has been held up as the epitome of a beautiful

Black woman since her teen years. Since she starred as Lisa Wilkes on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and later in the movies "Love Jones" and "Boyz in the Hood," Nia

was looked at as a strong, beautiful, Black woman to whom you had better come correct. Nia was born in Brooklyn, NY, and moved with her mother to Iowa City, IA, after her parents divorced

when she was two. When Nia was seven, she went with her mother to Los Angeles as her mother planned to be married to someone there. Her fiance called off the wedding, and maybe that's

when Nia decided she would never marry, though she and Udoka announced their engagement in 2015. Nia and her mother remained in Los Angeles, with Nia later getting acting instruction from

Betty Bridges, the mother of actor Todd Bridges. She appeared for three years on "The Guiding Light" after appearing in a Disney televised movie, "The B.R.A.T. Patrol."

We all think we know Nia from her long career in television and film, and it's likely true that none of us do. Of the people involved in this messy affair, Nia and her ten-year-old son

bear no responsibility. Anyone looking to blame her would do best to keep her name out of their mouths. Some claim she should have seen the signs, and others throw out possibilities about an

alleged open relationship. She is seven years older than Udoka, meaning she was robbing the cradle though the reverse situation is hardly scorned. The one thing Nia Long is guilty of is

trusting a man that abused that privilege. The level of Udoka's abuse is just beginning to come out. Retired N.B.A. player Matt Barnes told us without details that the situation is

"100 times worse than thought." Additional details are leaking daily, and it seems Matt Barnes is correct. Finally, we get to Kathleen Nimmo Lynch, the only woman named thus far in

this messy business. However, Ime Udoka was suspended for a year due to his involvement in an allegedly consensual affair. Kathleen has seen no such punishment though one source says

she's subject to future league discipline. He wasn't technically suspended for the affair; he was charged with using "unwanted comments" toward an unspecified female

staff member. The Celtics found a charge they could apply solely to Udoka that didn't include the woman/women involved. We will see if Kathleen ultimately faces punishment or whether

she ends up portrayed as one of many victims of Udoka's charm and abuse of power. Kathleen was born and raised in Massachusetts before heading off to Brigham Young University, from

which she graduated in 2006. She then went to England for a year and attended The American University in London before returning to Boston. Though both attended Brigham Young University, she

didn't meet her husband Taylor in college as they were there in different years. It's hard to say until more facts reveal Kathleen's role in this fiasco. She was cheating on

her husband and the father of their three young children. Was she overcome by jungle fever, throwing herself at Ime Udoka, or was she one of many that fell for his game? She has found

she's treated as the town whore that ruined the Celtics, finding it impossible to go to the grocery store without being taunted and ridiculed. Kathleen has long been a friend of fellow

Mormon and Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge. He helped Kathleen to get her job with the Celtics and was aware for months of a Celtics internal investigation before the news broke in

September 2022. We don't definitively know of any other relationships Kathleen or Ime may have had within or outside the Celtic organization. A bright light is focused on the Boston

Celtics organization, and a few more roaches are bound to scurry as details unfold. This story will be updated as needed.
