Amid the scandal, Long explained that the news was “devastating” for their son Kez during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“He still has moments where it’s not easy for him… I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my son’s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public,” she explained at the time. ”
No one from the Celtics organization has even called to see if I’m OK, to see if my children are OK, It’s very disappointing.”
Since the scandal, Long has remained vocal about her commitment to her role as a mother, even sharing an exclusive statement with PEOPLE.
“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.”
