As many of you may know, s**t kinda hit the fan for the actress last month when her longtime partner, Ime Udoka, head coach of the Boston Celtics, was suspended from the entire 2022-23 NBA season, pending an investigation regarding his “violations of team policies.” What violations, you may ask?

Fans and industry members alike quickly showed her even more love and support in the comments section of her post, with Tina Knowles-Lawson writing:
