I don’t disagree with the rest of your post but the female also publicly cheated on her husband, a complete breach of trust, committed a workplace misdemeanor and to my knowledge, unlike Ime, faced no suspension or firing.

Because one person here said the words “shouldn’t have let him smash” doesn’t mean a good chunk of the internet isn’t also isn’t bashing Ime as well. And because he’s a high profile individual the amount of backlash he’s actually getting is 10x her. You have to specially dig google to even find her name, Ime has been blasted all over the internet, TV, ever since this happened. And because of who his GF is “wow can’t believe he really did that to HER” while nobody gives a **** about this lady cheating on her man and their 3 children.

For the rest of your post being sorta even-keeled this last bit was randomly one-sided for two people who supposedly did the same thing.

Wife/girlfriend/fiancée, doesn’t matter. Still a long *** relationship of over a decade, with a kid involved, still a ****ty thing to do. That’s not the point

Again, consent is variable. Consent can be given under duress, by definition. Legally, coercion rules out consent, but this isn’t a legal matter

And again, we’ll never know the extent to which consent even applies here. Who is telling us it was consensual?

The point I’m making is we don’t know what happened and speculation doesn’t help, regardless of which side of the fence you’re on because it just leads to some misogynistic ****. It always goes this way, always. They might both be genuinely bad people for what they’ve done, but we’re only ever going to hear one side’s story and a raft of support for that person from prominent people, right?

Whichever of the 30 articles you click on google is telling us it’s consensual. Was it? Idk but we don’t currently have a reason to assume otherwise.

Let’s say it wasn’t.. explain what the gain is here from her side of this? This isn’t somebody in the corporate world working in payables sleeping with the CFO who can promote her, fire her, give her more/less work, give her a raise, a bigger bonus, etc. What was Ime going to do in this specific example? Tell upper management to promote the teams service manager from booking flights up to an assistant coach role to join him on the bench?

I don’t feel like this has been the case with this example at all. He’s received basically all the backlash, and the massive majority of the twitter/internet reactions and jokes have been something along the lines of “wow I can’t believe he would cheat on Nia Long”. I’m not sure where we’ve been hearing one side of a story, or a raft of support because there hasn’t been a story for anybody to support. Or how the female has gotten the worse end of this. Everything that’s been released has just stated a consensual relationship, that didn’t last long, with both of them trying to fix their relationships with their husband/GF.

The whole predator thing that started this discussion is actually the first time I’ve seen/heard of anybody blame either side for anything more than what we we’ve been told. And that’s definitely not falling into the category of what you’re saying in this quote.

****, I gave him crap because of who he cheated on. I haven’t seen the other person involved but I’m going to assume she’s not badder than Nia Long and I feel pretty confident in that because…well, there’s not too many women badder than her.

Who he ****s ain’t my business and don’t really care who he did ****.

Now do I think he needs to be blackballed from coaching? I said at the time “no” and still believe that now. Do I think he’s some sort of pervert/creep/monster/etc? I don’t but I also know it’s not as black/white as it may seem especially when you have two parties here who allegedly both ****ed up(one probably lost her marriage while the other one’s relationship is going to remain in tact, luckily for him).

I read that they weren't really together together and that they were just partners to raise their kid. Kind of an open relationship, so cheating on that end might not even be a thing.

Ime was like "I'm Jada in this, not going to let myself get Will'd"

Cheating isn’t as black/white as people think(speaking strictly for bf/gf relationships). I know we like to believe “Oh, you cheated on me, we’re finished!” is how it should be…but it’s not.

Now cheating while married…that’s generally considered more “worse” in society.
