Joumana Kidd finally defended herself against suspended Boston columnist Bob Ryan's barbs and the perception she is a bad mother because she schleps her 4-year-old son, T.J., to the Nets' night games. Ryan said Jason Kidd's wife uses "T.J" as a "prop" to get "face time" on camera.

In an interview with The Post on Mother's Day eve, Joumana revealed she consulted the female principal of T.J.'s preschool about bringing him to night games.
