Hell broke loose for Sha’Carri Richardson after her 100m prelims at the USATF championships at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, following a dispute with her boyfriend, fellow sprinter Christian Coleman. Surveillance footage showed Richardson shoving Coleman multiple times and allegedly throwing an object at him near a TSA checkpoint. She was charged with fourth-degree domestic assault and detained for nearly 19 hours at the SCORE South Correctional Facility in Des Moines, Washington.
Coleman chose not to press charges and publicly defended Richardson, emphasizing her humanity and the emotional challenges she faces. Richardson was released the following day and later withdrew from the 100-meter event at the U.S. Track and Field Championships. She then went out in the 200m, but couldn’t even qualify based on her time.
Now, she is reflecting. Read her apology to Coleman and self-reflection…
“Hey y’all, it’s Sha’Carri, and more than anything, definitely a lot of self-reflection, a lot of understanding of not only putting myself in a compromise situation, with somebody that I have a deep care and appreciation for as well.” Sha’Carri Richardson expressed herself in an Instagram story on August 11.
Calling Coleman somebody she has deep care and appreciation for, and Coleman also defending her after the arrest, proves they both have the spark alive, despite the recent bad blood. Very maturely, the 100m world champion had also owned up to her mistake.
She further reflected, “holding myself accountable. I see myself, I’m taking this time to not only see myself, but give myself a certain level of help that overall is going to reflect who I truly am in my heart and my spirit, and not allowing this moment, but accepting this moment to be more.” The Olympian confessed that she wants to be more, not just for herself but for her family and fans as well.
This is a developing report…
