On Tuesday, sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson issued a public apology to her boyfriend, Christian Coleman. While taking to her Instagram account, the 4-time gold medalist expressed that she “can’t apologize enough” to him following her arrest on domestic violence.

Two weeks ago, the American international found herself in trouble. According to reports from The Athletic, the couple would get involved in a heated domestic dispute. Richardson would shove him away several times and was even reported to have hit him with an object.

Her outburst was labeled as a fourth-degree domestic violence. She was later arrested at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The track and field athlete was released 19 hours after the arrest as Coleman decided not to press charges against her.

Since then, the two of them would compete in the USATF National Championships. On Tuesday, a few days after her arrest, Richardson broke her silence on the matter.

In a long message on her Instagram stories, she expressed that she was “blind” and “blocked” due to her past life trauma.

I apologize to Christian. He came into my life and gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I’ve experienced in my past. Due to my past trauma and pain, I was blind and blocked off to not only receive it but give it. I love him and to him I can’t apologize enough. My apologize should be just as loud as my actions honestly louder. To Christian I love you and I am so sorry.

At the USATF Outdoor Championship, Coleman would address the situation. The sprinter thought the situation was overblown and would reveal why he refused to press any sort of charges against her despite being assaulted in a public place.

She has a lot of things going on, a lot of emotions and forces going on inside of her that not only I can’t understand, but nobody can. She’s one of one. And I’m one of one too.

Christian Coleman said

At the 2025 USATF Championship, Coleman would have a disappointing performance. The former World Champion finished 5th despite clocking a season best 9.86 seconds finish.

She would finish 4th with a time of 22.56 seconds. Madison Whyte, who took the last qualifying spot, finished 0.01 seconds ahead of Richardson and earned her place in the 200m race at the World Athletics in Tokyo later this year.

She has a bye for the 100m race in this tournament due to her status as the defending champion. However, her dreams of competing in the 200m race are over following this 4th place finish.
