For Richardson, the new year hasn’t brought with it a great start. The athlete previously got into a tussle with a flight attendant. And now, a series of videos has fans concerned about her mental well-being. A compilation by Sprint Factory on YouTube analyzed what these messages could mean. The video featured the athlete sitting in her car, having an honest conversation about how things have turned out for her.
Richardson begins by mentioning how she was trying to be honest and face her past, while reflecting on her reputation. The athlete argued that there were some opinions about her that she did not agree with. Nevertheless, she had to stay quiet to protect some people in her life. However, according to Richardson, these people whom she has ‘protected’ have twisted narratives, to show her in a negative light.

Continuing her rant, Richardson talked about people who would turn one’s childhood dream into a nightmare. In a concerning anecdote, the star revealed, “it might bring up a lot, it might cost a lot, it might start up s***. But at the end of the day, it’s my truth and if nobody else is ready to face their truth, then you should have never tried to poison me.” Coming from Richardson, who considers her family to be her everything, this was a cryptic message.
Unfortunately, Richardson has been in the limelight recently, for fairly difficult reasons. In another incident, the star sprinter was asked to step off a flight for violating the airline’s rules.
