While relationships are full of passion, the flip side of it also involves a lot of problems and conflicts. Richardson?s relationship with Brown wasn?t immune to problems either. In fact, the couple broke into several fights that escalated to abuse. The couple continued the bumpy ride for quite some time but decided they couldn?t continue further. Sha?Carri Richardson confessed via an Instagram post that the relationship was marred with verbal, emotional, and even physical abuse. In fact, the World Champion also admitted that she wasn?t cared for, and also experienced stealing.?
Richardson and Brown?s breakup and abuse confession
Sha?Carri Richardson took to Instagram and revealed the truth about her relationship, after staying tight-lipped about it earlier. She said, ?I was in a relationship with a Jamaican athlete that never cared about me from jumping. I was abused and stolen from yet protected her from the judgment of her country and family while they dragged me into it.? Janeek Brown denied the claims of Richardson and posted a video story hitting back at her. This triggered several Sha?Carri Richardson’s fans to troll, heckle, and attack Brown on social media. While Brown was an ex-girlfriend of Richardson now, the US sprinter didn?t turn away from her when she got cornered. Sha?Carri Richardson took to social media and defended her ex while asking her fans to back off.?
Richardson said, ?I did go online and expose a part of my life that didn?t need to be exposed for the simple fact that I was hurt.? She also admitted that both women were equally guilty in the relationship and the needle of pain swung both ways. Richardson said she wouldn?t let anybody attack a person she once loved, regardless of them being her past. This was followed by a confession from Brown on Kareem Bwoyatingz?s podcast, where she admitted to being abusive as well. Brown didn?t shy away from confessing that she has had her own backstory, which got badly projected on Richardson. Richardson has successfully buried Brown behind in her dating history. However, new rumors suggest that someone else has already taken the centerstage and is dating Sha?Carri Richardson. In fact, this new person is another US sprinting sensation who is one of Noah Lyles? strongest rivals.
Sha?Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman spark dating rumors
Christian Coleman is a sprinting machine, who is slowly overcoming top global athletes. He recently delivered a staunch finish at the Xiamen Diamond League and clocked 9.83 seconds for the gold. While this tied him with Lyles? personal best, his own personal best of 9.76 seconds already beats Lyles. Despite his sprinting prowess, Coleman made headlines at Budapest for a completely different reason. Sha?Carri Richardson dealt the winning blow in the women’s 4x100m relay race. An ecstatic Coleman rushed to Richardson to pick her up for celebration but accidentally ended up slamming her on the ground. While Richardson wasn?t hurt and instantly recovered, the cameras had already caught the elation in the body language of both sprinters.
