Olympian Sha’Carri Richardson is taking accountability for her actions.
In the wake of her domestic violence arrest, the Olympian offered a public apology to her boyfriend, Christian Coleman.
“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,” Richardson, 25, wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, August 12. “Due to 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.”
She continued, “My apology should be just as loud as my actions, honestly louder. To Christian, I love you and I am so sorry.”

The incident was also allegedly caught on a security camera.
Coleman refused to press charges and “declined to be a victim,” per the report.
“For me personally, I feel like it was a sucky situation all round,” Coleman told reporters on August 3. “I don’t feel like she should have been arrested. I mean people have discussions and emotions and stuff like that.”
The case — which was first reported by LetsRun.com — has since been cleared, but not before Richardson spent nearly 19 hours in custody at the SCORE South Correctional Entity in Washington.

Richardson earned a silver medal in the 100m at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She also was part of Team USA’s gold-medal winning 4×100-relay team. Most recently, the athlete competed in the U.S. track and field championships, which was held in July.
