'My person helps me see who I am'-Sha’Carri Richardson reveals the heartfelt truth about her romance
Sha’Carri Richardson opens up about her supportive relationship, revealing how trust and love have helped her heal and grow.
But had things turned out differently, Richardson would perhaps be making news as an American-Jamaican athletics power couple, just like Lyles and Bromfield, having been in a relationship with Jamaican sprinter Janeek Brown.
However, her relationship with Brown ran its course in 2022 when she accused the sprinter of abusing and stealing from her while she also alleged that Jamaicans subjected her to homophobic attacks.
“I was in a relationship with a Jamaican athlete that never cared about me from jump,” the then 22-year-old Richardson shared on her Instagram stories.
“I was abused and stole from yet protected her from the judgment of her country and family while they dragged me. I had to deal with homophobic and so much more that I’m still healing from.”
“I don’t understand how someone can just walk out of your life and not care about you anymore,” a hurting Richardson said in another post.
Brown would later deny the allegations, claiming everything was “lies” but in another interview, she admitted that she was indeed abusive to her American partner.
“I was abusive once that there's physical evidence of. And we moved on, and even after then, I was trying to move on from that, we still got nowhere,” said Brown.
“Yeah, I was going through something – I was finding myself, that's why I am coming to social media, you feel me? So yeah, it's a transformation; I'm going to find myself now. I may look different now.”

'I was abusive' - Sha’Carri Richardson's ex-girlfriend admits to physical abuse in relationship
Sha’Carri Richardson's ex-girlfriend Janeek Brown admitted to physically abusing her during their tumultuous relationship.
One person who has since found herself is Richardson as the situation happened at a time when she was dealing with a lot in her life.
The sprinter had been locked out of the Tokyo Olympics the year before, despite winning the 100m trials, after she tested positive for Cannabis, later admitting that she took the drug to cope with the death of her biological mother.
She, however, bounced back to make it to the 2023 World Championships where she won gold in 100m and bronze in 200m before claiming Olympics silver in 100m and gold in 4x100m in Paris this year.
Now more focused and having found love and comfort in the arms of Coleman, 2025 promises to be a season of more success for the 24-year-old.
