He’s still a victim just one that wants to be a victim bc it’s probably embarrassing
Once a rachet always a rachet! They never learn!
Please STOP. She is an Olympic woman idol that maybe some young girls would love to be like one day. Focus on how committed she is in her craft. An Epic track star. (Everyone) go through problems with there mate. Print/talk how serious she is at running track not her personal life. That way young girls will believe in the result for a better tomorrow 🙏..
I rebuke this negative sprit. We love you 😍. Focus on your craft Sha' carri
Oh no
Not too bright.
SMH 🙄
life in prison?
People need to treat this the say way they do when this situation is reversed.
I'm glad she's out
She's so fast that she can't even get out of her own way. Sorry for the horrible dad joke 😅. But seriously this woman is so talented yet continues to make poor decisions.
I didn’t know that they were dating, and it’s been 2 years! 😁
Sha’Carri had a difficult upbringing, and women are more SENSITIVE than men.
Most younger men, especially, don’t realize that women are more sensitive than men, so men who are unaware will often say or do something that triggers a woman, and the woman (usually a Black woman in the US) defends herself.
If they are both immature, they’ll argue, and she’ll get so angry that she’ll want to fight, because her feelings are hurt, and he doesn’t seem to care that he hurt her feelings, so something has to change, like Sha’Carri Richardson said about this.
A mature woman will calmly tell her man that she doesn’t like what he says or does, and if he’s mature, he’ll stop the behavior that she doesn’t like. ✨
What did he do to her?
I find it hilarious that people want her to lose her endorsement.
A show of hands of who's surprised?
STAY OFF THE WEEEEEEED!!! 😂😂
Same group different day
Not surprised!
Poor girl. Soooo talented but unstable life choices
Really Coleman. Press charges. It's called consequences. It's going to escalate without some type of intervention. You've been warned.
They don’t learn goes for men and woman
The United States Sentencing Commission reported that, on average, men receive 63% longer sentences than women do, even after controlling for factors like criminal history and offense type.
She better hope this charge won't ruin her chances for the Olympics.
