Richardson apologizes to Coleman, speaks about domestic violence arrest
The 25-year-old US sprint star, who took 100m silver at last year's Paris Olympics and the 2023 world crown at Budapest, was arrested on July 27 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after shoving boyfriend Coleman.
Both competed days later at the US championships in Eugene, Oregon, where Coleman, who reportedly did not press charges, said she should not have been arrested.
Richardson, nevertheless, apologized in an Instagram posting about the incident.
"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 wrote.
"Due to my 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."
In a video on social media, Richardson said she put herself "in a compromised situation" and has done "definitely a lot of self-reflection." and "I hold myself accountable" for her actions.
"I'm taking this time to not only see myself but get myself a certain level of help that overall is going to reflect who I truly am in my heart and my spirit and not allowing this moment -- but accepting this moment -- to be more."
Richardson said she wanted to be held accountable to be her best self by family and fans.
"I refuse to run away but to face everything that comes to me head on because everything on the other side is great but you've got to go through in order to get there," she said.
Richardson withdrew from the 100m semi-finals at the US meet but because she is the reigning 100 world champion she has qualified for the event at the World Championships next month in Tokyo.

Saffron party raises issue in Assembly
Raising the matter during the Zero Hour, BJP state President B Y Vijayendra said Nayak from the Valmiki community was murdered heinously for being in love with a woman from another community. Noting that the accused had made reels using the machete a day ahead of the murder and had posted the video on Instagram, he alleged that police not taking caution had led to the murder. Claiming that only after the protests, police took action and made arrests, Vijayendra pointing out that Nayak's family is poor, demanded compensation for them, as Rs 25 lakh was given to the family of Mohammed Fazil, who was killed in Mangaluru. 'As Gavisiddappa Nayak family is poor, a minimum of Rs 50 lakh compensation should be given, along with 2 acre land and a government job to one of his family members,' he said, adding that the case should be handed over to NIA, as there is no faith on the police department. Later, when Speaker U T Khader said that the government will give its reply on Thursday, as the home minister was not present, the BJP members demanded an answer today itself, as it was a serious case. This led to a heated exchange between BJP and the ruling Congress. The BJP members, including C N Ashwath Narayan, accused the government of showing negligence in the case, and questioned whether the 'government is alive?' Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi hit back, alleging that the opposition party was playing politics over death, and asserted that the administration had taken prompt action in the case. The Speaker denied any further discussion on the issue as it was raised under the Zero Hour. He said the government will give its reply when the home minister is present in the House.
