Sprint star Sha'Carri Richardson addresses domestic violence arrest and apologises to boyfriend Christian Coleman
Richardson posted a video on her Instagram account Monday night in which she said she put herself in a 'compromised situation.' She issued a written apology to Coleman on Tuesday morning. 'I love him & to him I can't apologise enough,' the reigning 100m world champion wrote in all capital letters on Instagram, adding that her apology 'should be just as loud' as her 'actions'. 'To Christian, I love you & I am so sorry,' she wrote. Richardson was arrested July 27 on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense for allegedly assaulting Coleman at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. She was booked into South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, for more than 18 hours. In the video, Richardson said she's practicing 'self-reflection' and refuses 'to run away but face everything that comes to me head on'. According to the police report, an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, Coleman, the 2019 world 100m champion. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. Later in the report, it said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, with the TSA indicating it may have been headphones. The officer said in the report: "I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' ADVERTISEMENT Richardson wrote that Coleman 'came into my life & gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I've experienced in my past'. She won the 100m at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100m relay to an Olympic gold. She didn't compete during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 following a positive marijuana test at the US Olympic trials.

Celebrity SAS's Rudy Reyes accused of secret affair with Real Housewife behind husband's back
Phypers has denied being emotionally and physically abusive to his ex Denise Richards CHEAT SHOCK Celebrity SAS's Rudy Reyes accused of secret affair with Real Housewife behind husband's back CELEBRITY SAS star Rudy Reyes has been accused of having an affair with Real Housewife Denise Richards by her estranged husband. Aaron Phypers, 49, filed for divorce from former Bond girl Richards, 54, last month following an explosive row. 5 Rudy Reyes has been accused of having an affair with Denise Richards Credit: Getty 5 Denise starred on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test in 2023 Credit: Getty 5 Aaron Phypers filed for divorce from Richards last month Credit: Getty The American businessman has now claimed he discovered Richards was cheating on him with former Marine Reyes, 53, back in April. Richards starred with Reyes in the third series of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test in 2023. The military instructor split from his gun instructor girlfriend Jade Struck, 25, earlier this year. In an interview with The Mail, Phypers said Richards had promised to break things off with Reyes, only to hook up with him the following month in a California hotel. That alleged rendezvous was the basis for their July showdown that signalled the end of their marriage. READ MORE ON CELEBRITY SAS marching orders Celebrity SAS star axed after 'lying & cheating' on show - as another quits Phypers said: "I'm broken-hearted and f***ing tired. Really, she's f***ed me up. "We've been together nine years and for her to do that and to lie to me consistently - I'm totally tired and drained." He said the relationship had been rocky for some time, aggravated by six house moves over the course of their relationship and dozens of pets under their care. He said Richards owned 58 dogs, two pot-bellied pigs, and an 'incontinent' Sphinx cat. The disgruntled ex also accused Richards of being addicted to vicodin and alcohol. But the breaking point came when Phypers said he discovered 107 messages between Richards and Reyes, some of which detailed hotel meet ups and included intimate photos. Furious TV bosses yell at us for pushing celebs too hard, admits Rudy Reyes as he reveals reason why NONE of the stars would pass day 1 of SAS training He told the publication: "I just had this feeling that something was off because her behavior had changed – she was being kind of cool to me. "I opened her phone – we both know each other's passwords - so I opened it up and then I went to her deleted texts and there were 107 of them between her and this guy. "I went through them and it just broke my heart." Following Phypers and Richards' row in July, the actress filed a lawsuit accusing him of physical and verbal abuse, including leaving her with a black eye. Phypers has vehemently denied the claims, telling US Weekly, "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone. "These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. "I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect. I ask for privacy as we navigate personal matters, and I hope that the public and media will refrain from spreading harmful and baseless claims.'

Racist attacks by young people in Ireland 'a national crisis', says special rapporteur
Racist attacks in Ireland have intensified in recent months, with teenagers and young people perpetrating the majority of incidents, the special rapporteur on racial equality has said. Dr Ebun Joseph, chief executive of the Institute of Antiracism and Black Studies, who is also the special rapporteur for the National Plan Against Racism, said that a rise in incidents of crime involving members of minority communities is becoming a national crisis. Recent attacks on members of the Indian community have been widely condemned. The Ireland India Council believes there is an organised social media campaign against the Indian community here and the number of violent attacks has intensified since January this year. A large crowd gathered outside the Department of the Taoiseach on Wednesday for a silent assembly in support of migrant workers. Dr Joseph said that racism and racial crime is not a "new thing" in Ireland. "It's been there. The black community, the Roma community, the new Traveller community have experienced racism in Ireland for years," she said. "This is not a new fight but in the last few months it has intensified. What is scary is that right now we have teenagers actually perpetrating these acts. Dr Ebun Joseph: 'What is scary is that right now we have teenagers actually perpetrating these acts.' File photo: Cate McCurry/PA "Young people are being made to think that violence against another person because of the colour of their skin or where they are from or their accent, that to feel that is right to do is a major problem. This is a national crisis." Shashank Chakerwarti, of Desi Community Against Racism, said the protest also honours the dignity of victims of racist attacks. "Another person was severely lacerated on his eyebrow just yesterday. His brow was cut into two pieces. Images of that sends chills down your body. "We want to send a clear message to the Taoiseach (Micheál Martin) that you need to control this teenage violence and criminal activity that is going on in Dublin. "There's been a lot of content directly taken from the British narrative, of migrants coming to Ireland via boats, but that is not the case. The far right are using that narrative and are applying it here which is completely incorrect." He said there is a severe frustration that some individuals are feeling, "especially in deprived communities and areas where you don't see a lot of investment and local services". They feel that third country people are taking their jobs and houses, but that is not the case at all. He also called for the Government to introduce a campaign to encourage people to report hate crimes. "We need to (educate) people on how to report racist crime, but there is no direct engagement with communities about this," he added. People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy was among those to take part in the protest. He said it is important to take a stand against racist violence. "What we have seen on our streets over the past number of weeks is Indian people and others targeted with violent attacks because of the colour of their skin and where they are perceived to come from," he said. "We need to push back against those who are pushing the racist lies and propaganda which is creating an environment where these attacks are taking place." Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore said that racism has "crept" into Irish society. "We are at the point now where it is quite normalised for people to be racist in what they say on social media," the Wicklow TD said. "It is important we have events and days like these where we stand and say this is not okay, it is not acceptable for racist attacks. There are racist elements who are allowed to say what they want without any come back. "Our health system would collapse without many migrant communities and having that conversation of the value of migrants and also reflect on Irish people who have been migrants, it's something Irish people are very familiar with."
