Sha’Carri Richardson Calls BF Christian Coleman ‘Coward’ …
The full video of Sha’Carri Richardson’s arrest after she allegedly assaulted her boyfriend, Christian Coleman, shows that she repeatedly called him a coward and pleaded with officers not to arrest her.
In the full video of the incident, as shared by TMZ and seen below, she called him “a coward” and said that she didn’t want anything to do with him “from this point going forward.” She told officers that she didn’t put her hands on her boyfriend, and they had “an argument.” She said that the responding cops could ask Coleman whatever they needed to, then turned to him and said, “But yeah, you’re a coward.”
When one of the police officers spoke to Coleman, he told them that the incident did not turn physical.
At another point during the tense encounter, which happened on July 27 at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, she told her boyfriend, “You’re a fucking coward, I’ll never fuck with you again.” When she was being arrested for assault, she asked if Coleman was “serious,” and the officers told her that he had no input on the situation. She said that she wouldn’t resist arrest, and repeatedly told them that she didn’t do anything wrong. As she was being put into the back of the police vehicle, she pleaded with officers to listen to her.
Richardson spent almost a full day behind bars on a charge of fourth-degree domestic violence assault. She didn’t immediately address the incident, but later shared a post on her Instagram Stories where she said that she would be holding herself “accountable”
“More than anything, definitely a lot of self-reflection, a lot of understanding of not only putting myself in a compromising situation with somebody that I have a deep care and appreciation for as well, is something that—holding myself accountable,” she said. “I see myself. 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 in my spirit, and not allowing this moment, but accepting this moment to be more.”
In a follow-up post, she apologized to her boyfriend. “I love him and to him I can’t apologize enough,” she wrote. “My apologize should be just as loud as my actions honestly louder. To Christian I love you and I am so sorry.”
Surveillance video appeared to show Richardson shoving and pushing her boyfriend before the arrest. Coleman has since come out and defended his girlfriend.
“I don’t feel like she should have been arrested,” he said. “I mean people have discussions and emotions and stuff like that. She has things that she needs to work on for herself, of course. So do I, so do you, so does everybody. But I’m the type of guy who’s in the business of extending grace, and mercy and love.
