Sha'Carri Richardson forcefully shoved her boyfriend multiple times during a dispute at an airport last month before appearing to throw something at him, new video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows.
I knew this would inevitably come out. Other than the restrooms, there is probably no location where you are not on surveillance camera. The airport is the last place to commit and sort of crime.
Coleman handled the situation perfectly. He tried to walk away multiple times. He didn't escalate. And when that didn't work, he walked over to security to let professionals handle the problem. A good man who didn't deserve this distraction before some of the most important races of his life.
Here's my question. Why don't pro teams issue statements in situations like this? When it came out that Tia Jones ripped chunks of hair out of Xavier Worthy's head, silence from Tonya Buford Bailey. Now that this is all over TMZ, you think Dennis Mitchell is going to say anything? Anything? Not even a quick little "we don't condone that sort of behavior" comment?
If you're wondering why it matters or who cares, anytime somebody assaults somebody in airport but somehow shows right back up at the track on Saturday, decency in society is eroded away just a little bit more, until it reaches a point that it becomes normalized. At some point, some people aren't worth enabling, even if they're fast af.
The NFL and NBA would have suspended someone immediately for that.

Coleman is not the sharpest tool in the shed but he acted with restraint when a lot of dudes would have lost control.
They should probably break up.
I have no doubt he would have immediately lost every sponsor and been vilified as an abuser by the entire media complex had he retaliated in the slightest. It’s nearly a certainty we would have received a half-sided news story stating Coleman had slapped or shoved Richardson. It takes a great deal of self control and composure to keep your emotions in check during such an emotionally charged situation, especially for someone of his status with so much to lose.
