Sha’Carri Richardson’s ex-girlfriend has admitted the allegations of abusing her are true.
Fellow sprinter Janeek Brown, 24, admitted to the abuse during an Instagram Live session.
“I was abusive once that there’s physical evidence of. And we moved on, and even after then I was trying to move on from that, we still got nowhere,” Brown said.
As previously reported on Sis2Sis, Richardson, 22, revealed
on her Instagram story earlier this month that she is still healing from the emotional trauma caused by her most recent abusive and homophobic relationship.
“I was in a relationship with a Jamaican athlete that never cared about me from the jump,” she
wrote, according to The Source. “I was abused and stole from yet protected her from the judgment of her country & family while they dragged me. I had to deal with homophobic and so much more that I’m still healing from.”
After the confession, Richardson started posting memes on her Instagram story that could have had something to do with that previous relationship.
One meme read, “I don’t understand how someone can just walk out of your life and not care about you anymore.”
“A person who doesn’t defend you while someone slanders you is your enemy too,” another one said.
She also posted a meme that read, “We live in a time where people get mad when you don’t let them use you.”
Brown said Richardson was only going public for “clout,” and she encouraged her ex to go to the police if she desired.
Brown says she was “going through something” at the time and trying to find herself.
“So yeah, it’s a transformation; I’m going to find myself now. I may look different now,” she said.
It is unclear if Richardson will press charges against her ex-girlfriend.
