Sha?Carri Richardson seems to be on a redemptive streak. As a track and field athlete ruling the sports, her posts and words carry considerable value. Sha’Carri is one of the best 100m and 200m racing individuals at her tournament level. Meaning that she is widely followed on social media. But being quite out and open on social media can have its own downsides.

In 2021, Richardson had to face public rage and disapproval because she liked a particular post. Her team did go into damage control mode quickly but the damage was done.

In 2021, Sha’Carri had liked a post that trolled a fellow racer, Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser. She even changed her Twitter profile photo to both of them together. But, as of September 11th, almost a year after the incident, Richardson changed her profile picture back.

Sha?Carri Richardson finally changes her Twitter picture

Sha’Carri’s social media game is strong. But this backfired after she liked a fan’s tweet in August of 2021 that trolled Jamaican athlete Fraser.

In the 100m race, the Jamaican star had finished at the last position and one of the fans had tweeted how Shelly looked like a popular rapper, Lil Wayne. Richardson liked the tweet, probably forgetting that the internet would be able to find this out. The Twitterati was enraged and fans called her out.
