Track star Sha’Carri Richardson has given up her LGBTQ+ lifestyle for good. Sha’Carri and her boyfriend, Christian Coleman, are seen together in new photos at the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday.

Christian shared a selfie of the couple in a hotel bathroom, and Sha’Carri posted new photos on her Instagram page.

“Even from the down under, still going up,” Sha’Carri captioned the post.

Sha’Carri rocked a multi-colored dress with a Louis Vuitton bag while Christian wore a button-down shirt and a pair of olive green pants.

Fans were stunned to see Sha’Carri in a loving relationship with a man after the 24-year-old sprinter endured an abusive relationship with a woman 3 years ago.

One fan wrote: “Love to see black love and black excellence.”

Another commenter posted: “Ugh. I just love this so much for her. I hope they last.”

A third person wrote: “I’m just happy she ain’t gay cause I would’ve been jealous.”

In 2022, Sha’Carri wrote about her emotional pain after leaving an abusive lesbian relationship.

“I was in a relationship with a Jamaican athlete that never cared about me from jump,” she wrote.

“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 [sic] and so much more that I’m still healing from.”

In a 2022 interview, her ex-girlfriend, Jamaican track star Janeek Brown, admitted abusing her.

“I was abusive once that there’s physical evidence of,” Janeek said. “And we moved on, and even after then I was trying to move on from that, we still got nowhere.”

She continued: “Yeah, I was going through something – I was finding myself, that’s why I am coming to social media, you feel me? So yeah, it’s a transformation; I’m going to find myself now. I may look different now.”

Sha’Carri and Christian (left) were first spotted together at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest in 2023. An excited Christian tackled Sha’Carri after she won the Women’s 4x100m Relay Final.

At the time, no one knew they were dating.

The video, obtained by DailyMail.com, shows Manzano and Colbert returning to his hotel room around 4:35 am. Manzano was carrying a white plastic bag. Colbert glanced up at the surveillance camera before they entered his room.

Kenner police said Colbert left the room twice to go to the reception desk in the hotel lobby. She asked for a room key card before returning to the room.

Colbert, 48, left the room for a final time just before 6 am.

Manzano was in New Orleans to cover Super Bowl 59. His Telemundo colleagues called police to conduct a welfare check when he didn’t show up for work on Feb. 6.

Officers found Manzano deceased in his hotel room.

Police contacted his bank to track his credit cards and discovered Colbert using the credit cards at several retail stores. She was arrested on Feb. 7.

Colbert had a lengthy history of drugging and robbing tourists. None of her previous victims died from the drugging.

At the time of her arrest, she was on probation for a 2021 drugging and robbery case in New Orleans.

She pleaded guilty to drugging David Butler and stealing around $134,000 from him, according to The New Orleans Advocate.

Butler, 52, said he asked for prison time for Colbert. But she was released back on the streets with just probation.

“This tragic outcome likely could have been prevented had Colbert been sentenced appropriately in my case, especially given her extensive criminal history,” Butler said.

Investigators are awaiting toxicology test results to determine Manzano’s cause of death. Colbert is charged with credit card fraud and trespassing. She is being held in jail without bond.

NFL Officials Regret Super Bowl Halftime Show: ‘A Mistake Was Made’

The National Football League (NFL) will decide future halftime performers after Kendrick Lamar‘s halftime show was dubbed “the worst halftime show ever.”

The NFL apologized to rap icon Lil Wayne after Jay-Z chose California rapper Kendrick Lamar as the halftime performer.

According to The US Sun, insiders say league officials “regret” their mistake after earlier issuing an apology to Lil Wayne, 42, for snubbing him in his hometown of New Orleans.

One NFL staffer told The U.S. Sun that the league wished they went with Lil Wayne as the halftime performer after fans were underwhelmed with Kendrick’s show.

“A mistake was made and we regret the choice that was made,” an NFL employee told The U.S. Sun.

“Lil Wayne should have been the first option, as he is from New Orleans and we know that there was a clear motivation for him and his side to do a unique show in his town.”

The staffer said league officials will choose the halftime performers from now on.

It isn’t clear what that decision means for rap mogul Jay-Z, who has chosen the halftime performers since 2019 when Roc Nation partnered with the NFL.

The NFL halftime show has a reputation for showcasing the best of the best. The halftime show is not the place for gang-affiliated rappers to publicly air their vendettas against fellow rappers.

One glaring problem for the NFL’s PR team was the halftime show’s emphasis on gang culture.

Kendrick is a known member of the Crips, a violent street gang based in Compton, California. He honored the gang by wearing a blue jacket – and he reportedly asked tennis star Serena Williams to perform the Crip Walk during his halftime set.

The Crip Walk is footwork affiliated with the Crips gang.

Serena later confirmed that Kendrick’s people reached out and asked her to do the gang-affiliated footwork during his set.

She also wore the Crips blue gang color.

Super Bowl fans were shocked to learn that Serena’s older sister Yetunda Price was killed in a drive-by shooting by two members of the Southside Crips.

The fact that Kendrick and Serena both wore Crips blue colors to honor a violent street gang didn’t sit right with league officials.

The halftime show’s gang symbolism also fueled the widely held belief that Black people are violent by nature.

In more positive news, Kendrick’s halftime show was the most-watched in NFL history.

Ye West, formerly Kanye West, returned to X (Twitter) days after he was banned for going on a pro-Nazi rant.

Ye’s profile was deactivated after he sparked outrage with offensive tweets against Jewish people. However, on Thursday, his profile suddenly reactivated with a “sensitive content” warning.

The message reads: “Caution: This profile may include potentially sensitive content. You’re seeing this warning because they post potentially sensitive images or language. Do you still want to view it?”

Sources say Ye was allowed back on X as long as he deleted his offensive tweets.

Shopify banned Ye’s website, Yeezy.com, from selling t-shirts with swastikas on the front.

On Tuesday, his store was unreachable on Shopify.com. Messages on the site read: “Something went wrong” and “This store is unavailable.”

Hillary Duff’s husband, singer/songwriter Matthew Koma, responded to Ye’s antisemitism by selling “F*** Ye” t-shirts on his Instagram page. Proceeds from the sale will go to a charity to support Holocaust survivors.

Sean Combs Files $100M Defamation Lawsuit Against NBCUniversal

Jailed rap mogul Sean Combs filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal, Peacock TV and Ample Entertainment.

Combs, who has spent over $1 million on his legal defense, fired off a lawsuit after Peacock TV aired the documentary “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.”

Combs has been jailed in Brooklyn, NY on RICO human trafficking and conspiracy charges since his arrest in September.

The lawsuit accuses the media corporations of “falsely, recklessly, and maliciously” defaming Combs in statements made in the documentary.

The documentary aired on Jan. 14, and it insinuated Combs’ alleged involvement in the deaths of his former girlfriend, Kim Porter, Notorious B.I.G., Andre Harrell, Heavy D, and the attempted murder of Al B. Sure.

Combs is accused of being a serial murderer and sex trafficker, among other claims made by Al B. Sure, Rodney Jones (who has filed his own lawsuit against Combs) and attorney Ariel Mitchell.

Erica Wolff, Combs’ attorney, said the media companies “made a conscious decision to line their own pockets at the expense of truth, decency, and basic standards of professional journalism.”

Wolff said the documentary “grossly exploited” the trust of the viewing audience.

“Defendants seek only to capitalize on the public’s appetite for scandal without any regard for the truth and at the expense of Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial,” Wolff said. “Mr. Combs brings this lawsuit to hold Defendants accountable for the extraordinary damage their reckless statements have caused.”

Combs is seeking $100 million in damages for the “severe reputational and economic harm” caused by what he claims are false and defamatory statements.

Billionaire Elon Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating lawmakers in Congress who became multi-millionaires on government salaries.

In a post on X (Twitter) on Wednesday, the Tesla CEO wrote: “It’s not like these politicians started companies or were NBA All-Stars, so where did they get all the money? Does anyone know?”

Elon Musk comment

An X user listed elected officials in DC who are worth tens of millions of dollars while being paid low 6-figure salaries.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earns $223,000 a year, yet she’s worth $202 million. Sen. Chuck Schumer earns $210,000 a year, yet his net worth is $75 million.

House Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was working as a bartender in New York City the night she was elected to Congress. Now she’s reportedly worth $26 million.

We don’t know what all they have on us

According to a Rassmussen pollster, there are more Google searches for “criminal defense lawyer” in Washington, DC than anywhere else in the country.

House Rep. Maxine Waters, herself a multi-millionaire, is among those panicking in DC. “We don’t know what all they have on us,” she said recently.

In a joint press conference with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Musk said it is odd that there are lawmakers who “somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars” on government salaries.

He added, “We’re just curious where [the money] came from… The reality is they’re getting wealthy at the taxpayer’s expense.”

Four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees were fired for sending $59 million to NYC hotels to house illegal immigrants.

The $59 million payment was discovered by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during an audit of FEMA.

On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that the entire $59 million was recovered from NYC hotels.

Noem previously said she supports getting “rid of FEMA” as part of President Donald Trump‘s campaign promise to stop wasteful government spending.

Musk tweeted about the payments to NYC hotels on Monday.

“That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals,” Musk wrote. He promised DOGE would be making “a clawback demand … to recoup those funds” from the hotels in NYC.

Musk said $19 million of the $59 million went for direct hotel costs, while the rest went to pay for catering and security for the migrants.

Cameron Hamilton, FEMA’s acting administrator under President Trump, said that FEMA has suspended all payments to New York City to house migrants, effective Monday, Feb. 10.

Actress Mandy Moore and her in-laws are among the Los Angeles residents impacted by the deadly wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes recently.

Mandy took to Instagram and complained after an Amazon driver callously left a package in front of a charred house that belonged to her in-laws.

On Tuesday, the actress posted a photo that shows a brown box with the familiar Amazon label on it.

In the caption, she wrote “Do better, Amazon. Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists? This is my mother and father in law’s home. Smh.”

The post went viral racking up hundreds of comments – most aimed at Amazon for not better vetting their drivers.

An embarrassed Amazon rep quickly responded to the actress via DM on Instagram.

Company spokesperson Steve Kelly then issued a statement: “We’ve reached out to Ms. Moore via Instagram to apologize for this and to ask for more information from her in-laws so we’re better able investigate what happened here.”

He added, “For weeks, we’ve advised those who are delivering on our behalf in southern California to use discretion in areas that were impacted by wildfires – especially if it involves delivering to a damaged home – that clearly didn’t happen here.”

Mandy’s Altadena home was also damaged, according to TMZ. Mandy shares the home with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, and three young children. The house is currently uninhabitable after they lost the garage, back house and TG’s studio.
