She tweeted,“9.87 Say No More”DJ Sky High Baby has also backed him following the allegations of assault made by his ex-girlfriend, Alaysha Johnson. She claimed it was Johnson’s boyfriend who struck her, not Kerley.“Thank you for your honest and unbiased account from eyewitnesses because I was upstairs like you said, and 2 people came up and privately told me she literally got hit by her boyfriend's slow swinging self. SMH. Fred and the bf was the altercation.”Kerley was recently arrested for allegedly punching Johnson during a fight at a hotel in Dania Beach, Florida. The incident happened shortly before he was scheduled to compete in the Grand Slam track, and because of the arrest, he didn’t compete.This incident is one of several legal incidents that Kerley has faced in recent months. In January this year, he was tasered and arrested by police following a confrontation near a crime scene. Last year, he was accused of assaulting his wife, who alleged that he strangled her at their Miami house.'You never know in track and field when the time is right' - Fred Kerley opens up about his next stepNoah Lyles, Kishane Thompson, and Fred Kerley on the podium during the Men's 100m medal ceremony at Paris Games 2024 - Source: GettyFred Kerley is one of the promising track and field athletes in the 100m. Speaking with The Pivot podcast in April 2025, Kerley mentioned his potential retirement plans and what lies ahead (45:14 onwards):"2028, that’s what I feel like will be the ultimate exit plan. I still probably run some world championships after that. But I want to leave the LA Olympics on top, but you never know what the exit plan is in track and field.But you never know, because if you go look at, say, 400, Michael Johnson, he ran the world record older; you know what? You never know. Just stay healthy. Justin Gallon just retired like two years ago. So you never know in track and field when the time is right."Kerley is a two-time Olympian who won a silver medal in the 100m at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics and a bronze medal in the same event at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
