Shawn Rhoden

Personal life and death In 2015, Shawn Rhoden and then partner Michelle Richardson had a daughter. However, due to personal issues and allegations of infidelity, Michelle and Shawn separated in 2018. Rhoden died from a heart attack on November 6, 2021 at 46 years old.

Legal trouble Rhoden was accused of sexually assaulting a female while he was visiting Salt Lake City, Utah, in October 2018, shortly after his Mr.Olympia win. In July 2019, he was formally charged in the state of Utah with rape, object rape, and sexual abuse. It was alleged that Rhoden invited a married woman whom he had been mentoring to his hotel room in Salt Lake, where the reported actions took place. The American Media LLC company, which is the organizing body for the Mr.Olympia contest, released a statement in July 2019 that Rhoden was banned from competing at the 2019 Mr.Olympia contest, as well as future competitions. A statement that same month from the governing body of the sport of bodybuilding and fitness, the IFBB Pro (through representative Jim Manion), stated that the IFBB Pro League had thus far not taken any action regarding Rhoden, but would continue to monitor the situation.
