Hollywood praising Tonya Harding

[Anonymous]

Allison Janney gave an entire disgusting speech rooting for Tanya. Then everyone clapped and Tanya fake cried for herself. Then my tv went off. Gross

No she didn't. She went to the Olympics. The fact that she didn't get the gold was due to someone else beating her, outpeforming her. Nothing else. She actually wasn't a particularly great person either, if you'll recall. (I'm assuming you're old enough to remember her behaviour post-medal). She also had an affair with and then married her manager.

1. How do you know the injury didn't affect her performance?

2. Are you serious? How about someone commits a violent act of injury on you which significantly and publicly affects your career, and X number of years later they make a movie about, named after, and glamorizing one of your attackers?

You effing idiot.

You have no idea, and calling someone an effing idiot hardly makes your response worthy. Were you there? Are you involved in the sport? Have any insight? I thought not.

Have you guys seen the movie? I saw it last week, its really excellent. I enjoyed the perspective. Kerrigan is a whore anyway.

This is soooooo stupid and bacwards. How about one woman was attacked and one woman was raised in a shitty environment and covered up something that she seemed to know about immediately after it happened (I bet not before) and no one needs to be a whore, no one needs to deserve their shitty lot.

Yeah, PP was an effing idiot for being completely oblivious to how this movie and disgusting, hypocritical Hollywood applauding her, all must feel to Kerrigan, *the victim* of a completely unprovoked physical battery. I suspect you're one too, if you're not the same PP.

The movie was great, and I personally don't think Tonya knew the guy was going to physically hurt Nancy Kerrigan. Harding had a crazy life and I find her sympathetic.

I feel for Tonya. She was abused her whole life. I always liked her more than the entitled, whiny kerrigan

The movie is great and manages to be funny. Tonya Harding grew up in an environment where violence was currency.

Harding didn't stand a prayer of winning unless she played dirty. And that is exactly what she did - instead of competing fairly and squarely, she tried to eliminate the competition through thuggery..

I remember when this happened and what a shock it was. But the reality is, Harding was an athletic but graceless skater. She couldn't hold a candle to Kerrigan and she hated her for it.

Not one of you remembers Tonya's lousy start of her routine and then her fake claim that her "laces broke"? Or Tonya's involvement in "America's Dumbest ___"? This is not a person to praise.

I am a bit older & totally remember the whole Tonya Harding vs. Nancy Kerrigan situation.

Tonya DID NOT attack Nancy w/a club to her knee.
It was actually her then-husband Jeff Golooly (he has since changed his entire name) + Tonya’s bodyguard.

She may not have known that they were going to hurt Nancy.
But even if she did know in advance, she never actually committed the crime.
Her husband and bodyguard did.

Yes.....
She knew they did it after the fact, but that is not so bad that she deserved a lifetime ban on ice skating.

Plus even though she stated she would kick Nancy’s butt in the Olympics, she had problems w/her skate laces and thus didn’t even medal.
She had bragged that when she would win the gold medal, she would hang it up on her bedroom wall.

Nancy placed Silver and Oksana B. from Russia ended up bringing home the Gold that year.

It is true what Margot Robbie has said though.
That Tonya didn’t deserve what she got.

Not only was she banned from skating for the rest of her life, she also lost millions upon millions in endorsements because of what had occurred.

Exactly.

Tonya Harding did not physically attack Kerrigan herself. But there is pretty much no doubt in my mind that she put that creep of a husband of her's up to it.

PP if Harding had such money making promise there would have been no need to try to eliminate Kerrigan in the first place. Just think about it - why would her husband feel the need to try and break another skater's leg? Maybe because his wife had zero chance of winning?

Oksana deserved the gold, btw. Her skating was flawless.

She was a horrible person. The Karma gods did not like her.
