In wake of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, former Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding finally spoke up about the scandal that still haunts her everyday life.

In late 1993, Harding, with her mind set on the Olympic podium, became entrenched in controversy after her rival, Nancy Kerrigan, was brutally beaten with a tire rod before taking the ice. Following the 1994 Olympic Games, Harding pleaded guilty to hindering the prosecution, despite denying having any prior knowledge of the attack. She was thus banned from U.S. Figure Skating Association for life.

Years after the perpetual damage of her reputation, the 2017 biopic “I, Tonya” and subsequent ABC News special “Truth and Lies: The Tonya Harding Story” sought to allow Harding the opportunity to give her full story. “I, Tonya,” the sympathetic look into Harding’s early life, has since received national acclaim, garnering three Golden Globe nominations. Allison Janney won “Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture” for her performance as LaVona Golden, Harding’s mother. The film portrays Golden as an abusive figure, as she is frequently seen beating her daughter.

“She came up to me … and said, ‘Wow, you were my mother. You played her perfectly,’” Janney told ABC News. “I just almost wanted to cry because I felt so bad.”

However, Golden insists that the film’s representation of her was a striking misrepresentation.

“She’s lied so much she doesn’t know what isn’t a lie anymore… I didn’t abuse any of my children. Spanked? Yes, spanked. Absolutely positively, you got to show them right from wrong,” Golden told ABC’s Amy Robach during the special.

At the end of this special, Harding seemingly contradicted all previous statements about her lack of prior knowledge on Kerrigan’s attack. For years, Harding has denied her awareness of her ex-husband’s conspiracy to injure Kerrigan at the 1993 National Championship. However, her new statements reveal otherwise, sparking immense criticism on the disgraced skater’s credibility.

“I did, however, overhear them talking about stuff, where, ‘Well, maybe we should take somebody out so we can make sure she gets on the team.’ And I remember telling them, I go, ‘What the hell are you talking about? I can skate,’” Harding said.

Others have also condemned the media for showing bias towards Harding and leaving Kerrigan out of the dialogue. Kerrigan made a few brief appearances in the ABC special, but all the attention has been focused on Harding’s tumultuous life, not her tragic injury. Harding, who has only formally apologized to Kerrigan once publicly, still refuses to show her sympathy.

“Enough apologizing,” Harding said. “She has her life. I have my life. We both have wonderful lives. That should be all that matters.”
