I need to watch too. We were taking about her interview today at work. We chuckled at her mom saying they called Tonya trailer trash but they had a brand new trailer. She just did not fit the mold of an Olympic figure skater.

To me she came across as trashy and entitled I also died when I saw the dress she wore to the movie premier had orange camo accents and her H coordinates

Is this about the two hour Thursday night interview on NBC (or some network)?
I stumbled on it and watched almost all of it. I thought it was really good.
I also think that Tonya lies so much that she has no clue what the truth is. She lives in a skewed alternate universe.

Eff Tonya Harding. I was still skating competitively when this happened and it was all anyone could talk about.

I watched her whole special on ABC and I wanted to try and empathize with her, but I just couldn’t.
I believe her when she said her mother and first husband were abusive towards her. None of that excuses what she did. She had top mentors that believed and invested in her and she threw it all away. I think she’s had a lot of therapy based on the way she said a few things in the interview, but I also think she’s in denial and lives in her own version of the “truth”.

I am still laughing that she moved to Washington because "Oregon is buttheads."
My SO is from central Oregon and I guess a couple months after the incident, he was at this place in Bend where she kicked everyone off some ice rink so she could skate alone. He said people were yelling and throwing balled up paper at her while she skated and flipped the bird at them.

So is I, Tonya in theaters or ?
I watched the Truth and Lies Special. Tonya seems like she's still harboring a lot if anger towards a lot of people.

I also think that Tonya lies so much that she has no clue what the truth is. She lives in a skewed alternate universe. How about all the Tonya specials. There are a ton of interviews going on right now. This started about "Truth and Lies, the Tonya Harding Story" but it covers all the Tonya talk.

I am dying laughing at this special. "She grew up on the wrong side of the tracks". Literally the city is divided by a river and the tracks run on one side. Half of the city lives on the wrong side.

How can she be mad about her portrait? People did not go and take a lot of pics back then. Even a JC Penny portrait was more than most people could afford. Even the wealthy families I knew had one school portrait and maybe a mall studio portrait per year.

"This is her way out." No one who wrote this special ever went to OR in the '80's or '90's. There were several colleges and quite a bit of industry she could have used to get out back then with a HS diploma. They make it seem like her options are drug slinging or gangs.

Personally I took that to mean she didn't have the academics to get into college, but I suppose that would have been hard to determine if she was so focused on skating and dropped out at 16

Her personality got so much worse. It took me 2 days to watch this because I kept getting mad at her personality and said the same thing over and over. Fuck Tonya.
