Tonya Harding Reveals What ‘I, Tonya’ Got Wrong

The biopic I, Tonya about the life of figure skater Tonya Harding was released in theaters on Dec. 8, 2017, and has received a ton of Oscar buzz. The film is a dark comedy which details Harding’s early life, her rise to fame, her fall from grace, and how she will forever be tied to the 1994 attack on her Olympic rival, Nancy Kerrigan.

While the movie is getting tons of love and Harding herself called it “magnificent,” there are a few things that it got wrong, according to the former Olympian. There are also a few people who aren’t happy that Harding is back in the limelight. Here’s more on that, as well as the inaccuracies Harding pointed out in the film.
