Trailer trash from the beginning, she had a golden opportunity to make a great life for herself but mixed it up with that creepo boyfriend of hers, "Gil-looser-ly", who conspired to bust the knee cap of Nancy Kerrigan pre Olympics (Remember that incident ?)
. . and it's been all downhill since.
Aside - I'm really surprised about this story, The Bear.
It's amazing how people can rise to such a high level of success and then just blow it ! It all has to do with the people that we choose to associate with, IMO.
I never understood the Harding/Kerrigan incident because, at the time, wasn't Harding thought to be the better skating prospect? Kerrigan was/is a wealthy New England blueblood.
My gawd Tonya Harding is a fat loser today....geesh.
I think I remember thinking Nicole Bobek was a real looker. She had a "doe-like" deer, Bambi quality to her. Don't recall if she was any good on the ice?
Tonya might have been fun for a 1 nighter years ago (when she was still kinda cute)... if I was *****. But she was always pretty trashy. And sure, Nancy would complain if you smacked her ass or pulled her hair, but at least I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with her (then or now).
This is a little off topic, but the life of a figure skater seems to suck pretty badly when you look at it. It takes years of hard work, you have to have a strict diet, **** up early, do stuff that's painful if you mess up, it's extremely hard to make it to be the very best and only one person can have that at a time, success is very fleeting, and unless you make it to be one of the very few top people in the end you get hardly anything out of it.
