Tonya Harding Gets Annoyed When Asked About Nancy Kerrigan During Live Interview

Disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding threatened to walk out of an interview with British TV presenter Piers Morgan after he pressed her on the 1994 attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan. "I appreciate being on your show, but I think I'm going to have to say, 'Have a good night,''' Harding, 47, said Tuesday in a satellite hookup between her hometown of Portland, Ore., and the London studios of ‘Good Morning Britain.’ Harding's appearance was intended to promote the new biopic, ‘I, Tonya.’ #InsideEdition

[@silvernephy]

I can understand her frustration. She can't go anywhere or do anything without people bringing up the Nancy Kerrigan scandal. My personal feeling is that she had nothing to do with what her crappy ex-husband did. Tonya was a far better skater than Nancy, she had no reason to sabotage her. The irony of Tonya's ex husband doing what he did is that if he HADN'T, Tonya would have EASILY won. Instead of insuring Tonya's future, he destroyed it.

[@rbsandstrom]

1. "she can't go anywhere or do anything without people bringing up the Nancy Kerrigan scandal" Tonya Harding created the Nancy Kerrigan scandal, and she is now voluntarily promoting a movie about her involvement in the Nancy Kerrigan scandal. Tonya brought it up. 2. "my personal feeling is that she had nothing to do with what her crappy ex-husband did" despite your personal feeling, well documented facts posit that Tonya had pretty much everything to do with the assault on Nancy Kerrigan. 3. "Tonya was a far better skater than Nancy, she had no reason to sabotage her" In the 1994 olympics, following the attack, Nancy Kerrigan won the silver medal (despite being assaulted and injured). Tonya placed eighth. 4. "The irony of Tonya's ex husband doing what he did is that if he HADN'T, Tonya would have EASILY won" Again, both women were still able to compete in the olympics following the incident, where Nancy Kerrigan won the silver medal, and Tonya placed eighth. My advice--don't let feelings get in the way of facts. Hollywood's version of events do not coincide with reality. Don't just take my word for it. Do your research.

[@silvernephy]

I'm not good at detecting sarcasm, but I hope that was it.

[@silvernephy]

Obviously PARTLY about the incident, but I'm not saying that the movie didn't pertain to it at all. I'm just saying she's tired of being accused at every turn. Maybe she orchestrated the attack. Maybe she didn't. But that was YEARS ago, it was handled, and I think she just wants to be done with that part of her life. It would be like if someone committed a crime (not a terrible one), served time or "paid their debt to society" and then constantly had to deal with it it being thrown in their face YEARS after the fact. There's no concrete evidence that she was or wasn't responsible. To this day, its all speculation. We'll probably never definitively know. I haven't actually seen the movie yet, but based on trailers, it almost looks comedic.

[@starace4031]

Rachel Bearry-Sandstrom I would love to see your evidence about how she had apparently been involved in the attack, beyond any reasonable doubt.

[@tongyeong]

Rachel Bearry-Sandstrom well, I certainly won't take your biased word for it. things aren't so black and white. the movie clearly states it's based on transcripts from Tonya and her EX with some fiction.

Furthermore, this doesn't matter anymore, it was 25 years ago and the outcome was Tonya getting charged with the crime she was involved in. There's nothing left to debate about it. If Tonya is still bitter all these years later that's her own problem. Nancys Olympic performance was flawless as in she didn't fall or make any mistakes, it just wasn't very graceful like she usually skates so Oksana put on the better show that year. If Nancy had been able to perform at full peak efficiency she would have won gold. Nancy knows she deserved that gold medal but didn't make a big deal about it cuz that's what someone with class does unlike Tonya Harding.

So the injury did NOT hinder her performance at the Olympics, according to her, and if anything, it actually helped, as she said she had worked even harder because of it.

[@starace4031]

Whiplashd I agree to a certain degree that truth is important but she deserves some respect as a human being. The attack happened in the early-mid 1990's, her career has been ruined by the media, and she has openly spoken about it at the relevant times. Piers was there to ask questions in order to speak pleasantly with Tonya to aid her in promoting the film, not for him to take on the role of a private investigator and pressure her for an answer unrelated to the majority of the movie. It was unprofessional in terms of the hidden agenda of it, which was to hurt her, and the tone in which it was said. Tonya was polite in her response which Piers frankly didn't deserve. Also I would like to see any evidence that she is going to make a decent amount of money for the film as I do not know.

[@spookyhouses]

Exactly

[@mafaldarose4863]

Nancy Kerrigan strikes me as someone who makes a big deal about everything. She acted like they shot her in the leg. Yes, she got attacked and that was unfortunate. But seeing Nancy’s face after winning silver, she seems very ungrateful and stuck up.

[@lambydelrey]

exactly! i would literally jump for joy for even placing in an olympic podium especially with the knee incident, its a miracle she could even skate... yet she bullied and gave oksana the death stare. what a lousy sport... :(

[@longmemory1620]

says Piers who knew phones were being hacked

[@Peachypakiri627]

I think it's an undisputed fact that she knew and had a hand in having Kerrigan attacked but this was years ago. The movie, the interviews and the drama being stirred up is so pointless now. Like beating a dead horse. Kerrigan loves the spotlight and so does Tonya.

[@coreymichael1880]

4 years later and this comment is still as stupid as it was then.

[@SurrealisticSlumbers]

No, she wasn't aware.

[@thewanderingamerican5412]

She isn't disgraced. Tonya Harding is a strong person who came through what few people could have endured. Kerrigan was wealthy, went back to her dysfunctional family and married her creepy manager that she was sleeping with during the Olympics. I think we need to get over the childish hatred of Tonya and the crazy over-sympathetic view of Kerrigan who ended up bringing home a silver medal. Geez the childish hatred of Harding has become a symptom of a really, really sick society.

[@trinigrl09]

What the hell does Nancy Kerrigan's wealth have to do with anything at all……She didn't deserve to be kneecapped because her family is wealthy…..and Tonya harding isn't innocent because she grew up poor…..As far as dysfunctional families go, THEY BOTH CAME FROM DYSFUNCTIONAL SITUATIONS……Why fault Nancy for her family situation but call Tonya "strong"? Your comment is beyond unfair…..By the way, the "creepy manager" as you callously refer to him, has stood by his wife of 22 YEARS AND HELPED HER THROUGH SIX MISCARRIAGES AMONG OTHER THINGS…….I THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE AND STOP QUALIFYING TONYA FOR SAINTHOOD AND HAVING AN OVERLY SYMPATHETIC VIEW OF HER…….WHILE VILIFYING NANCY THE VICTIM IN THE ATTACK, SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE COMES FROM A WEALTHY FAMILY…..NANCY HAS NOT ATTACKED TONYA AT ALL SO WHY ATTACK HER OR HER FAMILY?

[@asgardianof_thegalaxy9509]

Your wrong tonya is a girl who has no heart and she not a vitamin she knew it was gonna happen to nancy but she didn’t stop it and she barely apologized

[@borabora1309]

Exactly. She has the right to state her opinion throughout the movie. If Nancy wanted to make a movie about her story, then why not? Make one!

[@menbuiltinventedeverything591]

Synagogue of Satan will burn in hell.

[@borabora1309]

mako3197 why don't you make a movie called I, Nancy then?

[@derekvinyard3670]

He is such a British jerk. Like he is going to get her to slip up and accidently admit a secret she has been carrying around 24 years so he can win a Pulitzer or something. Furthermore, the movie is called I, Tonya. Not , "what happened in "94" or "I, Nancy". To a degree , Tonya is a victim, a victim of her environment. I am sure she knew about it but would be a fool to admit it at this point.

[@darcielily5855]

OH SHUT UP PIERS!

[@caez6895]

I watch it when I was getting ready

[@Veronica-bc6pp]

She didn’t get kicked off she walked out

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

I like Tonya. She paid for what happened, whether she knew or didn't know. There have been murderers released from prison who have been able to come out and start their life over. Tonya never had that chance. Let her move on. Nancy was a poor sport who thought she was entitled to win.

[@miraclekikirox]

It was bruised, and she made a quick and complete recovery. I'd hardly call that 'smashed'

[@kevinsimpson3374]

At least he deserves it! You can’t even do a proper Yorkshire accent! Why don’t you just leave good morning Britain and leave us all in peace!

[@SpikeSPS]

What I see is somebody who's responding to some nonsense with a well thought out reaction . It's a reaction- or response - that she was most likely prepared for by doing a great deal of work on herself- maybe with therapy or maybe with a great deal of self reflection. I see somebody who was mostly likely taught to compromise herself and who has learned not to do that anymore. I see somebody authentic- who, at a pretty advanced, age completely kicked ass and did some insane moves and stunts on "Dancing With The Stars." I see somebody who is likable and warm.

[@ifeinsteingoesawayigoaway7497]

1:07 Is that Kool-aid?

[@Readytogogo]

Reacted perfectly to the petty attack by Piers.

[@user-jp4tl9zd8n]

Pierce Morgan is a trouble 😵‍💫 makers of skaters who get blamed for the attack of Nancy and myself who is disabled child when I was club in knee and shoved outside of the Ice arena in Roseville, Minnesota in the early 1971.i have a scar on my side of the left side of my hand.

[@mariyaa111]

Who is Pierce to tell her she did know ?

[@bristol9204]

Awful. He was provoking Tonya. Obviously, she’s worn out of this question. Everyone have been asking her since that day. Haha, yeah, hi from 2023

[@loveislife-sd3fm]

I can't believe they made a movie about her! I remember following this mess as it unfolded. She knew exactly what was going on and Nancy Kerrigan is most definitely the victim. Good for you Piers.

[@jrh6707]

You should see the movie. You clearly don't know what happened.

[@gloriaksantos4385]

JR H : WHY YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING , IN THE MOVIE IT'S SCRIPTED JUST LIKE THE MAGAZINES THEY MADE COMPUTER ENHANCEMENTS AND NEWSPAPERS TOO .

[@loveislife-sd3fm]

Like I said, I remember the actual events very well. It was major news for months and months.

[@rexcruciatus2036]

+JWillGo You're correct. I remember what happened too. JR H must be too young to remember or forgot what actually happened and that Tonya is the epitome of trash. Nancy Kerrigan is pure class though. Here's an article I ran across as a refresher of facts: www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/brennan/2017/12/20/tonya-harding-movie-wants-your-sympathy-but-lets-not-forget-facts/971183001/

[@tragic_k_townn7115]

JWillGo she had nothing to do with it your a hate filled moron please shut ur dumb mouth thank you

[@judytripp2914]

She probably didn't know, no one will likely ever really ever know ...

[@carterwilson4605]

Morgan could have taken a much better approach to this interview.

[@bethmissbenett]

Good for her! Reporter is disgusting

[@Fierra2000]

Piers Morgan is a menace

[@krissy7342]

I’m not a Tonya fan but...I have a greater sense of respect ✊🏼 toward her for ending this interview vs trying to duke it out verbally.

[@catblue7065]

Saw the movie yesterday and it was great! Tonya has been punished enough. Let her story be heard.

[@imarielmermaid]

he knew how she got abused n acted just like another one. disgusting

[@jiminshii628]

Well, he did walked out from his show as well when pressed about Megan.

[@braedenmckean375]

Anyone who has been through an OUNCE of what shes been through knows that Tonya was the victim here.

[@katefevre6222]

well done for standing up for herself!

[@angelahagerman5693]

I think Tanya handled herself wonderful...Nancy wanted all of that attention she got...she doens't have a personality for television..But Tanya does..

[@kevinhunt1202]

i love how they dont bring up her porno lol...

[@yorface8402]

? Why does she think she was there? It's a movie about what happened..... She accepted, so she should ANSWER THE QUESTION

[@starace4031]

YOR FACE I believe the movie was more about Tonya's life through the ages of 15-44. It does share various perspectives in the movie on events that take place throughout her life but no, it does not focus on the 'incident'. If you want to hear her talk about the incident then you can feel free to look up videos of her doing so (you know, relevant to the time when it actually took place). This, however was to promote the movie 'I, Tonya.' and thus for Piers Morgan to bring up something from the past in order to generate a response from her was insensitive and unprofessional. She did not sign up to answer these questions and I would like to see any evidence of her doing so if you have any.

[@Googaify]

this wasn't a question you idiot. it was very poor journalism. you don't invite a guest, accuse, provoke and attack them in that tone and manner. a good journalist who can do the job well would simply ask in a regular tone "Did you know what was going to happen"? without suggesting and forming opinions even before she had a chance to answer

[@tonowari]

"Social media lit up with negative reactions!" *shows only one tweet as an example*

[@tonytremonti9296]

I don't believe she orchestrated the attack. Her stupid "team" did because they probably they would see a good chunk of change from the potential endorsements had Tonya won the gold.
