Tonya Harding's story highlights the struggles of being an underdog in a highly elitist sport like figure skating, where social status can overshadow talent. The media portrayal of Harding changed public perception, making her the undisputed villain of the narrative.

But there's always two sides to every story. Or three. And there may be truth, or there may just be someone's truth.

I, Tonya sheds light on the cycle of abuse and the complexities of Tonya’s relationships with her mother and ex-husband. The infamous "incident" with Nancy Kerrigan transformed figure skating, bringing unprecedented attention and scrutiny to the sport.

While Tonya Harding made mistakes, and was severely punished for them, her journey reflects the harsh realities faced by many women in sports and society at large.

In the end, it's all about understanding the human behind the headlines and recognizing that everyone has their own truth, even if it's messy.

I would love to hear your thoughts on I, Tonya !
