Karma Gets Tonya!

Twenty-three Years After Tonya Harding’s Involvement in an Infamous Attack on Skating Rival Nancy Kerrigan, Life Couldn’t Be More Different for the Former Ice Queens.

SPORTS brawls are one thing, but this was something else. In 1994, figure skater Tonya Harding went down in infamy after her first husband, Jeff Gillooly, hatched a failed plot to disable her archrival Nancy Kerrigan by clubbing her in the leg. The shocking incident triggered a media frenzy, and now, 23 years later, memories are sure to come flooding back, thanks to an upcoming movie, I, Tonya, about the once-promising Olympian and her fall from grace. And with Nancy back in the public eye on Dancing With the Stars, a new light is being shed on how both women were forever changed by the scandal — in Tonya’s case, much for the worse.

“To say she hasn’t been able to recover is an understatement,” an insider tells Star. “Tonya’s life is a shambles, and she’ll always be seen as a vindictive villain. As for Nancy, she had legions of sympathetic fans after the attack, and now she’s sure to gain a whole new generation of admirers.”
