It’s true that Tonya didn’t deserve to be treated the way she was and it’s also true that Nancy didn’t deserve to be attacked. Connie Chung said it best: “Nancy wasn’t all good and Tonya wasn’t all bad”. Dragging details of their personal lives into arguments doesn’t justify what happened to either, professionally.

I feel like people give more positive comments to Tonya now than the 90s because our society has changed. Nancy and her hi-class good girl image fit with 90s society while Tonya with hard working and self-made money/status is more admired in this era. The informations we know still the same but people want to believe in difference things.

If only she never met her first husband and had a better mother then maybe none of this tragedy would have ever happened

Am I the only one getting the feeling that Nancy Kerrigan is just playing the victim?

As an old person who was aroundwhen this went down Tonya was given a raw deal simply because she was "trailer trash" vs Nancy who came from a very waspy family. Figure skating was elitist af and the scandal just exposed it .....

I remember that Olympics, I was actually there when Oksana Baiul won, out of nowhere. Nancy Kerrigan was big favourite to win, all American sweetheart, victim....nobody cared outside of USA and she was really pissed she didn't win. Oksana's free program was out of this world and she won. End of drama.

Is it just me or she looks more like Amy Adams

Nancy Kerrigan suffered BRUISING. All this over literally a few bruises.

Margot Robbie was cast as the lead because she was the one who bought the script and executive produced the thing so obviously she cast herself in a film that was almost sure to get Oscar buzz.

Ok a lot of people are blaming Nancy for overreacting who wouldn’t, she was going into the olympics.

lol conspiracy theory, what if Kerrigan was the one who planned all of this just to get Harding out of competition forever

You guys had the CHANCE to say "They were on thin ice."

I mean the committee didn't treat Tonya fair, they didn't judge her fairly because they wanted the innocent and naive image to represent their country rather than a woman whose been through shit and still survived to be a strong independent woman and isn't afraid to show her battle scars. They didn't judge based on talent they judges based on image and they chose a pretty dumb image.

You missed the fact that Tonya was (prior to incident) a technically more proficient skater being the first American female to ever land a triple axel in competition and still one of only about 19 women in the world to do so (2021). In fact in the film they had to recreate it using special effects because the professionals hired couldn't do one. It involves a forward take off without using the toe pick, three and a half rotations in about one second and landing on the other foot with a force of over 400 pounds. No one will ever take that away from her.

The way I see it, Tonya's punishment was way too harsh. Even if she did know beforehand about what was supposed to happen, I would be scared to tell anyone as well, her husband was ABUSIVE. Tonya said there were multiple occasions where she feared for her life because of him. The fact that her ex-husband and bodyguard got 18 months and she had to go on probation, pay a lot of money, AND couldn't compete anymore is absolutely ridiculous.

For everyone saying that Amy Adams should have played Tonya, I don't really think they are looking for the perfect look alike. They need someone that will really master their role and I think Margot will. I'm not so sure about Amy...

I always felt sorry for Tonya Harding. Nancy Kerrigan came across as such a smug twit. It was obvious she was being favoured more because she was the "good girl" than for her skill.

Margot Robbie looks more like Nancy Kerrigan if she were to dye her hair brunette.

no one: Absolutely no one: Nancy: WHYYYYY WHYYYYY WHYYYYY WAAAAA YYYYYY

I remember watching these events. Tonya was a great skater, a powerhouse. Kerrigan was a great skater, but I didn't feel she had any charisma in her performance. And you could tell she was pissed that she came in 2nd at the Olympics. She didn't even try to hide it. I remember things for Tonya just crumbled, at one point she approached the judges crying and showing them her skating boot . . . something had gone wrong. I think after everything, the strain just got to both women and neither brought their A game. I agree with Animotost, Amy Adams would've been great, had she been the right age, to play Harding. Margot Robbie makes her look insane. Like she's portraying perhaps what Harding looks like on the inside . . .

Tonya was an inspiration, Kerrigan just made a career out of being a victim. Tonya was clearly the more brilliant skater, her heart was in it and she worked incredibly hard, Kerrigan to me just seemed like she did it for the glory. She didn't skate like her heart was in it.

Wow, this lead me to read up on Nancy and geez, she was not the nice person the media led us to believe. She reminds me of the teacher's pet that had the best toys, clothe and family. I don't believe she deserved to be hurt, but now I know why she reacted so much to one wack on the knee.

sebastian stan is in this movie so i'm going to watch it

Amy Adams looks just like her! Too bad she was probably too old to play Tonya

they don’t even have proof she did it, it’s SO FUCKING UNFAIR. yes I think it’s sketchy but there isn’t even any solid information and we DO NOT KNOW the truth, it’s only theories etc.

Omg honestly I feel bad for Nancy but she was not as good as tonya. She was just a better fit for that girly and classy stereotype for skating. It's just annoying that tonya had such a hard life and had to go through many obstacles meanwhile Nancy was way more privileged. Then, one bad thing happens to Nancy; she has a pity party and poof there goes tonyas only love: skating

I can relate to Tonya on a very personally level, I can see her growing up seeing other little girls with there mother having a loving bond and being treated like dirt by hers

The number of private investigators in the comment section, who seem to know Harding personally, is outstanding.

To show you Kerrigan's true side, Oksana Baiul had won the gold. Kerrigan got silver and Chen Lu got the bronze. While Kerrigan and Lu waited over 20 minutes for Olympic officials to find a copy of the Ukrainian national anthem, someone mistakenly told Kerrigan the delay in the presentation was because Baiul had cried off her make-up and was getting it retouched. Kerrigan, with obvious frustration, was caught on-camera saying "Oh, come on. So she's going to get out here and cry again. What's the difference?" That comment showed people that Kerrigan wasn't necessarily a "good girl" either.

i remember when barack obama landed his very first triple axel

I hope Margot Robbie wins an Oscar as Tonya Harding. However, it might not happen because Saosire Ronan (Lady Bird) and Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water) are in her way. At least, she deserves an Oscars nomination.

I cannot wait for the movie!!

tonya risked so much for her career, why do people honestly think she would have anything to do with the attack. shes not stupid, she realises the risks that come with planning such an attack

I feel like Tonya didn’t do it and her hubby and mom wanted to carry out this awful crime. Then again, I don’t know much about this scandal.

The only time when people actually cared to watch the Winter Olympics

Nancy Kerrigan was the reason I quit watching figure skating.

I do kind of get the vibe that Nancy just kind of milked this whole thing for attention, like I'm sure being attacked was scary and scarring for her, but the way she goes about it just seems very high and mighty y'know?

is it just me or should they not have casted amy adams as tonya instead of margot, adams and harding 99% similar faces lol

The main reasons I'm willing to doubt that she had prior knowledge of the planned physical attack are 1) her confidence in her own skating and 2) how hard she had to work coming from her working class roots and how that all could have been (and was) so easily compromised with such a dumb plan. But we'll never really know. This was a terrific movie though, and I find Harding the more interesting personality.

I'm excited to see this movie but I would have loved to see tonya's story adapted in American Crime Story !!

Finishing 8th in the Olympics with all that stress going on is quite remarkable. Ahe must have been really good. (well, you have to be really good to get to go to the Olympics in the first place...)

For me Margot Robbie looks like Nancy better than Tonya

Clearly this video was not done by a figure skater.Here's what you NEED to know: 1. Michelle Kwan was ALWAYS the alternate - as there is ALWAYS an alternate. In 1994 we had 2 spots on the Olympic team, the alternate is always sent over as a precaution.2. Figure skating was the MOST WATCHED sporting event that year.3. Kerrigan STILL LOST the gold medal to Oksana Baiul. Tonya came in 6th I think.....4. The first National Senior appearance for Michelle Kwan - and the beginning of her dynasty.5. Everyone knew Tonya was involved.6. Nancy was a bitch. Still is.

Girl pleaseee, she said she supposedly didn’t know about it yet but later confessed to hearing people talk about the attack before it was done

Poor Tonya Harding. She was the tuff girl who stood up. The Ex Husband is sick.

Gilooly was abusive and was only with Tonya for her money. ALSO harding wasn't the American sweet heart the judges wanted they thought she wasn't dainty enough, her background was disgraceful, and if she brokeup with gilooly it would ruin her image. I'm on Tonya's side :P

I was never a fan of Nancy. If you watch any interview with her she behaves so entitled and snobbish.. i can easily see how a girl who was raised poorly and had to fight 3 times as hard to get where she was could have flipped out in jealousy. #teamtonya

For anyone interested, on Jan 12th, Harding admitted to having prior knowledge of the attack.

She gave me a ride home. From Portland..I was stuck there..she was a lady. ..came in talked to my girl..love you forever for that. She was so small so pretty

Interestingly, Kerrigan had more to gain from Harding being accused of (or at minimum distracted by the accusation of) the attack. Harding was the stronger skater of the two by far (when she was focused). This is not to say that Kerrigan had anything to do with any sort of set-up or diabolical plan, just interesting is all... I have always firmly believed that Harding's dipsh!t ex-hubby did it, thinking he was doing Tonya some twisted favor that would lead to them getting back together...

I knew they were gonna make a film about this. It was only a matter of time

Tonya and Midori Ito were ahead of their time as world-class women athletes in ice skating. Such tragic success. I hope Tonya finally gets her long overdue recognition as one of the world's best ice skaters in history. Check out her face-off skating video vs Scott Hamilton! It puts her outstanding athletic ability in a whole new light.

Found it odd that the camera followed Nancy Kerrigan right after she went behind curtain. A second later the camera goes behind it Nancy is already on the ground with 5 EMTs around her

So I have many different opinions of my own... First off, I want to hear more from Jeff Gooley and his side of it all. I’m sick of hearing everyone defending Harding because of this brand new movie coming out, which alone was tweaked enough by Hollywood. So of course with such a fan base, everyone now sides with Tonya because she’s played by the beloved Margot Robbie. Robbie herself claims that she is not 100% defending Tonya like false sources have said. She says she has to believe in her character in order to portray her correctly. Which she seems to have done a fantastic job if I may add. But of course now people are calling out Kerrigan for being a cry baby, when not many of you probably realize how serious this was. Stop looking at it as “This whole thing is over just some bruising.” It’s much more than that. The intent of the crime was to break her leg. It doesn’t matter what was carried out successfully, a man was paid to take out the competition. That is a fact no matter how you want to look at it. Secondly, this incident can be overlooked and forgotten by most people who hear about it, but for both Nancy and Tonya this will live in until the day they die. Kerrigan could be traumatized for life. While everyone is taking the time to call her a whining brat, maybe you should stop to consider that Kerrigan could suffer from minor Post Traumatic Stress or even nightmares. Everyone needs to take a step back and look at the big picture before you start calling names. And also before you start pointing fingers. Now this being said, I am not 100% on Kerrigan’s side of it all. I think I need to learn more about this through reliable source rather than this new film. But from my perspective, I’m still trying to understand why Jeff would even want or plan out this attack without Tonya egging him on about it or implying something along the lines. It just seems to unlikely for him to possibly think, “Hey let me take out the competition for my newly wed wife without telling her. It’ll be my little anniversary gift.” Really? I mean come on, it just sounds ridiculous unless he really was psychotic. And at the same time I just feel so bad for Tonya. If she really was innocent to this whole mess than it’s sad to think of how her whole career, her dream was taken from her just like that. And if she is guilty, it also seems that her mother is another to blame. Her verbal and physical abuse is probably what drove her mad in the first place. She pushed her so much, she just broke her. So I guess I have many opposing thoughts, obviously, when it comes to this conspiracy. Like I said before, I just think we need more research and facts before we all jump to further conclusions. And at the end of the day, you never know what really happened behind closed doors.

Very cool, thank you

I believe her. I mean even now she doesn’t seem like that kind of a girl. And with all three of those men it seems like they conspired all of this without Harding.

How were the cameras on the scene to film Kerrigan so soon after the incident?

I want a movie in Nancy perspective!

This was the only thing anyone talked about going into that Olympics. I remember it very well. There's a documentary on it on Netflix that is really interesting for those interested.

Logically, for a person who isn’t willing to give in to and change her style to match the main stream ‘ noble’ like style, for someone who has such strong belief in her own ability, for someone who has given all her life for figure skating, she would’ve want to beat her opponent by her own ability, why would she use such an act that is both a disgrace for her love of figure skating and personal ability?

Amy Schumer looks just like Tonya...

All along, we ignore the pink girl caught in the middle who actually won the gold medal that year, Oksana Baiul, who, herself, ended up becoming a controversial person after all this went down.

I love the fact she didn't even get in to top 3

Can’t wait to see the movie!!

I actually believe Tonya and I believe that her husband was the one who planned it all without Tonyas knowledge.

I believe Tonya. I just don't know why. If in the movie they show Margot hitting her knee I will bepissed. But I bet I would still love it

Come on she KNEW about attack! That makes you just as guilty. So, all saying she wasn't (especially the courts) are dead wrong.

4:23 dang, that spin! as if it doesn't avail the laws of Physics

1994: Nancy kerrigan and Tonya Harding 2014:Adelina Slotnikova and Yuna Kim Hmmmmmmm

In later interviews, Tonya Harding did admit that she had prior knowledge to the attack. Also in December of 2016, police released evidence that suggests that Tonya Harding was involved. Police found an envelope (during investigation) with an address of a skating rink that Kerrigan was going to be practicing at that was written in Tonya's handwriting.. That particular attack failed.

One can't simply base his views on an incident based on a movie portraying it.Truth is always more complicated.

there are people who will really pull you down when you are on high, and that's what happen to Queen Tonya....

5:20 how can she even say that jesus you got a silver medal from the olympics how can you not want that?

Ummmm am I the only one that finds it suspicious the blow to the knee was done just right to not actually cause serious damage?

I remember when this happened. I was 12 at the time. It was huge HUGE shit atm.

Can’t wait to see I, Tonya!

I understand she was bitter, but shame on Nancy for letting them take away Tonya's career over a bruise.

i feel like it was so unfair that SHE had to pay for it. she was clearly being abused by both her mother and husband

Omg her screaming why 😂😂😂

Fantastic movie....❤

Nancy didn’t have shit on Tanya with any moves (triple axel)

I honestly believe that her husband (tonya's husband) wanted to distroy her and to do so,he had to hurt her rival in order to make people and police believe she did it ! Just to destroy her image and career.

Wow tonya harding was awesome! That moment when she is using the black pants.... wow 😮😮😮😮😮

I ll always love Tonya

I keep hearing about this, it it the anniversary or something?

funny story- my nonna, a 70 year old italian immigrant, was visiting my family and i was watching the 60 minuets about the tonya case. she laughed and mimicked nancy’s crying/screaming. i kept trying to hold off my own laughter at what my nonna was doing.

After watching this movie many people would just realized how hard and unfortunate her life is instead of cursing and making fun of her

What was portrayed in the film was that Tonya in the beginning knew about the plan to mail death threat letters to Kerrigan, which was planned by Jeff's delusional friend Shawn with Jeff's funding. (Tonya herself was sent a death threat initially before the whole letter plan, which Jeff later on found out Shawn made the false death threat for some insane reason from his plan.) When things got serious with her preparation for the olympics, she detached herself from the planning, caring less about what they were doing so she could focus on practicing. When it came to the actual attacked, it was portrayed that Jeff and Tonya didn't know that Shawn had planned, along with hired hit man Derrick and his nephew Shane (in the clip), to bash Kerrigan's knee. So most likely, she knew something was up in relation to doing "something" to Kerrigan. Whether she really knew about only the letters or knew something about the attack since the accounts of the participants seem to change.The film gave off a vibe that Jeff's friend Shawn was insecure, delusional, and crazy and that he was the mastermind of the whole thing, but put the blame on Jeff and Tonya was caught in the crossfire and paid a great debt for it. Guilty by association.

Nancy didn't deserve to get hurt but should be thankful it wasn't worse than it was. Tonya had a hard life and was judged for it which is sad since she was the best being the first American to hit the triple axle at competion. Jeff gooly was not a very good guy and Tonya would of been better off without him. Nancy knew what she was doing wearin the same outfit she was hurt in to mess with Tonya. There were no winners in this tragic situation except for figure skating which that year got ALOT more attention bc of this travesty

#6: She’s going to appear on Celebrity Big Brother US

Why are they announcing the movie on here like its not a few weeks away? LOL

The iceskating scene always has been a nuthouse. 🤯

I die for watch this movie !!!

It was her ex husband and bodyguard! How did she ended up getting punished the most? No matter what some might say...Tonya harding being someone who effortlessly pulled of multiple Triple axles will always be placed way ahead of Nancy in terms of talent. And if it was me, i would'nt go around accusing someone unless i have proof. its evident from all her interviews that Nancy was deliberately trash talking about Tonya even when she kept saying that she had no prior knowledge of the incident, which seems a bit suspicious...who knows if it wasnt nancy herself who planned the whole thing to get Tonya kicked out of the team? The fact that it was her ex-husband and bodyguard makes it more likely, easily two of the closest yet fairly easy to manipulate sources close to Tonya.

What's the background music being played at the beginning of the video?

Foi uma pena ter sido afastada das pistas de gelo ,pois teria tantos prêmios a receber e tendo sofrido tanto pela mãe e marido ! Tonya 👏👏👏👏🇵🇹

Everyone knows she knew about it. The address of the skating rink where the practice was held was written in Harding's handwriting. She shouldn't be basking in this glory.

I am team Tonya all the way

Does anybody know when this movie gonna come out on theatres???

I'm ready for the I, Nancy movie
