Nancy Kerrigan is unveiling her thoughts on the new Tonya Harding-inspired film, “I, Tonya”, starring Margot Robbie.
Speaking over the phone with The Boston Globe‘s writer Dan Shaughnessy, the 48-year-old Olympic figure skater, who was famously injured by an assailant hired by the ex-husband of her rival Harding, reveals she has yet to see the film.

“I really have nothing to say about it,” Kerrigan says, when asked if she wished to comment on the film. “I haven’t seen anything. I haven’t watched anything.”
She adds, “I’ve been busy. I was at the National [Figure Skating] Championships this week so I didn’t watch the Golden Globes. I haven’t seen the movie. I’m just busy living my life.”
Addressing Harding’s portrayal as a victim in the film, Kerrigan says, “At this point, it’s so much easier and better to just be… it’s not really part of my life. As you say, I was the victim. Like, that’s my role in this whole thing. That’s it.”
Later clarifying her statements, Kerrigan’s husband and agent, Jerry Soloman, said, “Our position at this point is to say nothing. When we collectively, or Nancy individually, decide what to do, when we are ready to say something, we will.”
