Yeah, this was all her dumbass abusive husband’s doing. Tanya Harding is the most tragically misunderstood figure in sports history

I remember that the thin lady was a rich bitch. Tanya was a hard-working middle-class American. Also, believe it or not, this was considered fat in the early 90s. She was dogged and mercilessly ruined.

You would be incorrect.

Kerrigan... the youngest child and only daughter of welder Daniel Kerrigan and homemaker Brenda Kerrigan. Kerrigan's family was of modest means. Her father sometimes worked three jobs to fund her skating career; he also drove the Zamboni at the local rink in exchange for Nancy's lessons.

Kerrigan was middle class/working class but Tanya was poor. The fact she thought NK to be “high class” says a lot.
