I hate to say this, but the film "I, Tonya" is one movie that I'm going to put on my "don't see" list, because I feel that Tonya Harding, as a person in real life, is not very smart, plus she is also nasty, arrogant, a consummate liar, plus she never admits when she's in the wrong. It's bad enough that she was involved in the master-minding and planning of an incident that resulted in the potentially crippling physical injury to and forcible removal of a rival competitor (Nancy Kerrigan) from competition, and still continues to deny her involvement in this whole sordid incident, even today. The fact that Tony knowingly obstructed the investigation and prosecution of Jeff Gillooly and his goons caused her to lose her skating career for good, and well it should have. No matter what Tonya's reason for doing this latter thing, even if she made that deal in order to avoid a jail sentence, obstructing the investigation and prosecution of Jeff Gillooly and his goons was still a crime, which she payed for with the loss of a very promising figure skating career.

It's too bad, in a way, because Tonya Harding was an exceptionally talented figure skater, but, if one is going to play the asshole, they're going to pay, sooner or later.

Having gone through some difficulties in my past that I won't disclose here on moviechat.org, a woman with a difficult past and severe health problems such as Tonya Harding's would ordinarily earn my respect and admiration. Given the fact that Tonya was involved in an incident that resulted in physical injury to a rival competitor, and the fact that she knowingly obstructed the investigation and prosecution of Jeff Gillooly (her ex-husband), however, I felt, and still feel that I cannot muster any sympathy and support for her, in good conscience.

I'll also add, however, that the fact that Tonya also made a totally unprovoked attack on her (now-ex) boyfriend with a hubcap, seriously injuring him, and therefore bringing a police warrant down on her own head also contributed to the permanent loss of her promising skating career.

I would be willing to see it, except they don't follow the true story, like Argo. I really don't see the point of turning reality into fiction.
