EP 50: Tonya Harding (Featuring Special Guests, Allie and Katie from HERstory on the Rocks)

For our Season Five Finale episode, we are joined by Allie and Katie, the lovely ladies of the HERstory on the Rocks podcast! In this super special collaboration episode, we covered one of those most contested, debated, and controversial women out there...Tonya Harding!

Allie and Katie take us through Harding's rough childhood, whirlwind love life, and early skating career leading up to the Olympics. And then Rachel and Leah walk you through the Nancy Kerrigan scandal, Harding's removal from professional figure skating, and where she is now.

We take a deep dive into the way Harding was portrayed in the media, the unfair comparison to Kerrigan and other "ice princesses", the way Harding's childhood shaped the person she would become, and a weigh-in on Harding's level of guilt in the Kerrigan assault.
