Tonya Harding’s Agent Quits Over After She Insists Reporters Be Fined For Asking About Nancy Kerrigan

Tonya Harding‘s career has been seeing a resurgence since I, Tonya came out and the public revisited Harding’s figure skating career.

TONYA HARDING’S AGENT QUITS

In the film, Margot Robbie portrayed the disgraced Olympian, who in 1994 was allegedly hired someone to bludgeon rival Nancy Kerrigan‘s kneecaps before the Olympic trials. Harding still denies she had anything to do with it. Now, her agent Michael A. Rosenberg has quit after the skater requested that all reporters who ask about the Kerrigan incident be fined.

During the I, Tonya promotional tour, Rosenberg revealed Harding’s demand in a Facebook post and shared that he decided not to work with her going forward.

“I, Tonya is now ‘goodbye, Tonya,'” he wrote. “Unfortunately, we reached an impasse today on how to treat the press in the future. Her adamant and final position is that reporters must sign an affidavit stating that they won’t ask her anything ‘about the past’ or they’ll be fined $25,000. Obviously, it doesn’t work that way, and therefore I’ve chosen to terminate our business relationship,” he said. “I am sad as I write this; but at the same time I’m happy that I had such an adventure with the movie and with recreating a new positive image for her in the public eye. And I sincerely wish her the best.”

Harding, 47, has been enjoying traveling from red carpet to red carpet with the film crew. Luckily for her, I, Tonya portrays the skater as a victim of her mother, played wonderfully by Allison Janney, and her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, who performed the botched hit on Kerrigan.

Kerrigan, however, also wants to put it all behind her, and says she hasn’t had the time to watch the new film. “I was the victim,” she told the Boston Globe. “Like, that’s my role in this whole thing. That’s it.”
