Harding Shamed by Reality TV Boxing Bout
2/3/06
Figure skater-turned-reality TV star Tonya Harding is ashamed of her
performance on US TV show Celebrity Boxing - because she let down the
sport she now loves.
The 35-year-old, who was implicated in the 1994 conspiracy to cripple
skating rival Nancy Kerrigan and banned from the sport, duked it out with
Bill Clinton's alleged sexual harassment victim Paula Jones on the reality
fight night.
And though she had a blast in the ring back in 2002, and has since
turned to professional boxing, Harding admits she hates seeing footage of
her televised punch-up.
She says, "When I fought Paula Jones, that was the most fun thing
I ever did.
Except now, being a professional and watching it on TV, I am so
embarrassed."
