About this episode
"There's no such thing as truth. It's bullsh*t. Everyone has their own truth, and life just does whatever the f*ck it want." To discuss the story of Tonya Harding is to discuss the ‘90s news cycle, “white trash America,” misogyny, and the vilification of girls living in poverty. This week The Wives Colangelo are talking about the Oscar-winning biopic, I, TONYA. This is a pretty charged conversation about the perceptions and assumptions society projects onto someone when the media needs a villain, and what happens when a person's reputation outlasts their humanity. Be advised, this episode includes discussions of abuse and domestic violence. ---- Articles Referenced Making an Ice Queen (by Sarah Marshall!): https://thebaffler.com/latest/i-tonya-marshall In Defense of Tonya Harding: https://www.damemagazine.com/2018/01/19/i-know-what-its-like-to-be-tonya-harding/ ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
