Tonya Harding thanked by Allison Janney in Golden Globes speech (video)

Disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding was in attendance at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards, where Allison Janney won Best Supporting Actress for playing Harding’s mom in the dark comedy, “I, Tonya.”

“Tonya Harding is here tonight,” Janney said in her acceptance speech. “I’d like to thank Tonya for sharing her story with [writer] Steven [Rogers], and allowing him to tell all the different sides of the story … tell a story about class in America. Tell a story about the disenfranchised. Tell a story about a woman who was not embraced for her individuality.
