Nancy Kerrigan isn't shying away from questions about the Tonya Harding scandal 20 years later, but has made it clear she has moved on, even if the public hasn't.
NBC recently aired the documentary "Nancy & Tonya", a 45-minute special of "the whack heard around the world," which refers to Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly hitting Kerrigan in the knee in an attempt to keep her from competing in the 1994 Olympics.
"I can remember saying to the FBI, 'Well, maybe Tonya really didn't know, maybe they did [the attack] for her," Kerrigan told NBC. "And they said, 'Nancy, we can't prove it, but we think she was the mastermind of the whole thing.'"
"It's sad, the bizarre craziness that all transpired," Kerrigan added. "It's too bad, because she's talented."
Kerrigan also cleared up the assumption she was whining about being hit in the knee. The video seen around the world showed Kerrigan clutching her knee screaming, "Why?"
"Some people said it was whiny. 'Oh, the ice princess is whining.' Whining?! I wasn't whining. I had just been hit with a metal baton by a big, strong person," Kerrigan told NBC "If you've never been attacked, you have no idea what you would do."
However, Harding expressed to NBC she wished to fully move on from the scandal.
"You guys, this '20-year thing' ... whatever. It's like, I'm done," Harding said. "Nobody wants to hear this crap anymore. And you know what? I don't give a damn."
Kerrigan has expressed she has moved on from the incident, but wished her only connection with Harding was as her teammate.
"I would have chosen a different path if I could," Kerrigan told NBC. "I would've liked to have just done what I worked so hard for and not have to be linked like that. I could be linked as 'we're teammates' as opposed to this horrific act."
