Kinda white trashy huh!? Tonya Harding faces eviction January 16, 2002 Posted: 10:53 AM EST (1553 GMT) VANCOUVER, Washington (AP) -- Tonya Harding's landlord has filed a lawsuit to evict the former Olympic figure skater and her roommate from a three-bedroom riverfront home. Landlord Dale E. Anderson claims Harding and her former manager Linda Lewis owe him $4,530 in rent, according to court documents filed Monday in Clark County Superior Court. Harding, 31, and Lewis have been renting the 1,300-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch house overlooking the Columbia River since August 2000, court documents say. On January 9, they were served a three-day notice either to pay their $1,195 monthly rent for November, December and January, plus late fees, or leave, the documents say. Anderson said they had neither paid nor left the property as of Monday. The lawsuit seeks to have Harding and Lewis pay the rent and late fees, move out of the house, forfeit their deposit and pay an additional $450 in attorney's fees. Neither Harding nor Lewis could be reached for comment Tuesday. They're scheduled to appear in court Jan. 25. Once a top figure skater, Harding made headlines with a knee-whacking attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan before the 1994 U.S. National Championships and the Winter Olympics. After finishing eighth in the Olympics that year, Harding pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution and was stripped of her national championship title. Harding's last court appearance was in May 2000, when she was sentenced to three days in the Clark County Jail for assaulting her then-boyfriend with a hubcap.
from http://www.tonyaharding.com "It's an image that the media has given me as a bad girl, and the only reason they gave me that image is just because of the few things that have gone wrong in my life, and also because I grew up living in a trailer. I moved around 13 different times before I was in fifth grade, not having money, not having a lot of friends. My biological mother made my clothes or bought my clothes from Salvation Army or Goodwill. And so, you know, that's where the bad girl image came from." -- I guess you don't pay rent when you own a trailer!
Leno was talking about how she's planning to do a nude figure skating tour. Probably to pay off her debts.

Yeah, it probably has nothing to do with you having someone's leg busted up with a tire iron and getting your honeymoon video of you bumping uglies with your nasty husband spread all over the internet.
I saw an interviewer trying to speak to Tonya through her front door...*beep* you....get off my *beep* property or I'll call the *beep* police! Great stuff.
