Harding, 38, toughened by years of answering questions about the incident, fought a boxing exhibition and charged $10 a pop for her signature, donating half of what she earns to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Harding, who hasn’t spoken to Kerrigan in years, said “You move on, but it still hurts because Nancy was a friend of mine. We roomed together on tour. We weren’t rivals — she was my friend and competition. The only rivals were the judges. Why would I want to hurt Nancy … hurt anybody?”
