LaVona Fay Golden, the mother of disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, denied consistently abusing Harding, while saying that drinking scenes in the new biopic film “I, Tonya” are not accurate.

“I didn’t abuse any of my children,” Golden told ABC News. “Spanked? Yes, (I) spanked. Absolutely, positively you (have) got to show them right from wrong.”
