This may be the craziest comeback story ever.

Disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding was the toast of Sunday’s Golden Globes — strutting the red carpet with the cast of “I, Tonya” and being thanked and lauded by actress Allison Janney 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,” Janney said.

“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. Tell a story about truth and the perception of truth in the media.”

And the former athlete — who was nationally scorned for her role in knee-capping rival Nancy Kerrigan ahead of the 1994 Winter Olympics — should be thanking “I, Tonya” right back, according to public relations experts, because the film and its marketing gave the real-life Harding a priceless image makeover to move tickets.

“The film and its pre-press, they softened up the image of Tonya Harding. They made her a sympathetic person,” said David Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision PR.

“She’s been more willing to accept blame, more cognizant of the damage that had been done to Kerrigan. It made her a far more sympathetic person.”

The hit film recasts Harding from the scheming redneck who tried to sabotage her biggest competition to a feisty underdog who was the victim of an abusive mother and husband — and lays the blame for the attack on Kerrigan at his feet.

And it didn’t hurt that Margot Robbie was in the title role.

“The film industry doesn’t want to cast Margot as this villain that will affect her brand down the road,” Johnson says.

With her newly recovered fame, don’t be surprised if you soon see Harding alongside other has-beens on “Dancing with the Stars” or a similar reality show, he said.

But you’ll probably never see her welcomed into the commentary box — movie magic can only do so much.

“I don’t think she can be redeemed that far,” he said.
