The Truth About Taryn Manning's Troubling Past

While she was acting long before being cast on the hit Netflix series "Orange is the New Black," her appearance on the show is when her career took off. During the show's run from 2013 to 2019, the role gained Manning more acclaim as an actress, and the majority of the awards that she has won — three of her four Screen Actors Guild awards and a nomination — have been for her character as Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett (via IMDb).

But as her fame grew, so did other issues. Outside of making news for being on the critically-acclaimed show, Manning had problems off-screen. In 2014, she was arrested in New York City for violating a restraining order, reported New York Daily News. The protective order came a year prior when Manning and a former roommate had a dispute, which ultimately led to the court order. But Manning defied the order when she allegedly made threats against her accuser, who also broke the agreement a few months earlier, says Los Angeles Times. Manning attempted to deny the claims when media outlets reported her arrest, but only more would happen in the aftermath.
