Taryn Manning Might Have Gotten Arrested For Threatening To Kill Her Friend-Turned-Stalker

Back in July, a bunch of dramatic shit went down between Taryn Manning (aka crazy meth-mouthed hillbilly princess Pennsatucky from OITNB) and her former friend Jeanine Heller that ended with Taryn and Jeanine getting slapped with a mutual restraining order after neither would stop sending each other nasty texts and dragging each other on social media. Even Taryn’s dog Penguin got dragged into that mess. Poor Penguin – he doesn’t need that shit!

Not surprisingly, Taryn and Jeanine weren’t able to go more than 24-hours without antagonizing each other. Jeanine ended up being the first to get arrested for violating their mutual restraining order, and now it looks like it’s Taryn’s turn. According to TMZ, Taryn recently started sending a bunch of not-nice texts and messages through social media to Jeanine, like “Go fuck yourself and die” and “I will kill you, bitch“. Jeanine took them to court, and a judge determined on Tuesday that sending death threats is a clear violation of their restraining order. DUH! Unfortunately, Taryn didn’t show up to court, so the judge cited her for contempt and told police to arrest her ass.

However, according to Taryn Manning, she was never arrested and TMZ’s story is BS. Taryn took to Twitter to explain that despite being as crazy as the character she plays on TV, you won’t see her in an orange jumpsuit any time soon:

Taryn’s lawyers have also stuck their noses into it, telling TMZ:

“The District Attorney declined to prosecute Ms. Manning and the arrest was voided. The allegation was false. It is unfortunate that additional false allegations by an individual convicted of violating orders of protection intended to protect Ms. Manning are facilitated by purported news organizations to perpetuate the harassment of Ms. Manning exponentially.”

And TMZ has called shenanigans on Taryn’s lawyers, saying that the NYPD told them that the arrest was never voided. So maybe Taryn Manning was arrested, maybe Taryn Manning wasn’t arrested – who the hell knows? All I know is, this shit is like the left side of a split-screen in a paper towel commercial; a damn MESS! Even Alex Forrest is like “You crazy bitches need to knock it off.” At least do it for the sake of Penguin. Penguin doesn’t want to end up in a pot of water on the stove!
