Taryn Manning sets the record straight on the rumor that she violated a restraining order. "There are no charges against me ... This is just further harassment. It is troubling that the system can be used to abuse the actual victim," she tweeted.
Manning was accused of threatening to kill her former friend Jeanine Heller after both women were granted a mutual restraining order to keep each other's away. Manning was reportedly arrested after she failed to show up during a court hearing.
"I could go on any media outlet and tell the real story but I'd rather save my time and energy for things that really matter. All will unfold," the "Orange Is the New Black" star vehemently denied the accusations.
His lawyer added, "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."
"Ms. Manning is a law abiding person who has respect for the law and the privilege of her profession. The fact that there are no criminal charges against Ms. Manning with regard to the purported allegations against her is a clear demonstration of her innocence."
"Ms. Manning will as always maintain the high road. She wishes no contact from Ms. Heller and has had to spend great sums to hire security for her protection."
