OITNB’s Taryn Manning reportedly arrested for threatening stalker, Taryn disagrees
According to TMZ, Orange Is the New Black actress Taryn Manning was arrested and is facing charges for making criminal threats against former friend turned stalker, Jeanine Heller.
Taryn and Jeanine had a “mutual domestic restraining order” that the actress allegedly violated by threatening to kill Jeanine via text and social media, according to the site. Those reported threats included “I will kill you, bitch” … “Go f**k yourself and die” … “What’s taking so long? Shouldn’t you be dead by now?”
Taryn has since taken to Twitter in response to the TMZ post and says, “There are no charges against me,” before adding, “This is just further harassment. It is troubling that the system can be used to abuse the actual victim.” She then wrote, “For a phone call and a lot of time on your hands, you too can get a news media outlet to post totally incorrect information! #sarcastictweet”
Here are all of Taryn’s tweets since the story broke, including her announcement that she is apparently going to deal with it by heading to Disneyland:
Oh! That's what happened huh? Id say get the ALL the facts correct before any posting @TMZ or tell the whole story. Let's get it right!

UPDATE – TMZ has apparently taken heed of Taryn’s tweets. “We’re told he DA has already declined to prosecute Manning,” they added to their post.
UPDATE – Taryn has added a couple more tweet responses, including one about this article. 🙂

That's a very dark allegation you printed about something I allegedly did @PageSix I understand journalism but not when it isn't researched.

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

In case you missed it, Taryn and Jeanine have had a stormy, headline-grabbing acrimonious relationship that includes multiple stalker arrests for Jeanine.
