Taryn Manning, ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Star, Sues NYC For $10 Million

Orange Is The New Black star Taryn Manning is suing the city of New York for a reported $10 million for falsely arresting her in 2014. Manning was accused of threatening the person who she claims was stalking and harassing her.

Manning was arrested on November 18, 2014 at the Fifth Precinct station in Chinatown after, she says, detectives promised she would not be charged.

The arrest prompted a meeting between Manning’s attorney, Stacey Richman, and the arresting officer after Manning’s alleged stalker, Jeanine Heller, claimed the actress sent her threatening text messages which violated an order of protection.

Following her arrest, Manning said she had to wait hours until she was released.

“The meeting ended when I was handcuffed by a detective and locked in a small room adjacent to the interview room,” Manning, 37, said in a sworn affidavit. “Approximately 20 minutes later, I was removed . . . still handcuffed and marched through the precinct. I was processed and ultimately placed in a holding cell.”

“My damages include attorney’s fees, hours of detention, emotional distress and reputational harm,” Manning said.

Heller continued to text Manning which violated a conditional discharge, Manning claims. She was sentenced to six months in jail last summer.

Manning has also had her fair share of run ins with the law. Her makeup artist accused the actress of beating her up less then two weeks ago stating Manning head-butted her, whipped her with a wet towel and sprayed her in the eyes with Windex last November, TMZ reported.
