Orange Is the New Black star Taryn Manning sparked concern on Monday when she appeared unrecognizable while walking in Los Angeles.
The actress, 46, looked markedly different from her previous public appearances, looking disheveled as she posed for the night sitting on the trunk of a car with a Trump/Vance sticker.
She was far from her red carpet glamour, looking disoriented and with a red scratch visible on her hand.
Manning, who played Tiffany ‘Pennsatucky’ Doggett on the hit Netflix series, wore a white T-shirt with the logo of punk band Suicidal Tendencies.
A white hooded, zippered jacket, which she paired with white sweatpants, partially covered her unkempt hair.
The 8 Mile star, who sparked concern last year with a viral and sexually explicit rant, drew attention to a red mark on her hand while adjusting her sweatpants.
Orange Is the New Black star Taryn Manning, 46, sparked concern on Monday when she appeared unrecognizable while leaving Los Angeles.
The look was a far cry from red carpet glamour; She is pictured at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills.
Manning, who grew up living in a trailer park with her brother and mother, was last seen in December when she was out in Palm Springs. She wore an eccentric Christmas outfit on her way to a Christmas party.
Dressed in a white fur-trimmed jacket, loose-fitting gray shorts, and knee-high yellow suede boots, Taryn embraced her unconventional look with style.
The former leading lady is supposed to make a triumphant return to Hollywood after landing a role in the indie drama Out Come The Wolves, where she stars alongside Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito.
Last month it was reported that filming for the film was underway in Portland, Oregon.
The film, which marks producer Danny Peykoff’s directorial debut, will see Manning play “a mother who never wanted to have a child and never stops hiding it,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
She was previously taken to the Silver Hill psychiatric hospital in nearby Connecticut in 2016 after suffering a nervous breakdown on the set of Orange Is the New Black, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Manning left after two days, but then worked with a sober partner for a month. At that time he stated that “he has no problem, nor does he use drugs of any kind.”
In 2023, Manning sparked concern after the slurring star posted a three-minute video detailing graphic sexual acts she had performed with an unnamed married lover.
She detailed how she performed alleged sexual acts with the man, wanted to buy him a boat, and claimed his wife threatened her with a restraining order.
She said: ‘Every night, well, for about three nights in a row… he was licking his bitch because he liked it, and I didn’t mind doing it! Is that weird? That’s what demons do.

She claimed the couple ‘drove to Newport Beach so they could buy him a boat because she was so in love with him.’
Manning went on to describe a confrontation he had with the man’s wife.
Manning said she “can’t stand” the man’s wife, who she says called her a lunatic and told her, “Get out of my life or I’ll put an RO (restraining order) on you.”
In a second shocking video, the star claimed the married man performed a sex act on her during the trip to Newport Beach.
Manning began acting in the late 1990s. She is best known for her breakout role as the tough and rebellious Tina in Britney Spears’ 2002 film Crossroads.
He later gained widespread recognition for his portrayal of Pennsatucky in the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black, earning critical praise for his complex performance. The program ran from 2013 to 2019.
His other notable performances include the popular series Sons of Anarchy (2008-2010), the film Hustle & Flow (2005), and the 2002 Eminem film 8 Mile.
Manning also pursued a music career, releasing two albums with his band, Boomkat, and collaborating with artists such as Kanye West.
Despite facing public controversy, including backlash for his 2021 film Karen, Manning has continued to work in the entertainment industry.
She was previously engaged to Anne Cline, but the couple ended their engagement in 2021.
Taryn and Anne had tried to resolve their differences, but ultimately decided that they were not compatible.

The two had only been together for about three months when they got engaged, as they were first linked in March 2021.
In 2020, Taryn supported her Crossroads co-star Spears during the #FreeBritney movement.
The actress shared a Crossroads photo of herself, Britney, and co-stars Zoe Saldana and Anson Mount, writing, “What a wonderful time with this team!”
She continued: ‘Britney, I know that you are strong and that you have your own brain and thought process. To me you look happy and like you’re having a great time! Keep up the happy posts and your faith in Jesus Christ. How about instead of #freebritney we say #GodIsWatchingOverBritney?
