Orange Is the New Black's Pennsatucky star unrecognisable in concerning new snaps

Taryn Manning is best known for playing Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett in the hit Netflix series, Orange Is The New Black

Orange Is The New Black star Taryn Manning worried fans with her unrecognisable look as she was out and about in Los Angeles.

The 46-year-old is best known for playing Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett in the Netflix show. Her character was introduced as an evangelical Christian who ranted about any perceived sins. Taryn also played Mimi in the hit Britney Spears movie, Crossroads, and Rita in Sons of Anarchy.

She regularly appeared on red carpet events looking glamorous but recent pictures of her in Los Angeles sparked concern. The actress posed on the trunk of a car with a Donald Trump/JD Vance sticker on it. She wore white sweatpants, a Suicidal Tendencies band t-shirt, a white hoodie, and sunglasses despite taking the picture at night.

Taryn looked dishevelled with wet hair as she posed with her mouth open. In 2016, Taryn was taken to a psychiatric hospital in Connecticut after having a breakdown on the OITNB set. She checked out of the clinic after two days and later worked with a sober companion for a month.

At the time, she said she 'doesn’t have a problem, nor does she partake in drugs of any kind.' She said: "I've never even seen methamphetamine. Nothing. Never. I'm not saying I’ve never done drugs. I've made it clear [on Instagram] that I used to do a bump [of cocaine] here and there, but not anymore. I call it the devil's dandruff — can't stand it."

Two years ago, she also sparked concern with her fans when she took to social media to post a lengthy rant about the graphic sexual acts to performed to a mystery married partner. In the three-minute video, she said she performed sexual acts on the man, wanted to buy him a boat and was later threatened with a restraining order from his wife.

Taryn explained: "Last night, well, for about three nights in a row…I was l*****g his b******e because he liked it, and I didn’t mind doing it! Is that weird? That is what demons do." She also claimed she had an argument with the man's wife, saying she 'can't stand' her. She claimed the wife called her a lunatic and told the actress: "You get out of my life or I’ll get an RO [restraining order] on you."

The star returned to social media and posted a second video where she claimed the man performed a sexual act on her while they were driving to Newport Beach. She later apologised for the video rants.
