Orange is the New Black: Taryn Manning claims Instagram post criticising co-stars was hack

Taryn Manning claims that an Instagram post criticising her time on Orange Is the New Black was a hack.

In a now deleted message, Manning seemed to have told her followers that the Netflix show "hurt me more than anything has in my life" and that "not one cast member cares about me".

“This show hurt me more than anything has in my life and if this is what I have to do to push what I stand for I will,” the post on Manning's account said. “I have to speak out before anything happens to me. F*** fame! This show hurt humans. You will never truly know but many were hurt!”

After Manning's former co-star Lori Petty (Lolly Whitehill) replied "Hey. I love you," Manning's apparent hacker responded with a pretty length comment.

"Thx bubs I know you do. And I love you. I am giving up everything to speak on how awful this career is and how awful we are treated. How I never knew if I was coming back yet I had seven optional seasons. How I didn’t even know how to plan my life, organise anything cause everything was a secret. Self serving bulls***, for whatever sick agenda.

It continued: "How some of the most dear characters were just not there anymore. My pals. F*** this show."

Manning played Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett in the show since 2013.

The seventh and final season – which also stars Taylor Schilling and Uzo Aduba – was released by Netflix on Friday.
