A former makeup artist and friend of Orange is the New Black star, Taryn Manning, has filed a restraining order against the actress after claims she was brutally attacked in November.
Holly Hartman has claimed Manning attacked her in her New York City apartment by headbutting her in the face, spraying Windex in her eyes, whipping her with a wet towel and holding her in a headlock.
According to TMZ, Hartman wrote in the documents Manning told her during the fight, “Pick a knife. I'm wearing a white shirt there will be a lot of blood. You will be famous for killing Taryn Manning."
However, her restraining order was denied due to Hartman filing it in Los Angeles instead of where the alleged altercation took place.
Manning’s rep has responded to the restraining order filing, calling it “suspect” because they haven’t talked in months.
"The application for the order is suspect because Ms. Manning has had no contact with Ms. Hartman in many months due to Ms. Hartman's actions against Ms. Manning which are currently under criminal investigation in multiple jurisdictions," her attorney told People.
"These investigations have long predated these entirely fabricated allegations. Ms. Hartman is under investigation for stalking Ms. Manning and for theft and other crimes. It is clear that Ms. Hartman's camp has leaked these allegations which were not available publicly to elevate her own position and obscure her own wrong doing."
Manning was arrested for assaulting Hartman back in 2012, but the charges were dropped.
