Taryn Manning's controversial relationship history with numerous individuals. The details have resurfaced amid her alleged attack on Holly Hartman.
Actress, Taryn Manning, known for her role in Orange Is the New Black, is currently making headlines not for her film roles, but for a real-life controversy. She has caught all eyes due to her alleged violent altercation with her girlfriend, Holly Hartman. Multiple reports and video footage surfacing on March 30, 2026, show Taryn in what has been described as a "knock-down, drag-out" fight in Palm Springs, California. The clips captured the actress in a heated exchange with Holly, during which she appears to scream about her studio being damaged.
The verbal altercation turned physical at one point, when Taryn kicked a bag toward Holly and appeared to lunge at her. The recent issue between Taryn and Holly follows a decade-long history of legal and physical disputes between them. Notably, Taryn Manning's last relationships have also been controversial and highly publicised, including bombshell accusations against Rick Mendoza, a brief engagement to Anne Cline, and an alleged affair with an unnamed married man. Here's a look at Taryn Manning's controversial relationship history.
Over a decade before Taryn Manning and her current girlfriend, Holly Hartman's recent violent altercation, they sparked a similar controversy. In 2012, Taryn was arrested for allegedly punching, kicking, and choking Holly (who was her makeup artist at the time) at a hotel in Manhattan. These charges were later dropped after she completed community service. Four years later, legal troubles returned to their relationship when Holly Hartman filed a restraining order in Los Angeles against Taryn. The former alleged that the latter had headbutted her, whipped her with a wet towel, and sprayed Windex in her eyes and mouth.
Holly further claimed Taryn annoyed her to the extent of forcing her to "pick a knife" so she could be "famous for killing Taryn Manning." A judge denied the request for a restraining order because the alleged incident occurred in New York, outside the court's jurisdiction. Taryn Manning's legal team denied Holly's claims, labelling them as "entirely fabricated." Notably, they even previously accused Holly of stalking and theft. Adding on to the already turbulent relationship of the couple, their recent March 2026 physical violence made netizens label their relationship as toxic.
Taryn Manning reportedly had a toxic relationship with paparazzo, Rick Mendoza. In August 2023, she posted a viral video detailing a confrontation with Rick Mendoza. In the video, she accused him of harassment and behaving inappropriately toward her. She publicly accused Rick of subjecting her to a "living hell" by stalking, digital intrusion, and the leaking of intimate photos. While Taryn described her relationship with Rick as toxic and abusive, he denied the allegations, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
Notably, Taryn clarified that Rick never physically harmed her; however, she alleged that he sent her and her loved ones harassing messages. A friend of hers told the Daily Mail that she was suffering due to him and alleged that he leaked her intimate photos out of "jealousy" for her having genuine friends. Blaming Rick, she stated:
"He's hurt a lot of women - not physically but he's broken a lot of hearts,' she shared. 'He actually got me good but I can't deal with him anymore."
Taryn Manning and musician, Anne Cline had a brief engagement in 2021 that lasted roughly three months. On June 11, 2021, Anne of Cline Street, proposed to Taryn during a performance at a bar and grill in Panama City, Florida. In a video footage obtained by TMZ, Anne jumped off the stage and got down on one knee, surprising Taryn. At that time, the latter stated it was "the easiest YES I ever said!" By early October 2021, reports from outlets such as Page Six and PEOPLE confirmed that the engagement had been called off. Insiders claimed that Taryn agreed to the proposal only because she felt "put on the spot" and would have found it awkward to turn Anne down in front of a live audience.
In August 2023, Taryn subsequently deleted a graphic video in which she confessed to having an affair with an unnamed married man. She claimed that she had been involved with him for several weeks. Taryn stated that he told her he would leave his wife, but she eventually realised that "wasn't possible." In the original video, she shared explicit details of her sexual encounter with the man. Shortly after the video went viral, Taryn Manning posted an apology on Instagram, stating she was "deeply hurt" and regretted handling the situation so publicly.
