According to theDaily Mail, Manning’s battle with addiction has been a transparent one, and it’s a journey that spans nearly a decade.
Back in 2016, the 46-year-old had been taken to a psychiatric hospital called Silver Hill, located in Connecticut, after reportedly suffering a breakdown while filmingOrange Is The New Black.
She checked out two days later and also worked with a “sober companion” for a month. During that time, she said she “doesn’t have a problem” and didn’t “partake in drugs of any kind.”

“I’ve never even seenmethamphetamine. Nothing. Never,” Manning claimed.
“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,” she toldThe Hollywood Reporter, additionally saying, “I call it the devil’s dandruff — can’t stand it.”
But talk of potential substance abuse, as well as mental health illnesses, continued throughout the years.
It became a central point of conversation again in August 2023, when the Falls Church native posted a three minute video on social media, explaining in graphic detail all the sexual acts she performed on an unnamed married man.
“Every night, well, for about three nights in a row… I was licking his b–thole because he liked it, and I didn’t mind doing it! Is that weird? That is what demons do,” she slurred from the driver’s seat of her whiteBMW.
The actress had previously been checked in to a psychiatric hospital — but was released two days later
After continuing on about their intimate moments, Manning revealed the man’s wife had threatened to file a restraining order against her and get her arrested.
“Don’t you ever threaten me when your husband came to me,” was the actress’s response.
She also said, “You should be scared of me.”
Regrets caught up to her the next day as Manning deleted the video and issued a statement.
“Over the past few days, I’ve had some time to reflect on the situation I’ve been dealing with,” she confessed. “I was deeply hurt and handled things on a public platform when I should’ve just dealt with them quietly with the support of my friends and family.”
