Taryn Manning’s apology for revealing her affair with a married man: ‘I was deeply hurt’

Taryn Manning now regrets posting a bizarre, explicit video about an alleged affair.

The “Sons of Anarchy” and “Orange is the New Black” star, 44, apologized for sharing publicly the highly explicit and raunchy details about her affair with an unnamed married man. 

On Monday, the actress published on Instagram, “Over the past few days, I’ve had some time to reflect on the situation I’ve been dealing with. I was deeply hurt and handled things on a public platform when I should’ve dealt with them quietly with the support of my close friends and family.”

She claimed she considered lying about the incident before fessing up. 

“I started a relationship with somebody who was married and told me he would leave his wife. In the end, I found out that wasn’t possible.”

She went on to say that she prides herself on being an “ethical” person.

“I know what I did was wrong, but the heart makes you do crazy things sometimes. I am sorry for exposing my situation; I am not sorry for how I love.” 

Manning is best known for playing Tiffany “Pennsatucky” Doggett in “Orange is the New Black,” who exchanged sexual favors for money before she was imprisoned. She also played Cherry on “Sons of Anarchy,” a character who ironically also slept with a married man, Clay (Ron Perlman).

In the original video shared last weekend, which was quickly deleted, Manning shared highly explicit details about her sex life with this unnamed married man while appearing to slur her words.

“Every night, well, for about three nights in a row…I was licking his butthole because he liked it, and I didn’t mind doing it! Is that weird? That is what demons do,” she said.

She didn’t reveal the man’s identity, but she claimed that his wife called her a lunatic and threatened to get a restraining order against the actress. 

 “Anyway, so I’ve been licking your man’s butthole for weeks on end because he likes it a lot and I do it to him and he comes to me and it happens,” Manning said in the video, apparently addressing the wife, who she also didn’t name. 

“Don’t you ever threaten me. I will show you how I do. Don’t you ever threaten me when your husband came to me to get his butthole licked.”

Following that bizarre and explicit video, Manning is now calling for privacy in her follow-up apology post. 

“I hope to find somebody who cherishes me the way I adore them. A healthy type of love…this was a huge learning lesson for me. With all this said, I am asking everyone for privacy so I can please heal and mend my heart.” 

Manning did not reply to The Post’s request for comment.
