An actress in the hit Netflix prison show “Orange is the New Black” has reportedly pressed stalking charges against a former pal, who a law enforcement source claims barraged her with emails and texts, reports The New York Post.
Jeanine Heller, was arraigned late Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court on a misdemeanor for allegedly sending small screen star Taryn Manning hundreds of online messages between April and July, the source said.
A judge released Heller without bail, but issued orders of protection barring her from any contact with Manning, Manning’s mother Sharon — or the Manning family’s dog, “Penguin.”

Manning, is best known for her roles in “Hustle & Flow” and “Orange is the New Black.”
