Indeed, there are some supportive sentiments around the Internet when it comes to this whole ordeal, as some fans of “Orange Is the New Black” apparently see this as fitting for the actress in the context of her role on the show. Whether or not this is a mainstream opinion or more of a niche one is hard to tell right now, though.
In any case, it doesn’t seem like the reputation of Manning is currently in a particularly bad situation, and it looks like the actress should be able to continue her career without any real interruptions.
And who knows, maybe her fans are right too – maybe this whole thing will actually work out in her favor and make her an even more prominent name on TV, drawing her to productions where she could portray the same kind of role.
The only possible problem with this is the issue of typecasting, but many actors don’t actually have much against this, as they see it as a good platform for getting reliable work. And indeed, for some it has worked out quite well in the past, as some actors have actually built their careers on specific types of roles. Whether Taryn Manning is headed for the same is hard to say, as she already has an established career under her belt with some diverse roles.
