    A representative for ‘Dancing with the Stars’ insists it was the ‘Orange Is the New Black’ actress who repeatedly asked to be on the show but the show turned her down.

    Oct 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – A representative for U.S. TV show “Dancing with the Stars” has slammed Taryn Manning’s claims that she’d turned down the chance to appear on the show.
    The “Orange Is the New Black” star told the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six that she opted against competing on the talent competition for fears she would be viewed as a “has been.”
    “I’ve been asked to be on many times,” she said. “I have this weird phobia that (competing on the show) means you’re a has-been, and I never want to believe that’s the case. Maybe it’s my own stuff, but, yeah, I’m definitely a good dancer.”

    However, a spokesperson for “Dancing With the Stars” has denied her claims, insisting she was the one who asked to be part of the show but they declined.
    “Taryn claims she’s been asked to join the cast ‘many times,’ however, we have never asked Taryn to be part of the show,” the representative said. “Her representation attempted to pitch her to us a while back and we kindly passed. So her claim that she was asked to join DWTS once, never mind many times, is completely false.”
    “Her thoughts that the contestants consist of ‘has-beens’ seems to be her own projection onto talent that we have asked to cast.”
    Former “Desperate Housewives” star Jesse Metcalfe was voted off the current season of the show earlier this week (beg12Oct20), while rapper Nelly and Backstreet Boys singer A.J. McLean are among the celebrities still dancing on the series.

      Taryn Manning to Play Racist 'Karen' From Viral BLM Videos in New Movie

      The ‘Orange Is the New Black’ actress has been signed on to play an entitled white woman who terrorizes her African-American neighbors in an upcoming feature film.
      Aug 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Taryn Manning is set to bring an entitled ‘Karen’ to the big screen.
      Karen is the stereotypical name that has become synonymous with white women seen in videos on social media being racist or acting in an entitled manner.
      And according to Movieweb, the “Orange Is the New Black” star’s character will embody a composite of the women who have been seen in the viral videos in a new feature film directed by Coke Daniels.
      Manning will reportedly play a woman named Karen White, “who believes people should stick to their own kind.” She’s also described as a “racist, entitled white woman in the South who terrorises her new African-American neighbours,” supporters of Black Lives Matter, in a bid to get them to move.
      Daniels is the filmmaker behind the 2007 mockumentary movie “Gangsta Rap: A Glockumentary”. The comedy followed a trio of rappers inspired by the famous rap group N.W.A hoping to make a big musical comeback. More recently, he directed the romantic comedy “His, Hers & the Truth”, which starred Terri J. Vaughn, Dorien Wilson, and Ashani Roberts.
      In “OITNB”, Manning played Tiffany ‘Pennsatucky’ Doggett, a character she described as “racist, homophobic” and “horrible” in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
      “Everything that I’m not is what she was, so it was very tough,” the 41-year-old told the publication last year.
