Taryn Manning on Complicated Relationship With Her Mother: ‘She Doesn’t Like Me at All’

Taryn Manning is opening up about her relationship with her mother.

"My mom's rad. She's an incredible woman, she really is," Manning said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday.

Still, the Orange Is the New Black alum shared that she and her mom have their issues.

"But we don't see eye to eye. She doesn't like me at all. I remind her of my dad," she said.

Manning said that she and her mother Sharyn's dispute dates back to when she was a teenager. She recalled landing a role in the 2001 film Crazy/Beautiful alongside Kirsten Dunst. Manning, who beat out five other actresses for the part, said her mom had mixed feelings about the "ups and downs" of her career in Hollywood.

"That was a really exciting day. I cried and called my mom. Anytime I got a part, she was the first person I called," she recalled. "I'll never forget the day when she stopped wanting to hear about my career. She told me that it was too emotional for her, all the ups and downs and the rejection. I'd be, like, 'Well, I'm the one that's doing it, lady.'"

Though she landed big-screen roles as a teenager, Manning confessed her humble beginnings pushed her to work even harder throughout her career, which caused her to make sacrifices in her personal life.

"It's sad because I've realized that my life has passed by. I'm not married. I don't have children," said the actress. "I wish that I did, but I was always grinding because I never felt totally secure. I never felt like, 'Oh, I'm good. I've got tons of money and now I can relax.' It was always, 'Go, go, go to get the next job.'"
