Taryn Manning, the star of the Netflix hit show "Orange Is the New Black," has been arrested, TMZ reported.

The celebrity gossip website cited "law enforcement sources" who said the actress was accused of "making criminal threats against a former close friend."

"Taryn had been ordered to stay away from Jeanine Heller, a former pal after the two ended up in court and a judge issued a mutual domestic restraining order," TMZ said.

Heller is Manning's former roommate, the New York Daily News explained, and the two parted ways in February 2013.

"Similar to her no-holds-barred character ... Manning reportedly threatened to kill her frenemy, Jeanine Heller, via text and social media," the newspaper detailed. "The two had previously been issued a mutual domestic restraining order, but Manning apparently violated it with her recent threats."

Manning was reportedly cited for contempt of court after she failed to appear for a hearing and was subsequently arrested by police.

The troubled relationship, meanwhile, has already led to two arrests for Heller, who "reportedly stalked (Manning), sending her hundreds of texts, emails and phone calls in order to make her paranoid." The former roommate denied those allegations, however, telling Radar Online that she never stalked or harassed the "Orange Is the New Black" star.

TMZ cited court documents, which contained some of the text messages Heller had allegedly sent Manning.

"Taryn's threatening messages included: 'I will kill you, bitch,' 'Go (expletive) yourself and die' and 'What's taking so long? Shouldn't you be dead by now?'" the website detailed.

In "Orange Is the New Black," Manning plays Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett -- "a caricature of an ignorant/hillbilly/Jesus freak/meth head," according to Bitch magazine. The comedy-drama series, created by Jenji Kohan, was first released on Netflix in July 2013, has received critical acclaim, and has already renewed for Season 3 by Netflix.

Manning, a native of Tucson, Arizona, has appeared in a variety of television series, including "Burn Notice" and "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit," as well as in feature films such as "Low Down" and "Zombie Apocalypse."
