"Orange Is The New Black" Season 5 is set to premiere some time during the summer. Prior to its airing, there has been lots of rumors regarding the change in cast and in particular, it was mentioned that Taryn Manning is leaving the show.

Shortly after reports of her supposed departure from the program have emerged, the actress debunked the news through her Instagram page. On Jan. 19, Manning uploaded a photo of a quote which says, "It's always the ones with the dirty hands pointing the fingers."

She also captioned the photo with hashtags of #quit and #never then added "I love my squad! Silly magazines but still love ya!" The actress was obviously referring to In Touch, the magazine that published an article about her quitting from "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5.

The article has since been deleted but the words already spread so fans were saddened that she will be leaving. But apparently, fans have nothing to fear now since Manning herself had denied the reports.

Netflix also quashed the rumors by telling Entertainment Weekly that the article that appeared on In Touch was totally false. In any case, the online streaming site and entertainment company have yet to release new details about the upcoming "Orange Is the New Black" Season 5.

So far, what everyone already knows about the prison-themed comedy drama is that the series will surely have its season 6 and 7 as Netflix already renewed the show for additional two seasons. Also, filming for the fifth season was revealed to have already begun in July last year.

Manning kept her role as the inmate "Pennsatucky" on "Orange Is The New Black" Season 5. Two characters might also be making a comeback and they are Michelle Hurst who played as Miss Claudette and Lori Petty who was known as Lolly in the drama.
