Is The Lead Of The Upcoming ‘Karen’ Slasher Flick A Karen IRL?

Despite this barrage of jokes, it seems that the production team behind the film absolutely slayed one element of production — prominently featuring Taryn Manning, an alleged real-life Karen, as the film’s eponymous villain. 

Yep, although Manning has been long beloved for her work in Orange is the New Black, 8 Mile, Hustle & Flow, and of course, Britney Spears’s iconic 2002 summer smash, Crossroads, it seems the actress may be a Karen after all, a notion evident through her apparent penchant for the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory. Historically tight-lipped about her political inclinations, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement last June catalyzed Manning, like many others, to speak out about the social issues that matter to her. Yet instead of using her platform of more than one million followers to share important resources or express solidarity, Manning posted a QAnon-inspired post seemingly praising then-President Donald Trump directly after officers gassed peaceful protesters to secure him a photo op in front of St.John’s church in Washington D.C.
