Legal and personal issues

On October 12, 2012, Manning was arrested for assaulting her personal assistant and makeup artist, Holli Hartman. Hartman, who resided in Manning's apartment at the time, declined to prosecute. Manning's lawyer cited Hartman as saying that she and Manning loved each other and wanted the ordeal to be over. In November 2012, Manning accepted a plea bargain of one day of community service and good behavior for the next six months, after which the case would be closed. In November 2014, Manning was arrested for violating a restraining order and making criminal threats against girlfriend, Jeanine Heller. In 2015, Manning accused Heller of harassment. Heller was sentenced to four months in jail for violating the conditions of her plea bargain. Prior to their relationship souring, Heller and Manning lived together at Heller's New York residence. In 2016, it was found that Manning had fabricated contact violations, and as a result Heller had been falsely arrested and imprisoned via forced plea deal. As of 2020 Heller has not taken legal action against Manning or the Manhattan DA. In 2016, Manning was again accused of attacking girlfriend Hollianne Hartman. Hartman sought a domestic restraining order against Manning but was denied due to jurisdictional issues. The attack was one of several that Hartman claimed to have suffered, with the most recent alleged abuse occurring in late 2015 at Manning's Manhattan apartment. Manning's lawyer stated that the application for a restraining order was preceded by stalking and theft charges filed against Hartman and was intended as a distraction from those charges. In 2016, Manning filed a lawsuit against the state of New York claiming she was falsely arrested in 2014. A Manhattan Judge dismissed the case stating Manning's claims “lacked merit” and no such violation occurred. It was further revealed Manning had fabricated allegations of stalking and subsequent claims of contact violations against her former roommate and girlfriend. In 2019, Manning claimed she was "epically hack d and the victim of "cyber-criminals" and "
