She recently revealed that she has been struggling with her sobriety.

'Some days it sucks and some days it sucks worse. I am not ashamed of this obstacle because I have accepted that it is okay to not be okay,' she added.
Taryn said she can't do rehab because of her schedule, but has a sober companion, therapists, friends and 'other safe outlets'.
She also praised the OITNB cast and crew.
