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.
