After a lengthy court battle, the woman who has been harassing Orange Is the New Black star Taryn Manning will soon be behind bars.

Jeanine Heller, a onetime friend of the actress, pleaded guilty to harassment in court earlier today (after pleading guilty to criminal contempt on the same case months ago) and was sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Upon her release, Heller must complete a 7-10 day inpatient stay at a psychiatric center followed by an outpatient treatment program for a total of three weeks.

She must also comply with a full and final order of protection that states that she cannot contact Manning in any way whatsoever.

Heller has also been banned from using computers until her next court date, which is slated for March 30.

Earlier this month, Heller was arrested in New York City after violating the restraining order that had been put in place against her since last summer.

The latest complaint made against Heller stated that she continuously texted and called the actress and uploaded a "manifesto claiming to outline the history of the relationship" between them to Reddit.

One of the messages she was accused of sending to Manning read: "I miss you. Don't ruin your pretty smile with cigarettes. This is your fairy godmother" and "I was in the hospital last month. I tried to kill myself. I don't know why you teamed up to hurt me."

Heller faced 24 counts of criminal content and two counts of stalking.

A rep for Manning had no comment.
