On Monday, August 14, the 44-year-old actress let out a lengthy statement via Instagram. "Over the past few days, I've had some time to reflect on the situation I've been dealing with. I was deeply hurt and handled things on a public platform when I should've just dealt with them quietly with the support of my close friends and family," she began writing.
"I felt a lot of Guilty After exposing everything and thought maybe the best resolution to the situation would be to say I lied about it all, but that is not the truth," Taryn confessed. "I started a relationship with somebody who was married and told me he would leave his wife. In the end, I found out that wasn’t possible."
The "Crossroads" actress explained, "I pride myself on being an ethical and kind person. I know what I did was wrong, but the heart makes you do crazy things sometimes." She went on to say, "I am sorry for exposing my situation; I am not sorry for how I love."

The "8 Mile" actress was referring to her bizarre video, wherein she revealed to have licked a married man's "butthole," that she uploaded via Instagram Story over the weekend (August 12 or 13). "That man that I have been messing with is a married man, and every night, well, for about three nights in a row… I was licking his butthole because he liked it," she said in the clip.
"And I didnt mind doing it! Does that bother - is that weird? That is what demons do," she continued. She further elaborated that she had driven "all the way down to Newport Beach" in California to "buy him a boat." She had "brought cash to put a downpayment" on the vehicle.
