Cleveland kidnapping survivor Michelle Knight is still good friends with the actress who played her in the Lifetime film based on her tragic story.

Taryn Manning Opens Up On Playing Michelle Knight In 'Cleveland Abduction'

On Monday, photos were released on Knight's Facebook page where she can be seen having a good time with actress Taryn Manning. The girls are seen in front of chairs in some photos where they seem to be having a blast with each other.

Manning played Knight in the TV movie Cleveland Abduction based on the true story of when Knight and two other young women (Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight) were kidnapped by Ariel Castro in a suburban home. For approximately a decade, the girls were chained to a bed and were brutally beaten and raped. The girls found their freedom in 2013 when Berry was able to leave the bedroom and get a neighbor to notice her trying to get out of the house.

In an interview with People, Manning opened up on what it was like meeting Knight and becoming good friends with her.

"You would think that this girl was never out of society for a decade. She's up to date on everything," the actress said. "She's an awesome person, probably one of the most positive people that I've ever met."
