Mariska Hargitay fans shocked as SVU star makes unexpected move after Donald Trump's presidential victory

I cannot help but admire Mariska Hargitay for her unwavering commitment to justice and her extraordinary efforts towards ending sexual assault. As a woman who has spent decades portraying a strong, compassionate character on television, it is heartening to see that she embodies those qualities off-screen as well.


Fans were taken aback when Mariska Hargitay chose to deactivate her Instagram following the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, with Donald Trump emerging victorious over Kamala Harris.

By the following Wednesday evening, exactly a day after the election outcomes were confirmed, observant social media users started noticing that the actor from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, aged 60, seemed to have disappeared from the platform.

If you’re planning to visit Mariska Hargitay’s Instagram, you might encounter a message stating: ‘Oops, the page can’t be found. It could be that the link provided is faulty, or the page itself has been taken down.’

‘I will miss Mariska Hargitay on Instagram. I hope she comes back next year. I don’t blame her, but f y’all for making her do this,’ one wrote. 

A user posted: ‘The person who caused Mariska Hargitay, America’s beloved actress, to deactivate her Instagram, I hope only the worst for them, in a disrespectful manner.’

A third user inquired, “Is it possible that Mariska’s Instagram account was closed by Instagram, or did she herself choose to close it?

Others described Hargitay deleting her Instagram as a return to ‘the dark ages.’ 

Hargitay has not released a statement about why she seemingly deactivated her account. 

Based on posts on Reddit, it appears she faced numerous threats from Trump supporters after endorsing Harris, and these threats continued even after his victory.

‘Her most recent post were full of MAGA trolling her,’ one claimed.

In my understanding, it seems they might have advised her to step back and reset her social media presence, given the influx of MAGA supporters on her account.

In October, she publicly supported Harris’ campaign for the U.S. presidency by posting a political advertisement.

she kicked off the video by saying, “Hello, I’m Mariska. If you recognize me, you’re aware that throughout my life, I’ve been an advocate, not just acting it out on screen, but also in real life, for young girls and women.

In a recent video, I enthusiastically expressed my fondness for robust leaders who place a high emphasis on ensuring safety, maintaining responsibility, and upholding justice – qualities that, unsurprisingly, I find truly captivating.

‘That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris. With so much on the line, I trust Kamala to uphold the law and defend our freedoms on November 5, Kamala has my vote.’

The ad was paid for through the One for All Committee, which says on its website its aim is persuading ‘moderate women to vote for an America that works for everyone.’ 

Mariska titled her post: “I’m well-known for that – standing up for young ladies and women throughout my life. I yearn for a robust leader who will maintain justice and safeguard our liberties.

‘With so much on the line this election, my choice for President is clear: KAMALA HARRIS.

Beyond portraying Captain Olivia Benson on TV, addressing real-life cases, she has been instrumental in resolving over 11,000 instances of sexual assault and identifying 22 serial offenders who committed such crimes.

It was recently revealed that the actress helped investigators in Michigan identify 22 ‘serial rapists’ by funding prosecutor Kym Worthy’s mission to process 11,000 untested rape kits that had been sitting in a police evidence room, according to The Today Show reported.

Upon discovering the immense number of untested rape kits in Wayne County, Hargitay became determined to ensure that each and every one of them undergo testing.

Via her Joyful Heart Foundation, established in 2004 with the aim of helping survivors heal and changing society’s approach to sexual assault, Hargitay initiated the End the Backlog campaign.

The objective of the program is to eliminate instances of injustice, particularly within legal systems that have accumulated untested rape kits. It also aims to facilitate the creation and execution of reforms that prioritize survivors’ needs and wellbeing.

The charity helped Wayne County raise enough money to test 11,000 kits, which journalist Andrea Canning says has had a ‘ripple effect across the country.’

Canning explained to the Today Show that it’s bringing about alterations across the board – for law enforcement agencies, as well as district attorneys’ offices.

‘So hats off to Kym Worthy…. She deserves the biggest pat on the back for this. Thousands of cases were solved. They found 22 serial rapists among these kits.’
