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

Mariska Hargitay left fans shocked after deactivating her Instagram account after Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race.

On Wednesday night, less than 24 hours after the election results were finalized, social media users noticed that the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star, 60, no longer appeared to be on the platform.

For those going to check out Hargitay’s Instagram account, they are redirected to an error message that reads: ‘Sorry, this page isn’t available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.’

‘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.

Another tweeted: ‘Whoever made American’s sweetheart Mariska Hargitay deactivate her Instagram, I wish you nothing but the worst disrespectfully.’

‘Oh MY GOD!!! Was Mariska’s account closed by Instagram or did Mariska close the account with her own request?’ a third X user asked.

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.

According to Reddit, she was receiving threats from lots of Trump supporters’ following her endorsement for Harris, and again, following his win.

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

Another speculated: ‘Her team probably told her to take space and restart as MAGA peeps were flooding her account.’

In October, she shared a political ad endorsing Harris’ bid for the Presidency of the United States.

She began the video by stating: ‘Hi, I’m Mariska, and if you know me, and you know that I’ve spent my life fighting for girls and for women, both on screen and off.’

‘You might not be surprised to hear that I like strong leaders who will prioritize safety, accountability, and justice,’ she shared in the video.

‘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 captioned the post: ‘You all know me. I’ve spent my life fighting for girls and women. I want a strong leader who will uphold the law and protect our freedoms.

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

In addition to solving cases on TV as her beloved character, Captain Olivia Benson, she has stepped in to help crack more than 11,000 𝓈ℯ𝓍 assault cases and track down 22 serial rapists.

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.

When Hargitay learned of the staggering backlog of untested rape kits in Wayne County, she ‘made it her mission to get all of them tested.’

Through her Joyful Heart Foundation – which Hargitay founded in 2004 to support the healing of survivors and alter society’s response to 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault – she launched the End the Backlog program.

The program aims to end ‘injustice’ by working to ‘identify jurisdictions with rape kit backlogs’ and assist with ‘developing and implementing survivor-centered reforms.’

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.’

‘It’s making changes everywhere — for police departments, for prosecutors’ offices,’ Canning told the Today Show.

‘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.’
