Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay has talked about how she was unable to stop co-star Christopher Meloni from leaving the show.
In a recent interview with Call Her Daddy (via TV Insider), Hargitay revealed that she was devastated over Meloni’s departure, and that she tried everything to prevent him from leaving. She revealed that he left over a negotiation issue, and one that clearly was not fully resolved.
After 12 years together on the show, Meloni left after the Law & Order: SVU season 12 finale, and would not return to the franchise for another 10 years, when he came back to front his own spinoff. Hargitay revealed that despite her efforts, Meloni was ready to go. Check out Hargitay’s comments, and the interview, below:
“I was devastated. I was devastated. It happened very quickly, and it was surprising. It was over a negotiation, and I tried everything I could to fix it and change it. He was ready to go, he went on and did all these other great shows, great work.”
