Mariska Hargitay hospitalized again for mystery lung ailment


Poor Mariska Hargitay. The Emmy-winning “Law & Order: SVU” star has been hospitalized yet again for something involving the mysterious lung problems she faced in January. At the start of the year, Mariska had a collapsed lung, and had to stay in a hospital for more than a week. Nothing was ever reported about exactly what had happened to Mariska. A few weeks after the incident, Mariska was back at work. Now it seems that Mariska is back in the hospital after complaining of chest pains yesterday.

After suffering through a lung that collapsed twice and multiple surgeries earlier this year, it seemed Mariska Hargitay was on the mend, reporting to work on the set of Law and Order: SVU and seeming healthy.

But now an insider confirms to OK! that the actress has headed back to the hospital, perhaps for an ailment related to her previous lung problems, but it is unsure exactly what has her checking in for medical care this time around.

The star reportedly complained of chest pains on the set of the NBC show yesterday and was taken to the hospital.

Co-star Stephanie March told OK! in January that Mariska seemed “strong as an ox” when she returned to the set.

I’m a fan of the show, and I’ve been really disappointed with this season. That is, when new episodes come on. A new episode of “Law & Order: SVU” hasn’t been shown in weeks. Maybe this is the reason – Mariska is sicker than SVU producers are letting on.

Mariska is an extremely cool actress, mother, wife and women‘s rights advocate. I really hope everything turns out okay for her and her health.

    Oh nooo! I LOVE her on SVU!!

    Sometimes I forget that she’s an actress. The last time when I read she was in the hospital, my first thought was “Oh my god! Did she get shot??”

  2. Jeane says:

    She looks gorgeous btw. One of the most beautiful actresses on tv today, such an expressive face. I have the biggest girl crush on her.

  3. adleisia says:

    I love SVU… and Mariska is amazing. I really hope that they figure out what’s wrong with her, and she gets better soon.

    Mariska is a absolute class act in a field dominated by boorish, overpaid, underachievers, who believe their dubious celebrity status qualifies them as experts in US and world affairs.

    She’s my big girl crush too! I hope she is OK and wish her a speedy recovery.

    I really hope that they can find out what’s wrong with her, and that there’s something that can be done about it. A few of my friends and I actually got to meet Mariska a few years back, during our senior class trip to NYC, when we heard they were filming SVU near our hotel. She was every bit as nice and polite as you’d expect.

  7. Mairead says:

    Aww God love her, she seems so nice. I hope she recovers her full health soon.

  8. Jane says:

    Oh no. 🙁 I love Mariska. I hope she pulls through.

  9. becca says:

    Oh no. 🙁 I REALLY hope she gets better soon, I hope it’s nothing bad. I really like her on SVU, and she’s such a great person in real life.

    I think she’s a wonderful actress and love her on the show. I hope they find whatever is wrong with her and correct it. I would hate to have her leave the show. I think she’s probably one of the only reasons I watch SVU – I like the show, but Criminal Intent is my favorite of the series.

    Scary. For the sake of her little boy, I hope it’s nothing too serious.

    I agree this season has been shaky at best. I hope she recovers and that the writers get it together; I just love SVU! The other L & O’s are good, too, but SVU is my favorite, hands down, mostly because of her.

    I wonder about her chest pain, could it be her heart?
    The location of the pain doesn’t sound like a collapsed lung. I had severe pain from my neck to my shoulder, not chest pain with my collapse.

    Hopefully they will find out what’s really causing this……
