Knowing how hard won this was for Mariska—how deeply she wanted to direct and how she was held back from doing so for so long—makes every SVU episode she has the opportunity to direct all the more profound and meaningful.
Faith Hill's version of the Sunday Night Football theme is by far the better version to Carrie Underwood's.
It was also made abundantly clear today that Faith is also a far superior human than Carrie as well.
It saddens me that some insist on mocking Mariska for her "I Decide" mantra—especially since learning it was her beloved father who instilled it within her.
Some seem to delight in being cruel without caring that what M puts out there often holds a much deeper meaning for her...
Fun Fact—Mariska actually missed her flight (and subsequently her call time) because she had been partying too hard with Taylor and the "Bad Blood" Squad after the MTV Video Music Awards the night before!
I wish she has remembered and was able to share that story! 🤣
TW—In this clip you'll see Mariska become visibly horrified by what's shared about why an abuser chose to abuse. M's a brilliant actress—but you can't fake that kind of visceral reaction.
Your insinuations are gross & shameful.
M&P treat each other w/ such ❤️& care.
Just stop.
Because what you are doing and attempting to speak into existence in the name of your fictional ship—is deeply shameful.
Mariska and Peter are doing so much good in this world and they very clearly love and respect each other with every fiber of their being.
Please stop. [3/3]
Even when thinking about my worst enemy, I can't imagine wishing abuse, infidelity, or divorce upon them or their union with their partner in life & in love.
It is abhorrent and appalling that some of you wish these harms upon Mariska and Peter—so loudly & with such gusto. [1/3]
I hope you never experience someone wishing those harms upon you and whomever you choose to be your life partner.
I also hope that you can one day learn how to be better and do better. [2/3]
I would not be here without Mariska, SVU, and JHF. My child would not be here without the impact of their work and the healing that happened in the years prior to their birth—and the healing that continues to happen. [2/3]
A number of years ago, I sent an email to Mariska to share about the birth of my child. To my surprise—she responded & did so to share her congratulations & very sweet words about my child.
I am reminded of M's incredibly kind gesture as my child prepares to graduate today.[1/3]
@MarishMyGoddess I am short AF (very close to that fan's height) and I was thinking the same thing when I saw the photo! I agree about not talking about someone's weight, but the height thing?? Pshhhht!
I am sure that fan is FULLY aware that they are short! It's definitely not a big deal!
