Mariska Hargitay Drops 30-Year Bombshell Secret About Her Real Father

Mariska Hargitay I just dropped a massive family bomb that is buried for more than 30 years, one that rewrites the narration of its famous education in Hollywood.

The “Law & Order: SVU” star surprised the fans of the Cannes Film Festival with the premiere of his new documentary “My Mom Jayne”, a deeply personal tribute to her late mother, Screen Jayne Mansfield.

But in the process of honoring his mother, Mariska Hargitay revealed something that no one saw: the man who raised her, the bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay, is not his biological father.

The amazing revelation marks the debut of the Hargitay Cinema Directorate, and the documentary does not stop.

Throughout the tragic story of his mother’s death in a horrible car accident in 1967, when Mariska was only three years old, the revelation comes that his true father is the former artist of Las Vegas Nelson Sardelli.

In accordance with the interview with Vanity FairThe truth came out when I was 25 years old. She faced Mickey, who insisted that he was her father, and they never spoke again. But the questions persisted. He wondered why he didn’t feel he shared the same Hungarian roots as his brothers Zoltan and Mickey Jr.

When he turned 30, finally with Sardelli in Atlantic City, where he was a performance.

Hargitay told him Vanity Fair That she introduced him as her daughter. Your emotional reaction? “I’ve been waiting for 30 years for this moment.” But she was ready to jump to a father and daughter meeting.

“I don’t want anything. I don’t need anything about you … I have a dad,” according to the reports, he said, channeling his SVU intensity firm. “There was something about loyalty. I wanted to be loyal to Mickey.”

The emotional complexity of discovering a hidden side of his family weighed a lot.

“Knowing that I am living a lie all my life,” he admitted, became a painful truth to face. Sardelli, now in his 80 years, appears in the documentary along with his two daughters, Mariska’s socks.

In any case, Hargitay found peace and came to understand why her mother, Jayne Mansfield, returned to Mickey Hargitay. It was to provide stability.

Before the premiere of Cannes, it scares a private projection in Las Vegas for its new brothers, and its reaction left her trembling.

“They simply cried, cried and cried. These two women that I love so much. I made them secrets!” She said. “It’s so heartbreaking for me.”

Now 61, Hargitay says he finally felt ready to tell the truth. “I grew up where I was supposed to … I’m the daughter of Mickey Hargitay, that’s not a lie.” He called a “love letter” to the man who raised her, adding: “There is no one to the one who was closer to this planet.”

He also opened on his therapy sessions, where he left or fell asleep every time the conversations consider too close to painful memories … “Like a narcoléptic!” She joked.

Initially he attributed it to the exhaustion of the exhausting hours of filming “Law & Order: SVU”, all while balanced life as the mother of three children. But his therapist had another theory. The sudden sleepiness was probably a deeply rooted defense mechanism, protecting it from facing unresolved trauma.

To break it, he would have to face the shame tied to his mother’s sexual symbol and finally face the long truth about his biological father.
