Mariska Hargitay is condemning the shocking decision

for Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 convictions in New York State

to be overturned, marking the reversal of a major #MeToo era victory.

The Law & Order: SVU star, 60, threw her support behind

sexual assault survivors as she spoke out on Instagram on Thursday, April 25.

“The reversal of Harvey Weinstein’s conviction comes as a painful and infuriating affront to survivors and advocates everywhere,” she wrote. “To every survivor in this case and every survivor who has to bear witness to this incorrigible marriage of justice, my heart is with you today, tomorrow, and forever.”

Earlier this year, Hargitay opened up about her own experience with sexual assault in an essay for PEOPLE, detailing how a man who she considered to be a “friend” had “raped me in my thirties.”
“I couldn’t process it. I couldn’t believe that it happened. That it could happen. So I cut it out,” she wrote in January. “I removed it from my narrative. I now have so much empathy for the part of me that made that choice because that part got me through it. It never happened. Now I honor that part: I did what I had to do to survive.”

Now, however, the actress is “able to see clearly what was done to me.”
