Reposting the clip on her own page, Hargitay, 57, joked that the grand gesture made her injury worth it.
The actress first opened up about breaking her ankle in an Instagram post last week, showing her right ankle wrapped in bandages, with a beige, shearling Birkenstock sandal on her other foot.
“My summer look,” she jokinglywrote, adding the hashtags “#specialankleunit,” “#crackingthecase,” “#theselittlepiggieswenttotheER,” and “#agonyofdefeet,” among others.

According toPage Six, Hargitay tripped on a rainy pavement while leaving a Cinema Society screening of Black Widow in the Hamptons. She broke her ankle in the fall and was treated at a local hospital, missing the remainder of the star-studded after-party, hosted at her home.
“Mariska was amazing. Rather than worrying about herself, she was more concerned that everything had gone well and that everyone had a good time at the party,” the insider added, per Page Six.
Two days after her initial post, Hargitay shared anupdatealongside a photo of her propped-up ankle.
“Greetings Slow day here at the office.. view is getting a bit monotonous…….” she captioned the pic. “But I’m feeling happy and grateful. For my#Friendsand#SmallMiraclesand#Blessingsand#kindnessand#Gratitude#LaidUp#LegSupport#ALegUp”
