TV star falls for Hamptons

-

MARISKA Hargitay broke her ankle as she fell while leaving a screening of “Black Widow” in the Hamptons.

The “Law & Order” star was taken to Southampto­n Hospital Friday after she tripped in the rain while leaving a star-studded Cinema Society screening of the Marvel release.

An ambulance was called for Hargitay while other guests, including Brooke Shields who is recovering from a broken femur, rushed to help outside the Regal UA East Hampton Cinema.

A source said Hargitay — who was already recovering from a broken knee and a hairline fracture in her ankle sustained last May — spent a few hours at the hospital and missed the after-party for the screening, which was held at the actress’ home in East Hampton.

A source said, “Mariska was rushing to leave the screening to welcome guests to her home, and took a tumble on the slick rainy street outside the movie theater. She was taken to Southampto­n Hospital by ambulance with her husband Peter Hermann.

“She stayed there for several hours and ended up with a bandaged leg. She didn’t make it back to her house until after midnight, when the party had mostly wound down.”

The source added, “Mariska was amazing. Rather than worrying about herself, she was more concerned that . . . everyone had a good time at the party.”

The fall is just the latest accident for the brave star. In May, Hargitay revealed she had suffered a broken knee, a hairline fracture in her ankle and a torn ligament and posted a picture of herself leaving the Hospital for Special Surgery wearing a leg brace.

The source added that Hargitay’s injury didn’t put a damper on the special night for guests, including David Harbour, Drew Barrymore, Gayle King, Ellen Pompeo, Shields, Don Lemon, Cynthia Nixon, Kyle MacLachlan, Donna Karan and Christie Brinkley.
