Law & Order News – Mariska Hagerty Is Demanding More Money From The Show
According to the latest edition of The National Enquirer, it seems like there are some people that are quite jealous over the fact that Mariska is making much more money than some of her co-stars.
In fact, they are also hungry for a bigger piece of that pie. As many fans know, the original Law & Order came back to the small screen in 2021 and featured both the voice of Sam Waterston and actor Christopher Meloni, who was also tapped to return to the show.
But it seems like they are only willing to come back if they get the same amount of money – or maybe even more – from the show’s producers.
One source close to the situation even put it this way, “Some people are grumbling it seems inappropriate for someone to make that much, while others are getting a smaller percentage.”

The insider went on to say that interestingly enough, Christopher Meloni is ok with Mariska’s fat paychecks, even though he makes just $3 million a year.
The tipster added, “Christopher left SVU years ago over a salary dispute and came back to leave Organized Crime. He’s a humble man and more appreciative, too, so Chris will never say a word against Mariska.”

The tipster also said, “Call it jealousy but others aren’t thrilled. They want to see some equity down the road and an opportunity to share some of the spoils of the franchise’s success. It’s nothing personal against Mariska per se – but they think it stinks the way things are and they all deserve a pay raise!”
