Now New Yorkers can relive the DSK scandal all over again — in prime time!
The upcoming season-premiere episode of “Law & Order: SVU” — with some scenes shot this week on East 58th Street near the East River — will feature a ripped-from-the-headlines plot based on the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case.
In one familiar-looking scene, the DSK character — accompanied by his wife, an Anne Sinclair wannabe — was escorted by detectives out of his pretrial luxury digs.
Faux reporters and photographers shouted questions and snapped shots, just as in the real-life rowdy press scrum at DSK’s rented townhouse on Franklin Street in TriBeCa.
As the cameras rolled, “Law & Order: SVU” extras screamed, “There he is!” and “You rapist!”
Those verbal taunts were aimed at veteran actor Franco Nero, 69, playing an Italian DSK knockoff — possibly the country’s prime minister, sources said.
Actress Kathleen Garrett played the defendant’s stand-by-your-man wife.
And actor Ron Rifkin is playing a savvy defense lawyer — similar to Strauss-Kahn’s real-life mouthpiece, Benjamin Brafman.
Nero’s character was escorted into his new digs by “Law & Order: SVU” detectives played by Ice-T and Richard Belzer.
