Peggy Bernardi is the mother of Alec and Tina Bernardi.
History[]
She was visited by SVU after her son Alec castrated and set their neighbor Josh Galli ablaze after believing he raped his sister. Peggy tried to deny the allegations but was devastated when her confessed she and Galli had consensual sex and she is now pregnant. Peggy probed further and discovered the pregnancy pact that Tina was part of with her friends.
Much later, she bailed her son out and decided to support her daughter in her pregnancy. However, she came under fire when people began to believe that she allegedly drove a 16-year-old pregnant teen named Fidelia Vidal to commit suicide. Peggy admitted to cyber bullying her after discovering she was the head of the pact.
She was later present when her son was convicted, being devastated he was looking at the maximum sentence. When her trial came, Peggy was exonerated after it was discovered that the victim was murdered by Max Matarazzo, the victim's ex-boyfriend.
She then proceeded to attack Greylek after being insulted, and was dragged out of the courtroom. Greylek had her arrested for assault in the third degree. An upset Tina later told Stabler that her family were in jail, meaning that Peggy was most likely charged and imprisoned for assaulting Greylek. (SVU: "Babes")
