Perrette left her role as Abby Sciuto in 2017 after 15 seasons. Following her exit, Perrette claimed she endured “multiple physical assaults” on the set of one her shows, though she didn’t specify which at the time.
“I refused to go low, that’s why I’ve never told publicly what happened,” Perrette tweeted in May 2018. “There is a ‘machine’ keeping me silent and feeding FALSE stories about me. A very rich, very powerful publicity ‘machine.’ No morals, no obligation to truth and I’m just left here, reading the lies, trying to protect my crew. Trying to remain calm. He did it.”

After her tweets, CBS responded in a statement to Us Weekly.
“Pauley Perrette had a terrific run on NCIS and we are all going to miss her,” the network said at the time. “Over a year ago, Pauley came to us with a workplace concern.
