Pauley Perrette, former NCIS star, has made headlines once again by revealing new details about her departure from the hit show. In a recent statement, Perrette shared how she “fought like hell” for her safety and the well-being of others after accusing her co-star, Mark Harmon, of inappropriate behavior on set. The tension reportedly stemmed from an alleged incident where Harmon’s dog bit a crew member, leading to a breakdown in their relationship. Perrette had previously hinted at a toxic environment during her final seasons on the show but is now shedding more light on the behind-the-scenes struggles.

Perrette’s latest revelations have reignited discussions surrounding her abrupt exit from NCIS in 2018, following 15 seasons as fan-favorite Abby Sciuto. She expressed frustration over the toll the situation took on her mental health and career, stating that speaking up came at a high personal cost. Despite the fallout, Perrette has remained firm in her decision to step away from the industry, focusing on advocacy and recovery in the years since her departure.
