When Pauley Perrette, renowned for portraying Abby Sciuto in “NCIS,” revealed her departure after 15 years, fans were taken aback. Initially presumed to be a mutual decision, the reality behind her exit slowly came to light.
In 2018, Perrette took to Twitter, revealing instances of bullying and physical assaults during her time on set, hinting at a darker reason for her departure from “NCIS.” The situation escalated with an incident involving Mark Harmon’s dog attacking a crew member, intensifying tensions between the two actors. CBS intervened by banning Harmon’s dog from the set, deepening the divide.
During Perrette’s final season, she and Harmon filmed separately, with their scenes later edited together. Perrette’s tweets reflected her fear of working with Harmon again, expressing nightmares about potential confrontations.
Despite her exit, Perrette maintains positive relationships with other cast members. However, her reluctance to collaborate with Harmon remains unchanged, casting uncertainty on the future of their relationship.
