CBS has responded to former NCIS star Pauley Perrette’s recent tweets where she suggested her departure from the series after 15 years was due to “multiple physical assaults.”
In a weekend tweet thread, Perrette explained, “I refused to go low, that’s why I’ve never told publicly what happened. There is a ‘machine’ keeping me silent and feeding FALSE stories about me. A very rich, very powerful publicity ‘machine’. He did it.”
She continued, “I’ve been supporting anti-bullying programs forever. But now I KNOW because it was ME! If it’s school or work, that you’re required to go to? It’s horrifying. I left. Multiple Physical Assaults. I REALLY get it now. Stay safe. Nothing is worth your safety. Tell someone.”
CBS responded to Perrette’s concerns in a statement, acknowledging a workplace concern she raised last year. The network said, “Pauley Perrette had a terrific run on NCIS, and we are all going to miss her. Over a year ago, Pauley came to us with a workplace concern. We took the matter seriously and worked with her to find a resolution. We are committed to a safe work environment on all our shows.”
Perrette, known for her role as forensic specialist Abby Sciuto, concluded her tenure on the show earlier this month, remaining tight-lipped about the specific reasons for her departure. She previously told USA Today, “That’s for me to know.” However, she later expressed gratitude to CBS, praising the studio and network, saying, “I want to thank my studio and network CBS. They have always been so good to me and always had my back.
